Saint Bernard Secures Storage Solution From FalconStor Software and Dynamic Network Factory for...

MELVILLE, N.Y. & HAYWARD, Calif. -- IPStor-Powered Solution from Dynamic Network Factory Provides Global Security Software Firm with iSCSI Connectivity and Faster Data Recovery

FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC), a leading developer of network storage infrastructure software

solutions, and Dynamic Network Factory, Inc. (DNF), a leading maker of high-performance network area storage, storage area network and RAID systems, today announced that St. Bernard Software Inc. has implemented Hybrid Storage Network (HSN(TM)) solutions from DNF, powered by FalconStor's flagship product, IPStor(R), to meet the diverse needs of its corporate storage environment.

With 35 servers and hundreds of client machines distributed across its headquarters in San Diego, St. Bernard faced mounting challenges created by decentralized storage. When additional storage was needed, administrators were forced to shut down critical application servers individually to attach more disk capacity, often requiring a complete rebuild of its old storage array. Backup was also a major issue, as some servers synchronized with a data security agent, but others were neglected as the number of active systems exceeded what could tracked and managed.

"Not only were we looking for a solution to centralize our storage, but also one that would allow our QA department to utilize the added pool of storage without a direct Fibre Channel connection," said Theo Seales, IT Manager at St. Bernard Software. "With the DNF and FalconStor solution, our data is now consolidated in a single system, managing data and backup processes across the corporation. Our QA department now has access to 1.2 terabytes of storage, allocated as needed."

St. Bernard wanted to address two core organizational needs with a single solution. They needed multiple terabytes of cost effective storage for static files, such as ghost images used by their QA department, while their SQL and Exchange databases on their application servers required superior performance. Other products St. Bernard considered forced the difficult choice of either going with SCSI drives for fast database performance at a cost premium, and with less storage space overall, or choosing Serial ATA disks and sacrificing speed for affordability.
