FalconStor Network Storage Server Adopted by Safeguard Properties
The integration was performed by Chi.
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on April 4, 2008 at 2:55 pmFalconStor Software announced that the
FalconStor Network Storage Server, powered by the FalconStor
IPStor platform, has been deployed by Safeguard Properties, the
largest privately held field services company in the U.S., for storage
reliability and data recovery.
The resulting solution is allowing Safeguard to meet their
demanding recovery point and time objectives. The integration
was performed by FalconStor partner Chi Corporation to enable
Safeguard to strategically meet its storage documentation requirements
that have increased by approximately 500 percent over the past two
years.
"As foreclosures increase, Safeguard has been experiencing rapid
growth and high demand on its data storage infrastructure," said
Michael Manley, chief information officer at Safeguard. "We needed a
solution that would scale rapidly and meet tight recovery time
objectives to store approximately 500,000 additional photos and
documents each week. We are leveraging the FalconStor NSS to host over
a hundred terabytes of available disk storage, and we anticipate our
storage needs to grow more than 40 percent in the coming year."
As a turnkey resource for all aspects of default property
management, Safeguard’s storage capacity requirements have escalated
massively as a result of the rise in home foreclosures throughout the
U.S. Supporting documentation, including photos, are needed to meet
the compliance issues of Safeguard’s national roster of clients that
range from local loan servicing companies to national publicly held
mortgage servicing corporations for whom Safeguard performs
superintendence, preservation and maintenance functions.
"The FalconStor NSS gives Safeguard the capability to mirror and
replicate data between their primary data center and their disaster
recovery location," said John Lallier, FalconStor vice president of
technology. "At their primary data center, Safeguard deploys disk
virtualization that utilizes several heterogeneous storage devices as
well as the FalconStor TimeMark feature and snapshot copies that
enable their mission critical applications to be recovered in minutes,
rather than days."
"The FalconStor Network Storage Server provides cutting edge
disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities in demanding
storage environments," said Chi Corporation Vice President Greg
Knieriemen. "As a solutions provider specializing in data storage,
backup, & disaster recovery, Chi Corporation was pleased to offer
Safeguard the FalconStor Network Storage Server, which enabled
Safeguard to retain their existing storage infrastructure, maximizing
the return on its existing storage investment."
