With its latest release SPHiNX represents Crossroads’ strategic direction: holistic data protection for desktops, servers and data centres. Regardless of the company size, SPHiNX offers an optimum strategy for data protection and disaster recovery in branch offices, remote offices and central data centres.
 
Faster backup and restore, complete disaster recovery capabilities and scalability aret some of the advantages offered by disk-based solution SPHiNX.
 
Backups can be streamlined for improved performance, and restores are exponentially faster than using traditional tape drives. Multiple host systems can be secured and connected to SPHiNX as a shared resource for several systems or partitions with multiple backup streams supported from any single system. With immediate access to stored data, SPHiNX drastically reduces your recovery time to meet increasing stringent RTO and RPO requirements. The user can reduce capital expenditure and operational costs by consolidating the number of tape devices and media that must be maintained.
 
With SPHiNX the user can centralise, simplify and consolidate their company’s data protection environment. Data from desktops, remote offices and branch offices are administered and managed centrally and reliably in the data centre and in the data recovery sites.
 
Designed for IBM System i (AS/400), Microsoft Windows, AIX and HP NonStop environments SPHiNX offers flexible functionality either as a networked attached storage (NAS) device, as a virtual tape drive or virtual tape library.
 
SPHiNX emulates standard tape drive and library formats to ensure compatibility with the existing backup application to leverage the assets the user already has. SPHiNX integrates with most backup applications with no disruption to current backup policies and processes. It is not necessary to install any agents or software on the host system.
 
SPHiNX scales and offers additional capacity as needed. Physical tape can be integrated into the environment for example, for the purposes of archiving or addition to capacity.
 
Further, SPHiNX offers optional encryption, replication, migration of inactive files (FileStor-HSM) and continuous data protection for desktops and laptops (FileStor-CDP).
 
"SPHiNX can be described without doubt as a holistic data protection solution," said Bernd R. Krieger, Managing Director, Crossroads Europe. "Our solution meets customer requirements on backup/restore safety, reliability and security. Further, SPHiNX accounts the specific claims in data protection within a company. With SPHiNX we cover the complete range of data protection – from desktops to servers and data centres."
