Get the Most Out of Your Tape Backup with RVA

Crossroads ReadVerify™ Appliance (RVA) proactively validates the integrity of tape backup systems and provides a simple, real-time way to monitor, track and report on performance, utilization and health of tape devices and tape media. With RVA, you can be assured of your tape media’s physical integrity while ensuring data can be read during a recovery event.

Looking to Maximize Tape Backups While Minimizing Failures?

Providing visibility into the causes of incomplete or failed backups, RVA helps you address media and hardware issues before a catastrophic failure that may threaten the viability of your organization occurs.

How Does RVA Work?

RVA proactively monitors tape backups and reports cartridge and drive statistics collected during backup operations. Automatic alerting and reporting provides information on impending media and/or drive failures, overall utilization and performance of tape media and drives. You can utilize reports for load balancing and to proactively address media and hardware failure before they threaten your organization’s backup health.

How Do I Reduce the Risk of Losing Data?

ArchiveVerify™ (AV), an optional feature for RVA, reduces the risk of losing data stored on tape and lowers backup and archive costs. RVA assures you that data written to tape can be read—verification procedures are automatically initiated, and analysis is conducted on the entire written length of tape media. Reporting capabilities help fulfill requirements for Service Level Agreements and regulatory compliance audits.

“RVA has provided statistical data on the health of our tape storage infrastructure and allowed us to achieve significant improvement in the performance and utilization of our backup and archival resources.”
