MELVILLE, N.Y. -- FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:FALC)

iSCSI Solution Offers Unified Storage Services for Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003, Optimizing the Storage, Protection and Availability of E-Mail and Database Applications

Strengthening its commitment to supporting the Windows platform,, FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC), a leading developer of network storage software solutions, today announced the next generation of its iSCSI Storage Server software solution built on Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003, providing comprehensive disaster recovery, superior disk-based backup and rapid data restore to Windows customers.

"The FalconStor iSCSI Storage Server performed exactly as promised. As one of the largest fire protection engineering firms in the world, we fully recognize the value of reliable protection, especially for our business critical data and applications," said Ron Proctor, IT director, TVA Fire & Safety in San Diego, CA. "We are especially looking forward to the enhanced replication services FalconStor has developed in the new version, which will enable us to implement an all-inclusive disaster recovery strategy."

FalconStor's iSCSI Storage Server for Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 also offers a new level of disaster recovery, via IP-based delta replication of an application host's mission-critical data, from a primary site to a remote site over IP in a peer-to-peer or many-to-one configuration, based on policy. The iSCSI Storage Server also protects host-based systems and user workstations via replication of local files and directories, as well as mirroring an entire local disk to an iSCSI server-managed disk for automated off-site data storage backup and disaster recovery.

"FalconStor's iSCSI Storage Server, combined with Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003, will help businesses of all sizes do more with less across the Windows Server System, from replication to consolidating storage for their Windows application servers," said Claude Lorenson, technical product manager, Windows Server Division at Microsoft Corp. "With this next generation iSCSI Storage Server, FalconStor continues to demonstrate its dedication to addressing the storage needs of Windows customers through networked storage on the Windows platform."

FalconStor is one of the first companies to recognize the real world business advantages associated with iSCSI, and continues to develop cost effective, innovative software designed to reduce the overall complexities and costs associated with a dynamic storage environment, while also developing solutions that take full advantage of the inherent manageability of Storage Server 2003.
