Mt. Laurel, NJ - Talon Storage Solutions announces the Talon FAST™ Subscription delivery model. The Talon FAST™ solution is now available as an Annual Software Subscription allowing SME’s to recognize the purchase as an operating expense.

Talon FAST™ is considered the best-in-class Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) CIFS optimization product in the industry allowing true branch office storage consolidation.

Talon Storage understands that today’s IT services must be more efficient, responsive to customer needs and delivered without degrading user experience. Success of any Branch Office IT infrastructure project depends on the competitiveness and performance of vendors’ services. The ability to provide a rapid return on investment with a low TCO is imperative in today’s IT environments.

“As enterprises have become dependent on the WAN, branch office storage optimization has become a necessity rather than a nice to have. In response to today’s economic conditions, we have strived to make our solution more affordable,” explains Shirish Phatak, CTO of Talon Storage Solutions. “Not only are we staying ahead of competitive alternatives with our technology, we are also pushing the development of Software as a Service forward with our unique licensing model in order to achieve the price points and scalability required by organizations today.”

“Our goal is to ensure superior Microsoft based application performance to distributed business environments making the workforce, and therefore the business, more productive. As IT directors are increasingly looking to ‘do more with less’, the enhanced scalability and measurable ROI benefits of our ‘branch office in a box’ solutions provide a compelling solution to managing business productivity in key IT initiatives such as mobile workforce, virtualization of the edge and server consolidation without boundaries,” Phatak concluded.

TRAC Research’s VP Cloud and Infrastructure, Michael Cucchi explained, “Our recent research shows that 42% more end-user organizations are looking to leverage optimization and acceleration capabilities as a service, as compared to hardware deployments. Talon, providing this option for their file and object optimization solution, delivers their capabilities in a model that resonates with today’s enterprises. This approach also simplifies the deployment process of these capabilities, while reducing total cost of ownership."
