However, our customers also realize that even the smallest change to their IT environment can add an unacceptable level of risk. RecoverGuard completely eliminates this concern,” said Alexey Chekanov, CEO, Almitech (www.almitech.ru).

We view it as an indispensable tool for protecting investments in remote backup data centers, as well as localized DR and HA strategies.
