and Crossroads
Systems
Inc .
announced a partnership combining the Moonwalk enterprise
data management software with Crossroads’ StrongBox archive solution.

"Enterprises now have
access to an affordable and future-proof data management solution,
leveraging the advantages of Crossroads’ StrongBox, significantly
reducing the total cost of storage ownership"

Moonwalk and Crossroads customers
can now migrate unstructured data from file servers and NAS
appliances to the StrongBox platform. The solution ensures storage
scalability and cost efficiency across the enterprise and provides
customers a long-term solution for data retention.

Moonwalk’s software delivers file
system metadata-level precision for data. It proactively migrates,
copies and moves data according to user-defined rules and policies
based on criteria such as age, size, file type, file name, file
creator and many more. Its stateless architecture requires no
additional overhead and is transparent to users and applications,
with no introduced points of potential failure to ensure maximum
performance and availability.

StrongBox is a non-proprietary,
file-based and portable storage solution for long-term data
retention. The enterprise solution leverages LTFS technology,
combining the scalability of tape with the speed and
accessibility of disk. It is a cost-effective answer to
growing data storage requirements.

"The StrongBox platform
provides customers with the ability to efficiently manage long term
file data storage," said David Cerf, EVP of business and
corporate development at Crossroads. "Our Partnership with
Moonwalk provides customers with the operational efficiency of
StrongBox – with the power of Moonwalk’s data management software."
