HBA/SCSI Cards, RAID Controllers, iSCSI Initiators & Gigabit NICs
All devices on this Certification Matrix have been certified in our Interoperability Lab or within our partners' labs. FalconStor tests as many possible operating system, hardware, and software combinations as possible. Even with this extensive testing, the exact versions at your site may differ slightly from those tested. Please contact a FalconStor Certified Reseller or your local FalconStor account team if you have any questions.

Note: Due to time out restrictions on many HBAs, CDP and NSS high availability configurations require the use of the FalconStor DynaPath option.
