 IBM Advanced Partner Solution : FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector™ (CDP)

FalconStor CDP, built upon the FalconStor IPStor® storage virtualization platform, enhances the traditional data protection paradigm (once-a-day backups) with ongoing, real-time, disk-based backup, for fast, granular recovery to any point in time. 

FalconStor CDP eliminates dependency on the backup window by providing continuous disk-based backup of file servers, databases, email systems, etc. Through FalconStor DiskSafe™ or any industry-standard host-based volume manager, FalconStor CDP continuously captures and stores block-level changes to the primary data, enabling recovery to any point in time. Data can then be securely replicated offsite for enhanced DR protection. Snapshots plus continuous journaling, with 100% transactional integrity. 

FalconStor TimeMark® snapshot technology and application-aware Snapshot Agents provide transactionally consistent, space-efficient delta snapshots at regularly scheduled times. The snapshots can be mounted by storage administrators to validate the content; perform file, email, and database recovery; and accelerate backup via the FalconStor HyperTrac™ Backup Accelerator. 

By combining FalconStor’s CDP technology with IBM®’s Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files (CDP), this solution brings powerful data protection technology to the end-user desktop or laptop. This sideband or offhost CDP solution offers both block-level and file-level protection of data that resides anywhere throughout an organization.
