File-interface Deduplication System
Enhanced Disk-to-Disk Backup with Data Deduplication

FalconStor File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) offers an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage capacity-optimized storage (COS) repository. FalconStor FDS helps you minimize online storage capacity requirements for backup and archiving applications. Capacity requirements for disk-to-disk (D2D) backup applications can be reduced by as much as 20 times or more by eliminating data redundancies resulting from backup operations. With FalconStor FDS you can retain more data online, longer, for quicker data restores.

In addition, FalconStor FDS replication technology enables cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) by sending only unique, deduplicated data across the WAN, significantly reducing bandwidth requirements and costs. Flexible deployment options range from a small-footprint virtual appliance model for remote and branch offices, to a gateway model that can scale up to multiple petabytes of logical storage capacity at the main data center.

  • Eliminate data redundancies and reduce storage capacity requirements
    By eliminating data duplicates resulting from backup and archiving operations, FalconStor FDS reduces disk capacity requirements by as much as 20 times or more. This shrinks overall backup costs and allows you to retain more data readily available on disk resources for faster restore.
  • More reliable backups, faster restores
    Backup to disk provides a more reliable backup solution; backup images can be easily validated to ensure data consistency. FalconStor FDS offers fast restore from backup images.
  • Low-cost DR
    Enabled with global deduplication, FalconStor FDS replicates only unique data across sites. WAN traffic is optimized and bandwidth requirements can be reduced by as much as 99%. Remote site tape libraries and media can be eliminated, ending the costs and security risks associated with physical tape transport.
  • Eliminates reliance on tape and backups
    Leave cumbersome, costly tape backup solutions behind entirely, or centralize tape backup operations at the data center for long-term data retention.
