"We are thrilled to welcome Chuck to our executive management team as a key driver of strategic growth," said Ellie Nazemoff, CEO and President of Acolyst.

"I am excited for the opportunity to bring FalconStor's strong storage offerings to solution providers at a time when green IT solutions are needed more than ever. FalconStor's portfolio meets immediate government service level agreement (SLA) requirements and can be deployed rapidly to support the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, Continuity of Operations, and Disaster Recovery mandates. Plus, FalconStor's technology has the unique ability to address data migration, storage capacity, and virtualization needs, while reducing floor space requirements, power and cooling by 97 percent. Not only does this help with performance, but also lowers the cost of data center hardware, software, and operations," said Corjay.
Corjay was named to Federal Computer Week's (FCW) Federal 100 list of leaders who have had a positive impact on federal information technology practices. Additionally, he currently serves as the Chairman of the Board for the Armed Forces Electronic Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) NOVA Chapter.
