Winchester Systems And Falconstor Partner To Add Enterprise Class Functionality To High Performance Disk Arrays
Disk Storage Solution Provider Leverages FalconStor's IPStor Technology To Deliver Increased Connectivity and Storage Services

Melville, N.Y., and Burlington, MA, June 13, 2001 - FalconStor, Inc., a network storage infrastructure software company, today announced that Winchester Systems, a leading provider of high performance storage solutions for an organization's enterprise and mission-critical environments, has signed on as a Strategic Solution Provider. Winchester Systems will resell and implement FalconStor's award-winning IPStor solution with their high performance FlashDisk OpenRAID disk arrays and backup solutions to bring increased connectivity via IP/iSCSI, and enterprise class storage services such as active-active failover, replication, mirroring, snapshot, and fast backup/restore enablers.

"By partnering with FalconStor, Winchester Systems is now able to offer enterprise customers a full complement of 'open systems' storage management, high availability and business continuance solutions that are currently only available in proprietary products from a very limited number of storage vendors at premium prices," said Joel Leider, chief executive officer of Winchester Systems. "We found that our customers immediately recognized the benefits of the IPStor technology and wanted to move to pilot implementations right away--no other vendor has been able to do this for Winchester Systems."

After testing other solutions in the marketplace, Winchester Systems chose to work with FalconStor because IPStor provides combined IP-connectivity with essential enterprise-class storage services: virtualization, high availability, snapshot, mirroring, replication, and transparent integration with standard industry backup/recovery software. In addition, IPStor offers both block-level (SAN) and file-level (NAS) storage under a single architecture with high performance, centralized manageability, uninterrupted reliability, security, and compatibility.

"Winchester's expertise, unique industry knowledge and ability to solve problems 'out-of-the- box' as well as their track record of being intensely responsive to customers certainly makes them extremely well qualified as a Strategic Solution Provider," said Wendy Petty, FalconStor vice president of sales. "The addition of FalconStor's industry-leading software as a cornerstone of the Winchester Systems' SAN and NAS strategy should prove pivotal in enabling their enterprise clients to achieve their storage-solution objectives."

Winchester Systems joins a growing list of worldwide partners that are being enlisted by FalconStor to introduce IPStor to a wide range of business markets.
