NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, August 16, 2010 - Continuity Software(TM), the leading provider of disaster recovery (DR)
and high availability (HA) management solutions, today announced the general

Private Cloud Advisor, designed to enable customers to fully ensure

"Continuity Software's RecoverGuard is the most complete DR and HA
testing and monitoring product that I have seen on the market today. In fact,
it is the only DR and HA solution that I know about that has been able to
effectively keep pace with support for virtually all enterprise technology
platforms, as well as with the countless risks and vulnerabilities found in
today's dynamic data centers," said David Hill, Principal, Mesabi Group
(www.mesabigroup.com), and author of the book, Data Protection:
Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance. "It is actually mind boggling
that today, any business organization would not employ a DR and HA
vulnerability detection solution. One needs only to read the recent headlines
to be reminded that it is not a question of if an issue will arise - only
when."

Hill continued, "The addition of the Private Cloud Advisor to
RecoverGuard software is indeed an important enhancement, given the
proliferation of customers deploying private clouds and their inherent DR and
HA challenges."

Commenting on RecoverGuard software, Jean S. Bozman, Research Vice
President, IDC's (www.idc.com/) Enterprise Platforms Group, said,
"Private cloud computing is a data center strategy for delivering in-house IT
services based on the delivery of virtualized software stacks, on an
on-demand basis, and protected within the company's security firewalls.
However, achieving high availability in a highly virtualized environment is
often difficult, because of the need to visualize, and to manage, all of the
components in a unified way. Continuity's RecoverGuard v5.2 software will
help IT staff to verify the correct mapping of VMs - whether they are running
on physical servers or housed in storage arrays - for purposes of disaster
recovery planning, application-specific recovery in case of outages and
ongoing support of service level (SLA) agreements that are set for specific
workloads running in this environment."

"While private clouds can offer tremendous business benefit in terms of
server consolidation and allocating IT expense across the organization, they
also introduce IT management complexity. Specifically, private clouds
introduce abstraction layers which lead to service availability issues such
as hidden single points of failure, failing high availability relocations and
best practice and SLA violations. Recoverability (DR) and data protection
challenges are also introduced, as private cloud technology is not storage
aware," said Gil Hecht, Founder and CEO of Continuity Software. "RecoverGuard
v5.2 enables customers to completely eliminate these risks and
vulnerabilities - essentially making the cloud infrastructure aware.
RecoverGuard v5.2 delivers a complete, end-to-end solution for validating and
assuring both recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives
(RTO) in both physical and/or virtualized environments - thereby allowing
customers to fully ensure business continuity."

Relied upon by many of the leading data centers in virtually every
industry vertical around the world, RecoverGuard is the only comprehensive,
enterprise class, high availability and disaster recovery vulnerability
detection solution for both physical and/or virtualized environments on the
market today. Its field proven ability to identify cross-platform data
protection risks, deliver high availability validation, as well as resource
and performance optimization, is truly unique. Moreover, while competitors
cover approximately 20 - 30 static rules, RecoverGuard includes over 4,000
risk signatures in a dynamic, auto-updated knowledgebase (approximately 100
new signatures are added each month). From data protection validation, to
server OS configuration analysis, cluster configuration validation, HA/DR
optimization, as well as heterogeneous platform support - no other solution
comes even close to the breadth and depth delivered by RecoverGuard today.
