<h4>Network-attached Data Deduplication Solution Minimizes Storage Capacity and Costs</h4>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<h4>FalconStor FDS delivers edge-to-core data protection</h4>
<p>FalconStor<strong>®</strong> File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) is a LAN-based deduplication solution that is ideal for small-to-medium businesses (SMB) and remote office (ROBO) environments. Easy to deploy and manage, this deduplication solution reduces storage capacity by as much as 95% and is certified with all leading backup and archiving applications. FalconStor FDS also delivers a scalable, highly available architecture for the enterprise by sharing a global deduplication repository with FalconStor® Virtual Tape Library (VTL). FalconStor FDS provides multi-application data protection and deduplication at the remote office, and WAN-optimized replication to a scalable, shared deduplication repository at the data center.</p>
<h4>Performance and specifications</h4>
<p>Offering both post-processing and concurrent block-level deduplication, FalconStor FDS is optimized for high-performance data ingest of up to 1500 MB/s (5.4 TB/hr) for CIFS/NFS.</p>
<p>In addition, FalconStor FDS is a scalable, high availability (HA), global deduplication solution that provides up to 1PB of usable repository in a file (CIFS/NFS/OST) configuration. The FalconStor FDS/SIR Cluster configuration can support up to 8 FalconStor FDS nodes (4 HA pairs) and a 4+1 deduplication cluster.</p>
<h4>Your business can benefit from flexible global deduplication</h4>
<p>FalconStor FDS is the only scheduled, flexible, policy-based NFS/CIFS data deduplication solution available today. Through a centralized management GUI, users can define policies such as concurrent or post-process deduplication as well as exclude whole directories or files based on type, size, or last modified. These policies can be applied to deduplication, replication, and data integrity monitoring based on application and business needs, for maximum flexibility.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>With traditional methods of application mobilization, projects can take years, cost millions – and often end up being abandoned. Kapow Mobile Katalyst changes the game, enabling you to mobilize any business app as much as 10x faster and 90% cheaper.</strong></p>
<p>Kapow Mobile Katalyst enables the rapid mobilization of existing packaged or proprietary business applications, whether they have APIs or not. It is built on Kapow Katalyst™, the leading enterprise cloud and application integration platform proven and trusted by more than 500 customers. The unique power of Kapow Katalyst is the ability to extract, transform, integrate and migrate data without requiring application programming interfaces (APIs). This enables you to perform enterprise mobilization projects with <strong>Kapow Mobile Katalyst</strong>, fast, easily, cost-effectively. Projects that were once abandoned as too lengthy, expensive and disruptive now can go from idea to launch 10x faster and 90% cheaper with Kapow Software.</p>
<h3>Fast track to mobility as a competitive advantage</h3>
<p>The world is going mobile – in fact, nearly 80% of us are already there, using over 5.3 billion mobile phone subscriptions globally. Business is behind the curve on this one, according to Forrester: &#8220;A majority of companies either do not have a mobile strategy or are only just starting to build one. Forrester believes that they must integrate mobile as part of their overall corporate strategy as a matter of some urgency.&#8221;<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>One of the hold-ups for business is the huge challenge of mobilizing existing apps, especially ones that have been around a while, were modified over time, and now have no &#8220;mobile ready&#8221; web service API. The problem is that most business apps lack APIs that expose the data and business logic you want to deliver to mobile devices. Adding a service-level interface to a legacy app is a complex development project requiring an extensive rewrite – including years of planning, coding, testing, spending, disrupting and, too often, abandoning. <strong>Kapow Mobile Katalyst</strong> changes the game by letting you repurpose existing apps as mobile apps, leaving the underlying systems untouched.</p>
<div id="attachment_521" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 314px"><a href="http://saleempc.com/TechnicalConsultant/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kapow1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-521" title="Kapow Mobile Katalyst™" src="http://saleempc.com/TechnicalConsultant/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kapow1.png" alt="Kapow Mobile Katalyst™" width="304" height="181" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kapow Mobile Katalyst™</p></div>
<p>The picture illustrates the challenge. Just to be clear, we are not a Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP). MEAPs are development frameworks to create the front-end for mobile apps for specific handsets and OSes. But first, before that can happen, you need to solve for &#8220;X&#8221;. The red X represents the data and functionality from the existing app that you want to provide in real time to mobile users. How do you get that out of the old app and ready to be tailored for the front end to the appropriate mobile form factor? That&#8217;s the sticking point with traditional approaches when there&#8217;s no API. Enter Kapow Software.</p>
<div id="attachment_522" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 314px"><a href="http://saleempc.com/TechnicalConsultant/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kapow2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-522" title="Kapow Mobile Katalyst™" src="http://saleempc.com/TechnicalConsultant/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kapow2.png" alt="Kapow Mobile Katalyst™" width="304" height="181" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kapow Mobile Katalyst™</p></div>
<p>With <strong>Kapow Mobile Katalyst</strong>, essentially, you create a new web service interface &#8220;wrapper&#8221; without re-writing any of the existing code. The solution combines an application integration platform, a visual flow-chart development environment, a purpose-built integration browser and a collaboration platform to give you easy-to-use tools for extending any existing B2E and B2C business application to the mobile platform. With Kapow, instead of writing APIs you visually build flow-charts and data mappings to control the app&#8217;s business logic through its existing web interface, then deploy the mobilized app with one click into a production environment. Projects that took months or years are now possible in weeks or days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Silver Peak provides a robust WAN optimization solution that addresses the bandwidth, latency, and packet loss issues that are common to most enterprise environments. Silver Peak&#8217;s optimization techniques are all performed in real-time and primarily at the network (IP) layer to ensure maximum performance across the widest range of applications and WAN environments.</p>
<p>Silver Peak appliances leverage the following Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA) technology components to accelerate all enterprises applications in a secure and reliable fashion:</p>
<p><strong>Network Memory:</strong><strong> </strong>Silver Peak&#8217;s patent-pending solution for disk based WAN deduplication. Network Memory inspects all traffic that is sent between clients and servers, storing information as a local instance in Silver Peak appliances. Repetitive information is delivered locally rather than sent across the WAN, improving application performance and WAN utilization. Cross-flow payload and header compression provide additional gains on first-time data transfers and non-repetitive traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Network Integrity</strong>: Silver Peak employs a variety of real-time techniques to address packet delivery issues common to shared WAN technologies, such as MPLS and IP VPN. These include adaptive Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Packet Order Correction (POC) to overcome dropped and out-of-order packets, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) techniques to prioritize traffic and guarantee network resources.</p>
<p><strong>Network Acceleration:</strong><strong> </strong>Silver Peak mitigates the impacts of latency across the WAN by using various TCP acceleration techniques, like adjustable window sizing and selective acknowledgements, as well as CIFS acceleration techniques, such as read-aheads and write-behinds. These tools help to overcome inherent chattiness that can otherwise hamper application performance across a WAN</p>
<p><strong>Secure Content Architecture™:</strong><strong> </strong>Silver Peak keeps enterprise data secure with its Secure Content Architecture. All NX appliances are equipped with hardware based AES encryption to protect local data stores. Optional IPsec keeps content safe when it traverses the WAN. Intelligent security policies can be established for granular control of WAN traffic.</p>
<p>Are you struggling with how to deliver applications to distributed locations or hot to protect data across the WAN? Do you want a way to centralize branch office infrastructure, but are limited by the performance of your WAN? Have you tried compression and/or Quality of Service (QoS) techniques, but still are not getting the results you desire? Are you disappointed with acceleration products that only work on a specific application, and require significant investment in time and resources to deploy and keep current?</p>
<div id="attachment_476" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 385px"><a href="http://saleempc.com/TechnicalConsultant/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/SP.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-476" title="Silver Peak Data Center Class WAN Optimization" src="http://saleempc.com/TechnicalConsultant/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/SP.png" alt="Silver Peak Data Center Class WAN Optimization" width="375" height="294" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Silver Peak Data Center Class WAN Optimization</p></div>
<p>Silver Peak has the answer. By using the latest in WAN acceleration technology, the Silver Peak solution provides the following tangible business benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Improve application performance</strong>. Applications are no longer subject to the bandwidth and latency issues inherent to WANs.</li>
<li><strong>Increase employee productivity</strong>. Better application response time makes end users more productive.</li>
<li><strong>Reduce server hardware costs</strong>. Branch office servers and storage can be eliminated as infrastructure is centralized within a data center. In addition, enterprises do not have to pay additional facility and environmental costs to house servers at remote facilities.</li>
<li><strong>Minimize</strong><strong> </strong><strong>software licensing costs</strong>. Reducing the amount of application servers can minimize licensing costs in some application pricing models.</li>
<li><strong>Decrease WAN expenditures</strong>. When information is localized, less traffic traverses the WAN. This maximizes bandwidth utilization, which minimizes WAN costs.</li>
<li><strong>Lower IT support costs</strong>. Server centralization minimizes the need for onsite technical support staff in remote offices, and reduces travel costs to these facilities.</li>
<li><strong>Maximize security and data protection</strong>. Enterprise data is best protected when servers are placed in a data center with proper security precautions and environmental protections.</li>
<li><strong>Facilitate compliance</strong>. IT staff can better audit servers to ensure that they are properly configured in a centralized environment.</li>
<li><strong>Improve disaster recovery</strong>. It is easier to enforce server backups and ensure proper data storage and retrieval when branch office infrastructure is centrally controlled and managed.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Silver Peak solution was designed from the ground up to support a wide variety of business-critical applications in a secure, scalable, and reliable manner. Specific technology features of the Silver Peak solution, and the associated enterprise benefits that they provide, include:</p>
