Cooper Turbocompressor Deploys FalconStor's Network Storage Infrastructure To Consolidate Storage and Maximize Business Continuity.Business and Technology Editors MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2002 IPStor Offers Highly Available, Secure And Cost-Effective Network Storage Services To Support Cooper Turbocompressor's Mission-Critical Applications FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC FALC Frame And Line Interface Component (electrical engineering) FALC French and African Language and Culture Center ), a leading provider of network storage infrastructure software, today announced that Cooper Turbocompressor (CTC CTC - Cornell Theory Center ), a leading manufacturer of oil-free centrifugal compressors, has selected and deployed FalconStor's IPStor solution to ensure the reliability, 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. and cost efficiency of its storage infrastructure. Its Notes Domino, NT and other mission-critical servers are now built on IPStor to leverage its enterprise storage services. Cooper Turbocompressor, a division of Cooper Cameron Corporation (CCC CCC A very speculative grade assigned to a debt obligation by a rating agency. Such a rating indicates default or considerable doubt that interest will be paid or principal repaid. Also called Caa. ), needed to move from a direct-attached storage Direct-attached storage (DAS) refers to a digital storage system directly attached to a server or workstation, without a storage network in between. It is a retronym, mainly used to differentiate non-networked storage from SAN and NAS. to a network-attached storage See NAS. environment. CTC had to migrate their NT and Notes Domino servers to a NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular infrastructure, and was searching for a robust storage solution that could consolidate their storage hardware, leverage data availability by aggregating and provisioning storage capacity, and provide high availability and complete transactional integrity. After considering other solutions, CTC decided to implement IPStor, leveraging the product's storage services such as Synchronous Mirroring, Snapshot Copy, and Zero-Impact Backup. "The versatility of FalconStor's solution unlocks the value of our information assets in ways that were not previously possible. IPStor's ability to give us centralized storage management and storage services are key benefits, protecting CTC's critical Notes data in our migration to an Exchange environment," said Jerry Martindale, System Administrator of Cooper Turbocompressor. "Interoperating with other storage vendor's hardware also helped make Cooper Turbocompressor's transition to an IPStor-based storage infrastructure virtually seamless." Cooper Turbocompressor's NAS environment includes IPStor working in conjunction with Extreme Networks switches, SysConnect adapters, and StorageTek D173 storage array. The collaborative efforts from FalconStor, StorageTek, SysConnect and Extreme Networks helped CTC reduce the complexity and costs of managing their growing and more widely accessed information infrastructure.
