FalconStor developed this technology to deliver high availability, no single point of failure and support for end-to-end redundancy in storage network architectures, and it is a key component of the company's flagship product, IPStor Enterprise Edition. The patent covers technology designed by FalconStor to facilitate the automatic fail-over clustering of two storage appliances in the event that a storage appliance becomes unavailable (e.g. maintenance, upgrades, etc.). The healthy storage appliance in a fail-over cluster transparently takes over all the processing tasks of the unavailable storage appliance in the event of a system failure. From the perspective of the application server(s), company data and applications remain highly available to sustain business operations and ensure business continuity. This distinctive technology is currently available only to FalconStor IPStor customers. In addition, FalconStor has a number of patents pending for software solutions that provide advanced storage services in critical areas including synchronous mirroring, real time data migration, backup acceleration, rapid recovery and replication. ...FalconStor profile Eden Prairie, MN - May 18, 2004 - I-TECH announced today the introduction of 4-Gbps Fibre Channel analysis support for the I-TECH PowerFrame Storage Test System. The 4-Gbps Fibre Channel PowerPak is a high-value solution for monitoring and testing storage devices and SAN components at this advanced speed. The 4-Gbps Fibre Channel PowerPak features Satellite software with powerful filtering, triggering, and searching capabilities. Prefiltering extends trace memory depth to gigabytes, which allows users to capture only the data of interest to them, decreasing troubleshooting time. The Capture Strategy Builder is an easy-to-use tool providing uncompromised capability. Strategies can be configured to simply trigger on a specific event, such as a frame or a primitive, or as complex Boolean structures and message and counter sequences. Satellite software provides searches on frames, primitives, and errors in a matter of seconds, regardless of the length of the trace or the number of channels capturing data. "In the race to get 4-Gbps Fibre Channel storage devices to market, product developers require a comprehensive set of test features and a reliable test solution. The 4-Gbps Fibre Channel PowerPak is the ideal tool for SAN component and storage device developers. The PowerPak's innovative hardware as well as extensive software features for design and development verification decrease time to market and ensure product reliability," said I-TECH CEO Steve Bucher. ...I-TECH profile Yorktown, Virginia - May 18, 2004 - With the recent release of iSAN Vault, Cybernetics has added iSCSI disk storage to its popular iSCSI backup products. The iSAN Vault is a complete storage solution including a range of RAID capacity options and a simple, intuitive management suite supporting storage allocation with dynamic volume spanning, active-active failover, snapshots, and RAID 0, 1, 5 and 5+Hot Spare. Historically, there have been two paths to storage networking. NAS is low in cost, uses ubiquitous Ethernet, and is easy to implement, but the file system overhead deals quite a blow to performance, and incurs compatibility limitations. Fibre Channel SAN implements a block-level protocol to deliver exceptional performance, but has been plagued with interoperability and complexity issues, and a price point that is a significant obstacle for most small and medium sized business organizations. Cybernetics' iSAN is based on the iSCSI block level protocol to deliver the benefits of SAN without the cost and complexity of Fibre Channel. According to a Storage Analyst with Cybernetics, "iSCSI is all about value. If you have an Ethernet network, you already have the infrastructure and expertise to implement an IP SAN. iSAN Vault delivers Fibre Channel SAN performance for about 20% of the cost." ...Cybernetics profile Editor:- May 18, 2004 - a new article is published on STORAGEsearch today called "NAS, DAS or SAN? - Choosing the Right Storage Technology for Your Organization" written by Duran Alabi, VP of Sales and Marketing at Xtore.

Users can route a SCSI tape library or other SCSI storage across an Ethernet IP-based network to provide more access to existing storage devices. The iPBridge 2500C/R/D is available in two form factors: board-level, for embedding into OEM storage devices or in a rack mount/desktop enclosure for use with legacy devices. The ATTO iPBridge 2500C/R/D supports both iSCSI and NDMP requirements for NAS and SANs in a single hardware solution. ...ATTO Technology profile Dallas, Texas - May 17, 2004 - Tek-Tools, Inc today began shipments of the latest module of its Profiler Rx network resource management suite. Profiler for MS Exchange Server is a powerful analysis tool that enables the intelligent management of applications and hardware throughout a department or enterprise to identify potential pain points and possible data loss and to avoid them. By implementing Profiler for Exchange, system administrators are now empowered with the ability to better identify and avoid potential problems that could lead to data loss and unnecessary hardware acquisition. Profiler Rx eases the pain of managing Exchange servers by allowing IT managers to look at current size, historical trending and user file analysis at the server and mailbox level. Managers can examine the total size of mailboxes on the server, the size and owner of each mailbox and information about sent and received messages and attachments. Mailboxes can then be groomed for duplicate files and old messages that can be shifted to secondary storage, thus reducing the chance of costly problems and inefficiency. "With the difficulty of managing network resources, such as Microsoft Exchange, we wanted to provide system managers with a consolidated, centralized view of servers in relation to the entire storage network," said Ken Barth, President and CEO of Tek-Tools. "Through the use of our powerful, modular software that monitors and reports on the pulse of corporate applications and hardware, IT personnel can better avoid potential failures in data flow and help improve the overall health of their network." The Profiler Rx Suite is high-performance, modular, Web-based, real-time and historical resource reporting application targeting DAS, NAS, SAN, database and backup pain in customer environments. With the Profiler Rx suite, you choose solution modules that allow your organization to monitor the entire storage enterprise. The Profiler suite installs quickly with only one download and easily integrates with existing storage systems and applications offering immediate payback. Profiler for MS Exchange Server is now available; prices start at $3000. ...Tek-Tools profile Hopkinton, MA - May 17, 2004 - A U.S. District Court jury today found that HP is infringing three EMC Corporation patents.
