FalconStor Software, Inc announced that W3i has implemented
FalconStor Network Storage Server, powered by the FalconStor IPstor virtualization
platform, for storage, data provisioning and migration of its data.
W3i provides desktop and wireless e-services for marketers
and publishers. Offering such graphically intensive solutions as screensavers,
ring tones and games, increased the impact on their storage challenges. With
over one million transactions daily, substantial anticipated growth, and a SAN
that had grown from 1.8 TB to 8 TB in less than a year, W3i required a storage
system that could manage its fast growing supply of data, while ensuring data
protection and fast and easy retrievability. For them, FalconStor NSS was the
answer.
"With FalconStor technology, W3i can continue being a
leader within our industry by using data in a smarter and more scalable
approach," said Kyle Ohme, Director of Information Technology at W3i.
"With FalconStor NSS, we can better utilize our large amounts of data with
the continued assurance that our services are protected and easily retrievable
by our over 15 million unique visitors a month."
"FalconStor NSS provides enterprise applications with
the widest array of the most advanced storage services - so that
mission-critical data is always available and easily recoverable with any
point-in-time integrity," said Wendy Petty, Vice President of Sales at
FalconStor. "W3i is leveraging FalconStor solutions to quickly and easily
provision and migrate data for efficient and effective management of their
customer database."
The IPStor virtualization platform is a comprehensive suite of
storage services, as well as an
integrated platform for both SAN and NAS all under one centralized management
interface running across multi-vendor and multi-platform environments. With the
IPStor platform, IT managers can build a new storage network or build
intelligence into their current infrastructure.
