FalconStor Software, Inc. announced that its FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) storage virtualization and data protection solution has achieved VMware Ready status.

This designation indicates that FalconStor NSS has passed an evaluation and testing process managed by VMware and is now listed on the VMware Partner Product Catalog.
 
Passing the VMware-specified testing helps ensure that FalconStor NSS makes best use of VMware technology and is ready for deployment in customer environments.
 
"We are pleased that FalconStor NSS qualifies for the VMware Ready logo, signifying to customers that it has passed specific VMware testing and interoperability criteria and is ready to run in production environments," said Sheryl Sage, director, alliance programs, VMware.
 
"The certification of FalconStor NSS for VMware vSphere 5 and VAAI continues the tradition of FalconStor solutions working with and extending the VMware native storage integration and data protection capabilities," said Fadi Albatal, vice president of marketing for FalconStor. "Now our customers can enjoy the full benefit of offloading resource-intensive functions to the storage infrastructure and integrating VMware vSphere 5 into virtual storage environments optimized for backup and DR using any combination of storage and physical servers."
