FalconStor Software, a provider of data protection offerings, has unveiled a SSD-enhanced storage offering that increases the performance of VMware virtual desktop environments.

The company said that Network Storage Server (NSS) SAN Accelerator for VMware View performs backup and recovery for the entire virtual desktop environment and for each virtual desktop, and enables integrated self-service file recovery for individual virtual desktop users.

NSS SAN Accelerator for VMware View enhances the efficiency of virtual desktop management throughout the virtual desktop lifecycle.

It employs snapshots, thin clones, replication and file-level protection to enable a three-tier data protection service.

FalconStor chief strategy officer Jim McNiel said that they designed the NSS SAN Accelerator for VMware View to deliver the kind of storage environment that virtual desktops require – improving performance and data protection in one elegant offering.
