Built on the FalconStor IPStor virtualization platform, the
FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) is a software solution that provisions
virtual disks to hosts via Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand, or NAS, providing
enterprise-class performance, compatibility, reliability, and heterogeneous
storage management. Data snapshots taken by the built-in FalconStor TimeMark functionality
can be used for data protection and recovery.
FalconStor NSS uses thin provisioning and Capacity on Demand (COD) to
avoid storage underutilization.
SYS-CON’s
Virtualization Journal’s “Virtualization Readers’ Choice Awards”
SYS-CON's Virtualization
Journal announced today its first annual Virtualization
Readers' Choice Awards. SYS-CON's Readers' Choice Awards, also
known as the "Oscars
of the Software Industry" has been one of the most
prestigious industry award programs for more than a decade. This year's
virtualization awards will be given in 17 categories and award-winning products
and services will be selected by Virtualization Journal
readers.
Virtualization takes the cost and complexity out of IT, and can even help us
reduce the CO2 footprint. IDC has stated that the virtualization services
market alone is going to reach $11.7 billion by 2011 and in general this
technology, which has been around for a good number of years, seems suddenly to
be on everyone's mind.
In short, Virtualization is fast becoming a key requirement for every server in
the data center, enabling increased workloads in server consolidation projects,
efficient software development and testing, resource management for dynamic
data centers, application re-hosting and compatibility, and high-availability
partitions.
The tipping point, though - as anticipated by
industry experts already back in 2005 - seems to be coming in 2008.
2008 will be the year of Virtualization with many companies
