GreenBank has selected SPHiNX virtual tape appliance from Crossroads Systems, a provider of data protection solutions, to further enhance compliance with industry data security standards.

A dedicated virtual tape appliance, SPHiNX delivers optimized data protection and resiliency for GreenBank’s IBM Power Systems (AS/400) environment that services its corporate headquarters as well as 65 branches throughout Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina.

GreenBank now utilizes SPHiNX as a data encryption and replication solution linked to a remote site.

Jason O’Dell, AVP and IT manager at GreenBank, said: “Our number one objective was to find a solution that securely replicated and encrypted our data in a manner that met our compliance requirements and didn’t cause any headaches. Crossroads Systems was clearly the right choice.

“Its SPHiNX product provides powerful security while also providing us with welcomed efficiency, cost cutting, and an ability to more fully utilize the data storage infrastructure that we already had in place. Beyond its innovation, Crossroads also consistently provides superior product development and customer service.”
