The FalconStor® NSS Virtual Appliance for VMware Infrastructure provides a cost-effective, feature rich virtual SAN solution for small and medium businesses (SMB) and remote/branch offices (ROBO). Deployed as a pre-built, pre-configured, TOTALLY Open™ and ready-to-run software application packaged with an operating system in a virtual machine, the FalconStor NSS Virtual Appliance brings intelligent storage virtualization and a virtual SAN within reach of any organization.
The FalconStor NSS Virtual Appliance creates a virtual SAN on a VMware ESX server by turning internal or direct attached disk resources into a shareable pool of storage. Storage can be provisioned and securely allocated via the iSCSI protocol.

By consolidating all the elements of a shared storage environment into a single server, the FalconStor NSS Virtual Appliance provides a cost effective solution for delivering highly available shared storage to a VMware ESX environment.
