1 CDP Competitive analysis of FalconStor CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE

2 FalconStor At-A-Glance  Founded in Feb. 2000 by Veterans of Cheyenne Software which was acquired by CA for $1.2B in 1996  Headquartered in Melville, New York  ~300 (US/Asia/Europe) employees  Global Sales and Support Infrastructure (15 in-country offices)  Providing Network Storage Software for Availability and Recovery of Business Data  Targeting Enterprise and SMB market  Over 2,000 Active Customers  Technology OEMed by Major Storage Vendors and Solution and Service oriented VARs or SIs

3 FalconStor Business Model  CDP Software only offering – enable VAR’s to formulate their own integrated storage appliances solution using “CDP Virtual Appliance” software.  Turnkey Appliance offering  Network Storage Server (NSS)  Continuous Data Protection (CDP)  Virtual Tape Library (VTL)  Offsite DR Services  PriveVault SM

4 FalconStor Technology  FalconStor CDP Appliance / Virtual Applaince  Provides continuous disk-based backup of file servers, databases, email systems, etc.  FalconStor NSS Appliance  Creates a SAN/NAS infrastructure for deployment of networked storage with data protection capabilities  Virtual Tape Library  Software sees the disk as a multiple tape drives with multiple tape media  Gateway Appliance  Can be CDP, NSS or VTL  Connect to and used existing external storage infrastructure via IP/FC-SAN

5 FalconStor Technology - CDP Appliance  Performs Continuous or Periodic Protection  Can perform recovery from last saved or snapshot  TimeMark (snapshots)  CDP-S4 – 64 Snaps (3 days @ 1hr intervals)  CDP-S6 – 255 Snaps (10 days @ 1hr intervals)  Recovery  User or Administrative recovery  Bare Metal Recovery via TimeMark snapshot image  Boot from SAN system state recovery  Offsite Replication for disaster recovery

6 FalconStor Technology – SW Options  FileSafe™ Agent  Protects servers, desktop and laptop by replicating files and folders  DiskSafe™ Agent  Protects servers, desktop and laptop by replicating their entire disk(s) to IPStor-managed storage  for automated data protection, off-site data storage, backup, and disaster recovery.  Application-Aware Snapshot Agents  on-demand creation of full, point-in-time snapshot of databases  Mirroring and Replication option  Synchronous or Asynchronous  Full/delta copy of data from primary to secondary appliance

7 FalconStor Technology – SW Options  MicroScan ™  Data-duplication feature to reduces amount of data transfer during replication  Compression & Encryption included  Storage Thin Provisioning  Can dynamically allocate physical storage space on an as-needed basis to a particular LUN  LUN size can be up to 16TB  DynaPath® Agent  Performs failover and fail-back services for the application server maintaining availability by re-routing I/O path between storage and the application server fails.  IP Trunking Option  Allows traffic across multiple NICs  Enable auto re-routed to other NICs when fault is detected

10 FalconStor CDP-S6 vs CDP 6080 MSRP Comparison

11 FalconStor CDP-S4 vs CDP 5040 MSRP Comparison

12 FalconStor Disadvantages  Comprehensive offering but “Not an all-in-one solution” - can be difficult to configure  Deployment can be complex – may require residence IT expert with require vendor training  Professional Installation may be necessary  User training can be very costly  Optional client agent is require for every specific task  Requires “DiskSafe” and/or “FileSafe” agent software on every application servers and PCs that are being protected  Requires application-aware Snap Shot to interface with TimeMark for each application that are being backup  Mirroring and/or Replication for Site-to-Site or Offsite Disaster Recovery  Combined add-on options for CDP or NSS for a typical SMB environment could become extremely expensive
