Qualstar to Offer Crossroads ReadVerify Appliance

With the ArchiveVerify feature alongside libraries

Crossroads Systems, Inc. announced that Qualstar Corporation, a manufacturer of tape library systems, will offer the Crossroads ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) with the ArchiveVerify (AV) feature alongside its time-tested library systems.

The partnership expands on the cooperation between the two companies that began in late 2012 when Crossroads announced StrongBox interoperability with Qualstar tape libraries.

Qualstar will offer its tape library customers the Crossroads RVA and AV solution set, which is designed to slash long-term storage expenses and simplify data management, access and protection.

Qualstar’s libraries provide economical storage for long-term data while RVA validates the integrity of tape backup systems through either a standalone or virtual appliance. Reducing tape replacement costs and guaranteeing that data is always recoverable, RVA provides organizations with a tool to monitor, track and report on the performance, utilization and health of tape devices and media. By continually diagnosing operational backup errors, organizations that deploy the Qualstar-Crossroads joint solution experience performance improvements and cost savings.

Additionally, ArchiveVerify, an optional feature for automated reliability checks, verifies the readability of data and enables predictive failure analysis based on robust user-defined policies – a capability that helps fulfill requirements for SLAs and regulatory compliance.

Working with a highly-respected partner such as Qualstar allows Crossroads to expand the presence of its RVA solution and help organizations gain greater peace of mind surrounding their data archives,” said Richard K. Coleman, Jr., president and CEO, Crossroads. “Our Qualstar partnership underscores Crossroads’ strength in providing innovative solutions to exploding data growth.

Establishing visibility for potential failure information allows organizations to maximize their existing tape by taking preventive measures to avoid unplanned downtime or data loss, which results in substantial IT savings and proven ROI,” said Steven N. Bronson, Qualstar’s CEO. “By adding the Crossroad ReadVerify Appliance with ArchiveVerify feature as an option for Qualstar customers, we are providing an additional easy-to-use means to protect their data.
