RSA Conference 2007

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crossroads Systems, Inc. (OTCBB Pink Sheets: CRDS.PK), a leading provider of Business Information Assurance (BIA) solutions, today announced its participation at RSA Conference 2007 in San Francisco, California February 5-9. Located at Booth 542 in the Moscone Center, Crossroads will highlight four key BIA products, including DBProtector, HP’s Virtual TapeServer (VTS), ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) and TapeSentry.

Recognized as the premier international event for security technology, RSA Conference 2007 attracts more than 300 organizations to demonstrate their new solutions for a wide variety of vendors, end-user customers, analysts and journalists. Armed with a significant new line of unique BIA products, Crossroads will demonstrate new BIA solutions designed to ensure the accessibility, resiliency and security of business-critical data.

DBProtector

DBProtector™ is a database security appliance designed to stop “authorized” misuse of critical information through policy-based intrusion detection, prevention, and compliance auditing. It is a high-performance, standalone, enterprise-class solution that in real time inspects database activity, enforces security policies, alerts on suspicious activities, and captures audit trails for electronic discovery, forensic analysis, and compliance reporting. As a non-intrusive network appliance, it puts proactive control in the hands of security managers. DBProtector fortifies regulatory compliance through an intelligent policy engine, automated audit reporting and forensic capabilities. The capability to enforce business-level security policies gives security managers the ability to answer who, what, when, where and how information is or was accessed.

Virtual TapeServer (VTS)

A fully-integrated virtual tape hardware and software solution, HP VTS is specifically designed and fully-qualified for HP NonStop server customers. VTS delivers reliable, scalable and high-performance virtual tape for backup and restore, HP NonStop Transaction Monitoring Facility (NonStop TMF) Software, as well as archive and disaster recovery operations. Not limited to HP NonStop servers, HP Virtual TapeServer also simultaneously supports numerous other systems, including HP-UX, HP OpenVMS, IBM AIX, IBM OS/400, Unisys MCP, Sun Solaris, Linux® and Microsoft® Windows® systems. VTS is sold and supported by HP’s NonStop Enterprise Division on an OEM basis and stands as the only virtual tape product certified for use on the HP NonStop platform.

ReadVerify Appliance (RVA)

RVA, a stand-alone appliance that monitors and verifies readability of data written to tape, provides advanced management features such as tape and drive performance and utilization analysis, tape media and drive statistical data logging, as well as automated reports and alert functionality. RVA validates the integrity of the drive and media system while providing the ability for administrators to trend drive performance, utilization and tape media degradation over time, enabling companies to proactively manage their tape media – resulting in increased backup reliability, maximum tape media usage and overall cost savings.

Crossroads TapeSentry

Crossroads TapeSentry delivers maximum security to stored data on tape media. As a high-performance, standalone, enterprise-class appliance, TapeSentry, provides front side compression and robust encryption at wire-level speed, with zero impact on the network, server or existing backup infrastructure. TapeSentry provides industry standard encryption algorithms, crypto-signed logging, and robust key management to satisfy regulatory requirements and protect stored data from unauthorized data access, theft, accidental misplacement or loss.

“RSA Conference 2007 presents Crossroads with one of the best opportunities to demonstrate our innovative BIA technologies that continue to receive substantial industry recognition,” said Rob Sims, President and CEO of Crossroads Systems. “As Crossroads’ strategic direction is to unleash new resiliency solutions in 2007, we look forward to building strong relationships with key security industry leaders, expanding our customer-base through demonstrations of our unique BIA solutions and solidifying our position as a leading data security solutions provider.”
