Crossroads Systems Announces Agreement for Sun Microsystems to Offer SurePath(TM) ReadVerify(TM) Appliance in France

Crossroads Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CRDS), a global leading
provider of data protection solutions, today announced its partnership
with global provider of network computing infrastructure solutions,
Sun Microsystems. This partnership gives the opportunity for Sun to
offer Crossroads ReadVerify Appliance in France as part of their data
protection solutions.

Sun France Chooses to Offer Crossroads SurePath RVA to Guarantee
the Recovery of Data Stored on Tapes

Corporations are obligated to meet business, regulatory and
compliancy standards, which are driving ever-increasing data retention
requirements in a cost-effective manner. The use of tape media is an
integral part of corporate backup and archive strategies. Sun sought a
powerful, flexible and reliable solution to help its customers gain
visibility, understanding and pro-active alerts to ensure data
recovery in a timely and cost-effective manner as well as to improve
tape drive utilization and performance. Crossroads´ SurePath
ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) is a simple plug-and-play appliance that
fully integrates with Sun´s platform to ensure pro-active protection
of business-critical information by monitoring, alerting and reporting
on the performance, utilization, and health of tape libraries, drives
and media. Already, Crossroads RVA has been successfully installed and
is fully operational by Sun at various customer sites including a
major airline manufacturer.

"Capitalizing on our extensive market presence and business
experience globally, Sun delivers a premier portfolio of innovative
and advanced storage solutions," said Olivier Tordo, head of the
Storage division at Sun France. "As many of the most sensitive
high-tech, financial and defense organizations in France rely on Sun´s
products and solutions for ensuring access to critical business
information, we feel confident that by offering Crossroads ReadVerify
Appliance our customers will benefit from higher levels of data
protection by addressing a problem area neglected by most storage
integrators. Crossroads RVA benefits all companies and governmental
organizations utilizing tape media by ensuring the protection of their
critical data infrastructure in a unique, innovative and revolutionary
manner."

THE SOLUTION: Crossroads SurePath RVA Offers Simple, Reliable and
High-Performance Data Protection

Crossroads´ SurePath ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) is a simple
plug-and-play appliance that monitors and reports on the performance,
utilization, and health of tape libraries, drives and media. RVA
proactively alerts and provides detailed information on backup failure
conditions, such as tape media error rates or poorly performing tape
drives. Customers gain such high return-on-investments benefits that,
within days, companies can gain visibility to critical tape
infrastructure and system information which they did not have
previously. Storage managers and backup administrators can then take
measures to improve the backup environment and reduce costs
substantially.

"Gaining Sun as an official partner offering Crossroads ReadVerify
Appliance is another example of our successful market penetration in
Europe," said David Cerf, Executive Vice-President of Corporate and
Business Development, Crossroads Systems. "As Sun is a recognized
leading provider of tape libraries globally, we view this
announcement, Sun France´s current installations of Crossroads RVA and
our lead opportunities as a great market endorsement."
