"Our goal is to isolate enterprise network best practices, and apply them to a general data protection and high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. model for remote data backup and disaster recovery via the Internet." CNIC, CAS intends to leverage FalconStor's PrimeVault Data Protection services to backup data and for use as a storage platform throughout China as well as outside its borders. This will allow Chinese government agencies and enterprises to quickly launch remote data backup and remote disaster recovery networks, providing more efficient data protection and access to important data even in the event of a disaster. The partnership includes the creation of a Research and Development (R&D) laboratory to host the FalconStor Primevault Platform for research on the feasibility of Internet communications-based protection of enterprise data, remote data backup and remote disaster recovery. The laboratory will work with FalconStor to develop an Internet-based high availability data backup and storage platform for China. The platform would be made available to government departments and enterprises in China and provide an Internet backbone (communications, networking) Internet backbone - High-speed networks that carry Internet traffic.
