Avnet to Distribute FalconStor

FalconStor Software, Inc. and Avnet Technology Solutions have entered into an agreement for the distribution of FalconStor software products by Avnet UK.

Avnet will be distributing the full range of FalconStor solutions,
including FalconStor Continuous Data Protector (CDP), FalconStor
Network Storage Server (NSS), FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
with deduplication and FalconStor File-interface Deduplication System
(FDS).

The products, which are already being distributed by Avnet in the
Benelux, will be taken to market immediately by Avnet in the UK with
other European countries following suit as and when appropriate.

"Avnet has a strong reputation in the channel and this is what made it such an attractive partnership for FalconStor," said Guillaume Imberti, president and general manager of FalconStor´s EMEA operations. "Avnet’s
market approach will allow our data protection solutions to find their
way to many customers and solution providers striving for better data
efficiency and protection. We believe that working with Avnet will
strengthen our distribution reach throughout Europe."

"FalconStor products fit well into our storage portfolio and
address our partners’ goals. With the increasing volume of data,
there’s more and more demand for storage virtualization and data
protection," said Mark Walker, EMEA director, Storage Product Business Group, Avnet Technology Solutions. "Together
with FalconStor, we will jointly recruit resellers and solution
providers to meet with the growing demand for FalconStor solutions."
