Fresche Solutions and FalconStor Partner

Fresche Solutions, Inc., in AI-powered IT modernization, announces a partnership with FalconStor Software, Inc., in IBM Power Systems backup optimization.

Together, the companies will deliver modern, secure, and scalable backup and recovery solutions for IBM i environments in the cloud.

As part of the collaboration, FalconStor’s StorSafe solution will be integrated into Fresche’s managed services for IBM Power Virtual Server (PowerVS), providing enterprises with a cyber-resilient alternative to legacy tape-based backup systems.

Joint solution is designed to optimize backup and archive operations in hybrid cloud deployments by:

• Modernizing backup from on-premises IBM Power systems to PowerVS: Enabling hybrid cloud transitions
• Optimizing backups of workloads running natively in PowerVS: Ensuring high-speed recovery and reduced storage costs
• Leveraging IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS): For long-term data retention, compliance, and immutable protection ransomware attacks

“Our collaboration with FalconStor strengthens our ability to help IBM i customers modernize with confidence,” said Lief Morin, GM, managed services, Fresche Solutions. “Together, we’re delivering solutions that align with cloud-first strategies while maintaining enterprise-grade resilience and security.“

Key Benefits of FalconStor StorSafe:

• Faster, More Reliable Backup & Recovery: Emulates traditional tape libraries while improving speed, flexibility, and automation
• Cloud-Ready and Scalable: Integrates with IBM COS to ensure geo-dispersed, highly durable archive and restore capabilities
• Reduced Costs: Advanced de-dupe and storage optimization reduce infrastructure, bandwidth, and cloud storage expenses by up to 60%, including infrastructure costs
• Ransomware Protection: Immutable storage and WORM (Write Once Read Many) support defend critical data from cyber threats
• Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with IBM BRMS and other backup tools, making deployment fast and non-disruptive

“This partnership is a natural fit,” added Todd Brooks, CEO, FalconStor. “Fresche’s leadership in IBM i modernization and managed services complements our mission to provide robust, efficient, and future-ready data protection.“
