Austin-based Crossroads Systems, which develops hardware for verifying data backups, said earlier this week that its products have been selected by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETC). The firm said that ETH has selected the firm's ReadVerify Appliance for monitoring its tape libraries, drives, and media. Financial impact of the customer win was not disclosed. Crossroads' products are used to verify the integrity of tape backups, as well as monitoring tape libraries and drives.
