(NASDAQ: FALC) announced today the general availability of FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector (CDP) 7.5 and FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS) 7.5 data protection solutions with RecoverTrac™ 2.7 disaster recovery (DR) automation technology.  

These solutions now offer enhanced features for intelligently moving, storing, and protecting data without burdening production resources. The RecoverTrac tool has more flexibility to automate failover and failback with greater accuracy in any physical, virtual, or hybrid environment, including VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V deployments. Improved capabilities allow users to:

• Migrate data to and from the cloud. FalconStor NSS 7.5 enables data migration to and from cloud infrastructures, allowing customers to deliver business continuity, data protection, and disaster recovery services.

• Optimize VMware storage environments. Enhanced integration with VMware VAAI enables highly efficient management of thinly provisioned disk space.

• Stretch data protection. An automated stretched cluster configurator in FalconStor NSS 7.5 simplifies the setup and configuration of metro stretched clusters, increasing data availability, reducing downtime, and improving business continuity.

• Fully automate disaster recovery. RecoverTrac 2.7 technology automates a full range of complex disaster recovery tasks including failover and failback in physical, virtual, and hybrid environments, including VMware vSphere 5.5.

• Ensure complete protection for Microsoft environments. The RecoverTrac tool now supports protection and recovery of physical and virtual machines running Microsoft Windows 2012 and Hyper-V 3.0.

• Replicate data with peace-of-mind. FalconStor NSS and FalconStor CDP 7.5 enable customers to replicate multiple types of data quickly, each with its own encryption format, adding an extra layer of security when moving data.

• Expand journaling on demand. FalconStor NSS and FalconStor CDP 7.5 include an enhanced continuous protection journal feature. This enables on-demand journal expansion when more space is needed, facilitating recovery and minimizing data loss or gaps in data.  

FalconStor data protection solutions go beyond other storage management systems by optimizing and enabling storage virtualization, continuous data protection, business continuity, and data analysis within heterogeneous physical, virtual, and hybrid environments across multiple locations. Businesses can deploy comprehensive data protection and disaster recovery while creating a secondary storage repository for data mining and other uses without any impact on production storage.
