CyberLink Chooses FalconStor(R) Continuous Data Protector to Provide Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery of its Microsoft Exchange Servers

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), the provider of TOTALLY Open™ data protection solutions, today announced that CyberLink Corp., a leader and pioneer in digital multimedia on PCs and CEs, has deployed FalconStor^® Continuous Data Protector (CDP) to provide business continuity and disaster recovery of its Microsoft Exchange servers.

E-mail and collaboration are business-critical functions for CyberLink, and protecting their four Microsoft Exchange servers is a top priority and vital to the success of the company. CyberLink wanted a solution to address their challenges –data recovery taking 12 hours, with an equal amount of business downtime, and a dwindling backup window– and chose FalconStor CDP for its robust data protection capabilities.

“CyberLink’s global operations heavily rely on e-mail systems to conduct businesses and to communicate with regional offices, customers and partners worldwide,” said Joe Wang, director of IT for CyberLink. “With FalconStor CDP, in case of system failure, the entire physical Microsoft Exchange server can be recovered seamlessly over to a virtual server (physical to virtual recovery) within 10 minutes. This ensures that our daily business operations will not be affected at all.”

FalconStor CDP provides CyberLink with integrated disk mirroring, snapshots, and server virtualization technologies to provide system recovery without impacting application server performance. Application Server Disks are mirrored in a synchronous manner to recover data in minutes. Since FalconStor CDP mirror disks are bootable, physical-to-virtual recovery can be accomplished through the use of a single, virtual server to recover multiple system and application servers. The open architecture of FalconStor CDP facilitated easy integration into CyberLink’s existing IT environment, without requiring any changes.

“CyberLink is renowned as a solution provider for the connected digital lifestyle, and even a half-hour of downtime can have a serious impact on their business,” said Dr. Eric Chen, vice president and general manager, FalconStor Asia Pacific Operations. “Rapid recovery from a disaster is essential to their business, and FalconStor CDP gives them a comprehensive solution that optimizes backup and restore.”
