New FalconStor NSS SAN Accelerator Doubles Overall SAN Performance at a Fraction of the Cost of Conventional Disk Storage Solutions
 

 FalconStor Software, Inc., provider of TOTALLY Open™ data protection solutions, and Violin Memory, Inc., provider of the world's fastest and most scalable memory appliances, today announced the first flash memory-based storage system that simultaneously accelerates reads and writes for mission-critical applications as well as general SAN performance. The FalconStor® NSS SAN Accelerator doubles SAN performance, delivering high-speed access to stored data with minimal latency at a fraction of the cost of conventional solutions.
  The FalconStor NSS SAN Accelerator combines the FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS) Gateway, a Violin 1010 Flash Memory Appliance and FalconStor's storage management software to create a virtual SAN out of new or existing storage resources while introducing a solid-state memory array as a caching platform for all application data requiring the fastest input/output (I/O). The integrated solution uses an economical amount of solid-state storage as a caching platform. Lab tests of the FalconStor NSS SAN Accelerator conducted by FalconStor show that a solid-state layer of 1 percent of a SAN´s total storage capacity will increase overall SAN performance greater than 100 percent.
