History
Arcserve was first developed as a product used to back up other software programs and to ensure that data in the network could not be lost. The major function of the first release was to automatically copy all of the information in the system so that mishaps such as power failures and equipment malfunctions would not destroy or erase it. During the early nineties, Arcserve became Cheyenne's flagship product with massive{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/27/falconstor_founder_dead/|title=FalconStor founder found dead|date=|publisher=Theregister.co.uk|accessdate=2012-10-04}} growth in sales. Cheyenne brought out an improved version of its core program Arcserve in 1993 and began distribution through Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
