FalconStor Adds Inline Dedupe to VTL

May 8, 2012 Alex Woodie

Organizations that back up their data using FalconStor Software‘s virtual tape library (VTL) can now deduplicate their data as the backup is executing, thanks to newly introduced support for inline deduplication with FalconStor VTL 7.5.

FalconStor VTL is a backup and recovery solution that it sells either as a pre-configured appliance (or a cluster of appliances), or as software that customers install on their own X86 servers. By backing up to disk instead of tape, the VTL offering helps speed its customers’ backups and also provides more flexibility. The product supports the Power Systems server and IBM i environments, including the capability to IPL an IBM i server from a virtual tape image.

The biggest new feature in FalconStor VTL 7.5 is the addition of support for inline data deduplication. This bolsters FalconStor’s previous support for other dedupe options, including concurrent and post-processing. FalconStor boasts that, with three dedupe options, it now has more dedupe options than other vendors and can better match the use of dedupe technology with customer needs.

The Melville, New York, company shared some backup benchmark figures as well. The company says that, when configured in a four-node cluster configuration, FalconStor VTL 7.5 could backup 28 TB per hour using inline deduplication, and more than 40 TB per hour with post processing.

FalconStor VTL 7.5 also bolsters its support for Symantec‘s Open Storage Technology (OST) file format. The vendor says that, with support for the OST.Next format, its VTL can store up to 2 million backups in an eight-node cluster, thereby making years of data immediately available when needed.

FalconStor VTL 7.5 is available now. Pricing ranges from $2,500 to $4,500 per terabyte. For more information, see www.falconstor.com.

GoAnywhere from Linoma Software Makes FTP Easier and More Secure

When it comes to your current FTP processes:

        • Are you looking to tighten the security to protect sensitive files from data breach?
        • Would you like to streamline your processes, and thus give your programmers
           more time for other projects?
        • Have you wondered if there's an easier, more cost-effective way to exchange data
           that still keeps HIPAA, PCI DSS, GLBA and SOX compliance auditors happy?

GoAnywhere, Linoma Software's managed file transfer software suite, solves all of these challenges and more. With GoAnywhere, your organization can secure, automate, and encrypt the data transfers with your trading partners, customers, vendors, employees and internal systems. It supports multiple platforms and all popular protocols, including FTP/S, SFTP, HTTP/S, AS2, SCP, and more.

The GoAnywhere managed file transfer suite is comprised of three products: GoAnywhere Director, GoAnywhere Services and GoAnywhere Gateway.

GoAnywhere Director automates and secures file transfers using a centralized approach with a single point of control. It can connect to almost any system (internal or external) using standard protocols including FTP/S, SFTP, HTTP/S, AS2, SMB, MQ and SMTP. GoAnywhere Director can also encrypt and compress files using popular Open PGP encryption, GPG, ZIP, GZIP and TAR standards.

GoAnywhere Services is a secure FTP server (and optional web server) that allows trading partners and employees to connect to your system and exchange files in a secure environment. As an on-premise solution, it includes an enterprise SFTP Server, FTPS Server and FTP Server with extensive management controls and audit log reporting. A secure HTTPS server can also be enabled for performing ad-hoc file transfers through an intuitive browser-based interface or through a Secure Mail feature.

GoAnywhere Gateway is both a reverse proxy and forward proxy, providing an additional layer of network security when exchanging data with your trading partners. By placing GoAnywhere Gateway in your DMZ (public network segment), your sensitive data and servers will remain safely protected in your private network. Its enhanced reverse proxy service does not require inbound ports to be opened into your private network which is essential for compliance with PCI DSS and strict security policies.

GoAnywhere can be installed onto IBM System i, IBM System p (AIX), IBM System (Mainframe), Windows, Linux, UNIX, HP-UX, Mac OS and Solaris platforms.
