AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS) today announced general
availability of StrongBox VM, the company's virtual machine (VM) version of its award-winning StrongBox storage gateway.
Organizations using StrongBox VM can now transform their existing resources into simple-to-use, yet powerful network-attached

customers to quickly create file and object-based shared storage for local and distributed architectures without the requirement
of dedicated hardware.
Key product capabilities include:
- Seamlessly integrates with existing IT infrastructure to create nearline and archive storage with multi-copy data protection, secure replication, and self-healing functionality
- Installs in less than an hour
- Intelligently manages file and object storage while saving customers thousands of dollars in hardware purchases and maintenance fees
- Combines the best of flash, disk, tape, and cloud storage technologies to deliver performance that meets defined quality of service (QoS) levels
Customers can turn an existing tape library into a NAS for nearline and archive storage, or use StrongBox VM as a gateway to replicate data off-site or to the cloud with no local tape required.
Businesses can experience the power of StrongBox VM with a free 90-day, no strings attached trial. To request your StrongBox
