Switches, Hubs, Routers, and Bridges
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.

Unless stated otherwise, listed devices have been core-certified for all FalconStor products (CDP, FDS, NSS, SIR, and VTL).
