Case Study: Crossroads Systems, Inc. achieves full-bandwidth offsite replication for disaster recovery with Aspera

Enabling Offsite Replication For Disaster Recovery Applications

Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS), a global provider of data protection and recovery solutions, needed to make reliable offsite replication practical for disaster recovery amid shrinking backup windows and limited network bandwidth. The challenge was to accelerate large-scale data movement between sites without forcing customers to buy additional telecom capacity or endure long, redundant copy times.

Crossroads embedded Aspera Sync’s multi-directional synchronization and WAN-acceleration engine into its SPHINX virtual tape and StrongBox network-attached tape products, enabling transfers at full bandwidth — up to hundreds of times faster than traditional methods — and intelligently propagating file moves and renames. The result is significantly faster, more efficient offsite replication, lower telecom costs, the ability to move more files in the same time window, and a practical DR replication solution for large-scale environments.
