Server Hardware
FalconStor certifies and supports many types of server hardware for its software solutions. To help make deployments easier, FalconStor EZStart was developed for widely-used hardware. FalconStor EZStart enables partners and customers to quickly create turnkey appliances using certified off-the-shelf hardware.

FalconStor Web Setup allows users to easily set up and configure an appliance, including adding product license keycodes, modifying network settings, installing host-based applications, viewing documentation, and setting protection/replication policies.

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.

* Certification Levels:
L4 - Preferred Hardware - Fully certified by FalconStor’s certification team with the latest GA product version, L4 hardware has passed a full suite of functionality and stress tests and is certified with FalconStor EZStart version 2.3.34 and Web Setup. An EZStart USB image is available for installation. The EZStart image contains all required hardware management tools to send Email Alerts for hardware related failures and warnings. Power control is also integrated via IPMI or iLO. For storage servers (with internal storage), the EZStart process performs all steps necessary to prepare the hardware as a turnkey appliance.
L3 - Fully certified for functionality and performance by FalconStor’s certification team, L3 hardware has passed a full suite of functionality and stress tests and is certified with FalconStor EZStart and Web Setup. An EZStart USB image is available but may not have full integration with server hardware.
L2 - Limited certification by FalconStor’s certification team, L2 hardware is verified with FalconStor EZStart and Web Setup. FalconStor has performed basic testing of this device, including feature functionality and advanced failure conditions. Most configurations are supported.
L1 - Not certified by FalconStor’s certification team but known to work with FalconStor solutions, including the use of the EZStart USB image. Web Setup can be used.
Partner Certified – Certified by a FalconStor partner and sold and supported as part of the partner’s solution.

All equipment is certified as of the date it was added to this matrix. FalconStor is not responsible for any operational problems resulting from modifications made by the equipment manufacturer after the equipment was certified. This list is subject to change at any time without notice. Different FalconStor products can use the same model appliance, but may have different hardware requirements (such as amount of RAM, number of drives, etc.). Contact FalconStor directly for a detailed Bill of Materials for each L4 product/model combination.
