MaXXaN ENHANCES INTELLIGENT FABRIC STORAGE SOLUTIONS

MaXXan Systems Inc announced a significant enhancement of its intelligent fabric systems with the availability of FalconStor's IPStor 4.0 software suite. MaXXan solutions enable storage on demand and provide customers with a comprehensive set of advanced storage services for disaster recovery, file serving, data protection and storage consolidation.

Today, IT users need data on demand regardless of storage mechanisms, computing platform, distance, type of connection between them and time of day. Storage networks with built-in intelligence enable IT departments to provide data on demand by easily delivering logically consolidated data and storage.

"Instead of buying a variety of systems from a number of vendors, customers are switching to this new paradigm of intelligent fabrics to simplify the implementation of computing on demand, where processing, connectivity and services are added to a heterogeneous environment as the needs grow," said Vic Mahadevan, president and chief executive officer of MaXXan Systems. "With MaXXan's intelligent fabric solutions, IT departments can serve their users the same way a utility company does: by scaling when the demand goes up."

"The combination of MaXXan's revolutionary intelligent fabric technology with the IPStor 4.0 and its centralized management tools can serve as the storage backbone of an on-demand computing environment," said ReiJane Huai, chairman and chief executive officer of FalconStor Software. "IPStor delivers a broad range of innovative storage services. In addition to SAN and NAS, mirroring and virtualization services, IPStor offers advanced replication services with compression and encryption, real-time virus scanning, capacity on demand, backup and our BareMetal Recovery."
