Software-Defined Architecture: Falconstor is a 100% software-based deduplication and data management solution. Unlike purpose-built box solutions, this technology is as flexible as an equalizer and can be customized for long-term data needs in any industry.

100% compatibility: Falconstor technology is completely compatible with all data protection solutions.

Customizability: Each industry's data profile is different and should be stored according to its specific regulations. Falconstor technology can be customized for any industry's long-term data protection needs due to its extremely flexible architecture. Here are some examples:

• It can be used as a physical or virtual server, as well as in the cloud.
• Deduplication speeds of up to 320TB per hour are possible (with Physical server).
• Cluster Architecture (Active-Active or Active-Passive architecture for up to 8 servers).
• Ransomware protection is guaranteed to be 100 percent effective (with physical tapes).
• A second copy (with Immutable Object Storage).
• No upfront investment required (Monthly payment model).

High Performance: Falconstor’s patented deduplication techniques enable it to process data at least three times faster than competitors in both virtual and physical environments.

While processing speed (deduplication) in virtual environments ranges from about 3TB/Hour to 16TB/Hour depending on the infrastructure, with 8 active physical servers running in a single cluster, this speed can reach up to 320TB/Hour.

High Deduplication Rate: Falconstor’s patented deduplication techniques allow us to reach deduplication rates of 100:1 and above without sacrificing speed. The rate of data deduplication varies depending on the type of source data, the retention period, and the frequency of full backups.

For instance, if 10TB of data is fully backed up 12 times in a year, the total amount of data is 120TB. As a result, a deduplication ratio of 24:1 is achieved, as 120TB of data will be reduced to 5TB in a year. As the duration of the backup increases, the number of full backups increases as well, resulting in ratios of 100:1 and higher.

Physical-Virtual Air-Gap: The Falconstor solution allows you to protect a copy of data after it has been deduplicated in an external environment across multiple media. Object Storage or physical tapes can be used to store additional copies.

Falconstor’s Object Storage supports the Immutable feature, which makes data read-only for a set period of time, protecting against ransomware. The Virtual Air-Gap feature is provided by this feature.

Tapes may be preferable for storing large amounts of data for a long time. Physical tapes are much more reliable against ransomware because they are offline media that do not consume power while in standby. You can use this feature to create a Physical Air-Gap. Physical tapes are also far less expensive than disk-based archiving systems.

VTL and Physical Tape Support: Supporting virtual and physical tapes, the Falconstor solution provides both flexibility and high speed, as well as significant ransomware protection. Businesses can protect the data they deduplicate with Falconstor directly on virtual (VTL) or physical tapes.

Businesses that use IBM AS/400 (IBMi) can, for example, back up their backups to VTL fields created in Falconstor and recover their AS/400 environment as bare metal. Much larger data is safely and reliably stored for many years in much smaller spaces thanks to Falconstor’s powerful deduplication techniques.

Cluster Architecture: Falconstor is ideal if you require both increased processing speed and uninterrupted processing. Falconstor can be set up as an Active-Active cluster with up to 8 servers, or 4 Active and 4 Passive.

This advantage is extremely beneficial to MSPs, banks, and etc. It will provide organizations with high transaction speed and consistency.

High Data Security: Falconstor offers the highest level of data security, with role-based detailed authorization and AES-256 and FIPS-140-2 data encryption standards.

Cost Advantage: With its design flexibility and freedom tailored to your needs, Falconstor offers you a significantly higher cost advantage.

Small and medium business example: In this case, Falconstor's virtual solution may be preferable; one copy of deduplication data can be stored on Object Storage services with Immutable support against both major cases and ransomware, replicated to a second location (replication), or copied to physical tapes. The virtual server in this example can be customized as needed; for example, for lower RPO, space can be defined using an SAS SSD or NVMe-based storage system. In virtual environments, the Falconstor solution can handle up to 16TB per hour. Small and medium-sized businesses will be able to access more corporate services or solutions at a lower cost thanks to these benefits.

Large Businesses/Enterprises: When it comes to large businesses, design flexibility and freedom become even more important. Falconstor simplifies large enterprises' long-term data protection needs while making it much more cost-effective, thanks to its modern data management features and highly flexible architecture.
