This horizontal flow is accomplished through FreeStor’s Intelligent Abstraction core. The Intelligent Abstraction core allows data in all of its forms to migrate across all platforms by optimizing the storage resources into a storage resource pool.
The OpenStack Foundation is made of thousands of individual members to promote the development, distribution, and adoption of the OpenStack cloud operating system. Backed by more than 500 participating organizations, OpenStack is a massively scalable, open source cloud operating system that is on the verge of becoming the industry standard for public and private clouds. Combining FalconStor’s and OpenStack’s technologies will enable organizations to move data protection operations to the cloud, deliver efficient backup and disaster recovery, and help drive service-oriented data protection.
