Crossroads Systems is a global provider of solutions and services that ensure stored data is proactively protected andreliably recovered. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Crossroads holds more than 100 patents granted and pending and has been honored with numerous industry awards for innovation in data protection and storage.
Strongbox, Crossroads’ newest solution, shatters perceptions and unchains the possibilities of how to manage long-term, scalable storage of unstructured data. Designed to address the need for a low cost and highly reliable active archive, StrongBox presents itself as traditional network-attached storage (NAS) while leveraging the new Linear Tape File System (LTFS). Serving as an online-all-the-time, file-based data archive that combines high-capacity LTFS tape storage with disk storage, StrongBox provides organizations with a fast, cost effective, and always accessible data vault that meets regulatory compliance requirements. And the best part… it’s non-proprietary

WhipTail Tech’s XLR8r takes full advantage of the promise of a solid-state based storage medium, in this case MLC flash, thus allowing the XLR8r to be the first cost-effective enterprise-class storage array to be accepted by the marketplace. Not a caching appliance or PCIe card, the XLR8r is highly tuned for low latency, high IO environments such as VDI, databases and Exchange via its proprietary Racerunner Operating System (RROS). This OS also removes another of the challenges of solid-state in general – wear endurance. It extends the otherwise minimal lifetime of the flash drives to beyond 7.5 years while optimizing the underlying flash architecture. Offering real-world performance numbers of 250,000 IOPS with a jaw-dropping 0.1 MS of latency, the XLR8r is purpose-built – its underlying technology completely “de-coupled” from all previous attempts at solving that fundamental IT issue: IOs. Disk is dead.
WhipTail is positioned 2,916 miles east of Silicon Valley in the seasonally sunny Whippany, N.J. Additional information may be found on the company’s website: www.whiptailtech.com.
