Atlanta Technology launches hosted disaster recovery solution with FalconStor

Jul 10, 2008 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- FALC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- FalconStor Software Inc (Nasdaq: FALC), a developer of data protection solutions, has partnered with Atlanta Technology, a provider of IT solutions to SME market, to deliver a hosted disaster recovery service for small and medium-sized businesses, based on FalconStor technology.

According to the company, Atlanta's hosted disaster recovery service is based on FalconStor Continuous Data Protector (CDP) and offers a 'back in 60 minutes' service level agreement. Disaster protection is provided through the continuous replication of customer data via TCP/IP or FC to two tier one data centres: a primary location operated by Equinix and, from there, to a second location operated by Interxion.

The solution reportedly offers the following benefits: time-based retention policy combined with on-demand/event-driven bookmarks to facilitate recovery; application-awareness to allow the user to restore the data with 100% transactional integrity; reverse journaling mechanism; flexible configuration, which facilitates rapid deployment; as well as integration with third-party backup software and VTL.

Atlanta joined FalconStor's reseller programme in order to secure access to the company's Software Appliance Kits (software-only solutions) for internal storage. Following today's OEM agreement, Atlanta will purchase the Software Appliance Kits and implement solutions on hardware of its choice and then sell these solutions to customers, the company said.

Pricing is dependent on the deployment, the local appliance and setup, plus a fee per GB of storage in the data centres. There are several tiers of service according to the size of the customer. No other financial details were disclosed.
