ACS is using FalconStor's CDP. The INI Group interviewed Paulus Gan, storage architect. This is how Paulus describes his role:

“My role in the company is the storage architect. The storage group handles storage and backup. My role as the architect is to look for new products, new technology that will make our company more competitive. My other role is also to be the architect to support our salespeople when we go out to proposing something to a big company. My role is to figure out what's the best way to decide in what will reduce the complexity and reduce costs. I’ve been with ACS four and a half years now and I’ve been in IT probably 27 years.”

The following is an overview of ACS’ IT environment:

• Business process, outsourcing and IT services
• Fifteen petabytes of storage 
• Fifteen managed data centers in the US and globally
