Build a new storage network or build intelligence into your current one

For the most effective management of mission-critical data possible, IPStor software provides an intelligent open infrastructure platform on top of standard server and storage hardware to...

• Build a robust new Fibre Channel- or IP-based SAN and/or NAS environment
• Upgrade an existing SAN - Add intelligence with enterprise class storage services and expand its functionality with NAS

IPStor's flexible design offers unprecedented freedom when architecting networked storage environments. You can pool your storage resources or choose IPStor's Storage Service Enabler option to add enterprise class storage services to new or existing SANs without copying and virtualizing existing data. Either way, your storage network will profit from centralized, simplified management and the benefits of IPStor's advanced storage services.

IPStor offers enterprises an easy way to purchase, implement, support, and upgrade new or existing enterprise SANs, while comprehensively containing the costs associated with the management of storage and ownership of storage solutions for all applications (databases, messaging, blade servers, web servers, etc.).

Enterprise Class Storage Services...at your fingertips

Storage services are the "killer-apps" of storage networking. Without them, a SAN simply cannot deliver its potential. The best place to deliver storage services is at the network level, for maximum return on investment (ROI) and lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO).

IPStor provides your enterprise applications with the widest array of the most advanced storage services - so that your mission-critical data is always available, quickly accessible, and easily recoverable with point-in-time integrity in the event of anything from small mishaps to major disasters. And FalconStor's software builds intelligence into the network by putting IPStor storage services seamlessly into the network for maximum efficacy and efficiency.
