History

FalconStor was founded in 2000 in New York by a team of experts with decades of experience in storage networking and a track record of proven success. The company's engineering and management teams are seasoned veterans of enterprise storage and networking software. They originally joined forces at Cheyenne Software, where ReiJane Huai, now FalconStor CEO, was chief architect of the award-winning ARCserve1 solution, the industry's first client/server storage management solution and the industry standard in backup and restore technology. Cheyenne Software was later acquired by Computer Associates International, Inc.

The spirit of innovation is pervasive throughout FalconStor Software. It drives us to develop better, more flexible, and ever more efficient technology solutions that address real-world customer needs. It translates into award-winning products which consistently garner industry accolades and have won the loyalty of thousands of customers worldwide.
