FalconStor Announces Compatibility with High Performance, Scalable Storage Solutions Based on Intel® 64-Bit Processors for Windows and Linux Platforms with Compelling Price/Performance Ratio

Company's Next Generation Products Based on 64-Bit Architecture Will Increase the Number of Virtual Devices, Snapshots, and I/O Ports by a Factor of 4

STORAGE NETWORKING WORLD, PHOENIX, AZ (Booth #C15), April 12, 2005––Demonstrating its unwavering commitment in embracing ground-breaking technology, FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC), a leading developer of network storage software solutions, today announced compatibility with Intel® processors based on 64-bit extension technology. FalconStor is one of the first storage vendors to offer 64-bit versions of its software solutions for both Windows and Linux operating systems.

The first public demonstration of these new FalconStor 64-bit solutions will be during SNIA’s Storage Networking World event, scheduled for April 12th through 15th, 2005 in Phoenix, Arizona.

FalconStor 64-bit solutions and systems, which are based on Intel 64-bit processors, will be able to leverage vast amounts of RAM and processing power to significantly boost application performance and overall capacity. In addition, the company is investigating innovative ways to leverage the power of 64-bit computing in the development of new features, based on customer requirements, in future versions of its IPStor® software, iSCSI Storage Server and VirtualTape Library solutions.

The new 64-bit version of FalconStor’s IPStor technology utilizes the memory and processing power of 64-bit based processors (for NAS, caching, snapshots, encryption and compression) to deliver cost effective network storage services that are easy to deploy and administer. Within the 64-bit computing, IPStor supports four (4) times more virtual disks per system, than under the current 32-bit system, leaping from 4,000 to 16,000 virtual disks. With FalconStor’s iSCSI Storage Server for Windows Storage Server 2003 on the 64-bit platform, the performance of iSCSI targets achieves the speed of wire, equivalent to a hardware-based HBA, and I/O throughput is dramatically increased as a result of greatly improved caching capabilities.

“Porting our technology to the 64-bit platform has enabled us to address the emerging needs of corporate data centers leveraging this platform for significant performance and capacity gains in their database, messaging and business applications,” said Bernie Wu, FalconStor vice president of business development. “The customer benefits of a comprehensive set of storage services in a 64-bit computing environment are even greater than in a 32-bit environment. The Intel 64-bit processor, combined with FalconStor solutions, offers customers the best of all possible worlds, higher performance and more capacity coupled with lowered data management costs.”

With the 64-bit version of IPStor solutions, performance increases can be realized during the software compression mode. The PCI-X buses and front side bus on a 64-bit appliance take full advantage of faster 4GB PCI-x Fibre Channel (FC) HBAs, which will be supported in future FalconStor solutions. On 64-bit appliances, more FC HBAs and target ports can be installed on 133 MHz PCI-x slots, increasing the overall performance of a FalconStor 64-bit solution.

“Storage applications, such as those developed by FalconStor, are taking advantage of Intel 64-bit technology to enable storage applications with greater performance to meet expanding data center needs,” said Hans Geyer, Intel vice president and general manager, Intel Storage Group.

During internal FalconStor testing, FalconStor solutions ported to available Intel 64-bit processors enhanced I/O compression performance by as much as 40% in comparison to FalconStor solutions ported to available Intel 32-bit systems. In addition to higher performance and increased capacity, IPStor support for 64-bit based processors delivers comprehensive connectivity (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, CIFS, NAS), and provides users and businesses greater flexibility in selecting storage-to-host server connectivity, while centrally managing their SAN and NAS storage over any connectivity protocol.
