Fujitsu and FalconStor Into WW Reseller Agreement

FalconStor Software, Inc. entered into a comprehensive worldwide reseller agreement with Fujitsu Limited.

The combination of FalconStor software with Fujitsu storage will enhance Fujitsu’s solutions to serve the evolving storage management needs of its customers.
 
Under the terms of the partnership with FalconStor, Fujitsu and its affiliates worldwide will resell the FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) storage virtualization and management solution in conjunction with its ETERNUS DX disk storage systems, using FalconStor NSS software bundled with Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers.

The combined FalconStor/Fujitsu solutions will support flexible storage virtualization in multi-vendor storage environments. In addition, a new data migration service powered by FalconStor NSS will be offered by Fujitsu Professional Services and third-party professional services organizations that are partnered with Fujitsu.
 
"This new agreement with FalconStor provides Fujitsu with an important technology that will help our customers in every part of the world," said Hitoshi Matsushima, senior vice president of the Storage Systems Unit, Fujitsu Limited. "It complements the capabilities of ETERNUS DX disk storage systems and greatly simplifies the data migration process for those customers moving to Fujitsu’s state-of-the-art storage arrays."
 
"As data continues to grow exponentially throughout global enterprises, the need to contain costs persists even as IT managers accommodate the expansion or upgrade of data center storage environments," said Bernie Wu, vice president of business development for FalconStor. "With FalconStor NSS, we are providing a strategic technology to Fujitsu that will help its customers manage, protect and expand existing storage installations – while also enabling a service that will help customers migrate to new, more efficient deployments."
 
Fujitsu will sell FalconStor NSS bundled as gateway appliances with Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers. Fujitsu has certified FalconStor NSS for use with all Fujitsu storage, including Fujitsu ETERNUS DX disk storage systems, as well as third-party storage arrays, enabling Fujitsu customers to integrate new and legacy storage systems into a single virtual SAN with built-in business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.
