FalconStor Integrates With Hitachi Content Platform

FalconStor Software, Inc. announced the integration between its long-term data retention and reinstatement solutions and the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) object storage platform.

The end-to-end joint offering delivers massive scalability for deduplicated backup and archival storage. With data deduplication, FalconStor’s long-term retention and reinstatement solutions, Virtual Tape Library (VTL) and StorSafe deliver reduced backup and archive storage cost. In addition, the company includes 40TB/hour data ingest performance and a zero-trust security model, which allows customers to own and manage their encryption keys. Its heterogeneous architecture is compatible with nearly all backup solutions and integrates with a customer’s existing backup and archive environments, including those for IBM i. With an industry physical tape import feature, the firm allows the simple migration of legacy data from tape to virtual tape for a cost-effective storage of deduplicated data on HCP object storage systems.

With scalability, HCP object storage can grow from terabytes to exabytes to store expanding volumes of backup and archive data. In addition, with security, HCP can mitigate data exposure or theft with multi-tenancy, WORM and encryption. HCP delivers customers the ability to navigate modern challenges offering support for multiple use cases with visibility and control across all data. A modern digital platform, it enables easy management of volumes of data, response to application demands and wide data accessibility, while satisfying compliance requirements.

“We have a longstanding, fruitful relationship with Hitachi Vantara,”  said Todd Brooks, FalconStor CEO. “The joint integration between HCP and our Long-Term Data Retention and Reinstatement solutions will reduce storage costs, while increasing data portability and accessibility. We look forward to taking our end-to-end solution to market and leveraging the technologies to efficiently help customer manage their long-term data as retention period mandates in compliance, regulatory, legal discovery, and privacy continue to expand.“

“We are excited with the integration of FalconStor’s Long-Term Data Retention and Reinstatement solutions with HCP,” said Colin Gallagher, VP,infrastructure solutions product marketing, Hitachi Vantara. “Our collective engineering teams put the end-to-end solution through its paces and we are very pleased with the performance and business value that can be delivered to our enterprise customers.“
