NAS Solutions: Sabio Digital Announces Enhanced NAS With FalconStor Software For SMB And Home Office Customers

Heightened Protection of Data, Photos, Applications and More on Network-Attached PCs

Sabio Digital, a provider of storage solutions for SMB and home office customers, today announced that it has enhanced its flagship product, the Sabio CM4 network attached storage (NAS) device with FalconStor Software's DiskSafe Express software for superior on-site storage, backup and data recovery protection.

The Sabio CM4 combined with industry-leading FalconStor software is the ideal network attached storage solution for small businesses, regional offices and home office environments that need to store, share and protect digital files on multiple PCs. Sabio's CM4 utilizes RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology to deliver a reliable storage solution, allowing data to be recovered in case of a disk failure. In addition, the Sabio CM4 is more cost effective than tape, optical or online data storage because it's faster, more reliable and more flexible for recovering and restoring data.

"State regulations, improved imaging technology and the move to the paperless office have resulted in an overwhelming amount of digital information for small businesses and home office customers," said Ajay Gupta, general manager, Sabio Digital. "The Sabio CM4 provides the ideal means of storing data - it's simple to use, reliable, and cost-effective. FalconStor's DiskSafe Express software further raises the security and recovery levels of our premier NAS device to ensure superior data protection and rapid recovery for our customers."

Camberley Bates, chief marketing officer for FalconStor Software stated, "FalconStor DiskSafe Express software is the ideal complement to the Sabio CM4, as it provides a complete data storage solution that is simple to manage for small businesses without an IT staff, yet flexible enough for customers with more advanced needs. A wider range of customers are now assured easy storage protection - hourly, daily or weekly - and the fastest data recovery on the market today."

FalconStor Software Heightens Data Protection
The Sabio CM4 coupled with FalconStor's software allows users to quickly and easily store data from multiple computers for centralized storage of shared files. FalconStor's DiskSafe Express software allows for Bare Metal Recovery (BMR), a process which helps avoid an extensive rebuild after a catastrophic failure. With BMR, users can boot their PCs from the disk image stored on the CM4 in the event of disk failure for a complete recovery of their data in less than five minutes. FalconStor's DiskSafe Express software is bundled with every Sabio CM4. With this license, users can automatically backup a single Windows based PC. Additional licenses are available for purchase.

DiskSafe Express features scheduled back-ups that can be set weekly or daily. After the initial back-up of all data on the client, subsequent back-ups capture only the differential deltas, minimizing backup time. FalconStor's DiskSafe Express software protects not only users' files, but all of their applications and systems as well. Plus, DiskSafe Express automatically captures up to four of the previous hard drive images for superior data protection. In the event of a computer failure or crash, users can easily retrieve deleted or lost files by simply referring to one of the previous hard drive images.

FalconStor's complete DiskSafe software is available for an additional fee, extending data backup to near continuous data protection. The complete DiskSafe software takes snapshots of data - as many as 64 times a day, giving the user near 100 percent integrity and an easy rollback to the last clean backup. This helps avoid the lengthy re-build of complex applications such as Exchange or SQL. It's also extremely efficient to store new snapshots, as the software captures only the changed information or blocks.

VAR Program
The Sabio Digital/FalconStor Software combination is ideal for VARs who need a reliable network storage solution for their customers that's easy to install, manage and maintain. Sabio offers the CM4 with or without hard drives, so VARs can add their own to meet their customer's needs. Sabio Digital and FalconStor Software are providing VARs with the tools to help them be effective in this space. In addition to providing industry-competitive pricing, the two companies help VARs who specifically target SMB customers with marketing materials, sales support, technical training, evaluation unit pricing and streamlined order entry.

High-Performance, Flexibility and Network Ready
The Sabio CM4 is compatible with a range of networks including PC, Mac and Linux operating systems, so it's ideal for small offices utilizing a variety of operating systems such as graphics design firms, insurance agencies, medical and dental offices, accounting firms, photography studios and real estate agencies. Plus, since the Sabio CM4 is network attached storage, it's simple to add to an existing network in need of additional storage resources. It can also be expanded as future storage needs grow.

Delivering the latest industry-leading technology for uncompromised performance, the Sabio CM4 uses an Intel XScale® IOP321 processor @ 400MHz with XOR engine, which enables fast data throughput in a tightly integrated environment. The Sabio CM4 also comes standard with 16MB of flash memory and 256MB of DDR system memory that can be expanded to 512MB to accommodate more clients on the network.

The Sabio CM4 also supports SATA hard disk drives that can be set in a RAID configuration for superior data recovery protection in the event of a disk failure. The system supports RAID 0, 1, and 5 or can be used as JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) and hardware RAID acceleration from the XOR Engine provides super fast read and write capabilities.

Sabio Digital products can be purchased virtually risk free. Sabio Digital backs all its products, including the Sabio CM4, with a 30-day money back guarantee that allows customers to return a product with no questions asked. In addition, Sabio Digital storage products are backed by a three-year limited warranty. Sabio Digital provides industry-leading service and support by experienced technicians.
