FalconStor Adds Predictive Analytics to Storage Platform

FalconStor recently announced enhancements to FreeStor, the company’s flagship solution, that include the introduction of Predictive Analytics that uniquely offer insights across heterogeneous storage environments. This upgrade allows users to take action as they see fit in order to better manage and monitor vital business data end-to-end. FreeStor is a software-designed storage platform that gives users the tools to migrate, recover, protect, and deduplicate data inside or out of the cloud without committing their organization to specific hardware or networks.

The Intelligent Abstraction Layer inside FreeStor enables the free flow of data and common services between the front and back end, regardless of the environment or location. Intelligent Abstraction virtualizes both existing and future storage for a more efficient infrastructure. FreeStor’s new Intelligent Predictive Analytics provides real-time and historical analysis across storage systems to better manage capacity, performance and availability. By combining the Intelligent Abstraction with Predictive Analytics, customers are now able to take action based on real-time information, helping to maintain and optimize their storage environments from a single pane regardless of storage vendor location.

The newest version of FreeStor includes the following enhancements:

• Centralized monitoring, analytics, reporting and provisioning across multiple storage servers
• New management GUI which simplifies storage management and improves usability
• Historical and real-time trends and reports for performance, health and inventory
• Service-level monitoring through proactive and reactive smart rules and alerts
• Personalized, highly customizable dashboards for flexibility among storage administrators
• iPhone and Android applications

FalconStor’s President and CEO Gary Quinn concludes: “Now is the time for a new, comprehensive approach to overcoming the real-world infrastructure and data management challenges facing enterprises, MSPs and CSPs today. FreeStor’s Intelligent Abstraction makes current and future storage more efficient and available, allowing users to better manage capacity, performance, and availability across the entire infrastructure.  Combined with FreeStor’s protection, deduplication, recovery and migration capabilities, users can take intelligent action to optimize and maintain their storage environments from a single dashboard, regardless of storage vendor or location.  We believe these abilities make FreeStor the best business option for IT departments looking to regain control of their data and the costs associated with managing and storing it.”
