    RecoverGuard v5.0 Added Functionality and Enhancements:

    - SLA Management - highly detailed graphical overview of SLA compliance
      enables customers to balance the business criticality of each
      application against its associated expense; customers can quickly and
      easily establish required levels of protection, define policies and
      then track and remedy violations/breaches/risks.

    - Extended Cluster Support - Out-of-the-box support now provided for
      Microsoft Failover Cluster, IBM PowerHA, HP Serviceguard, Solaris
      Cluster, Linux clusters and HP PolyServe.

    - Graphical User Interface (GUI) - Incorporating dozens of customer
      features and enhancements requests, RecoverGuard's award winning UI is
      now more streamlined and feature rich than ever.

    - HA/DR Risk Signatures - over 800 new risk signatures added to the
      database.

    - CMDB Systems Integration - Bi-directional integration with all major
      CMDB.

    - Microsoft Active Directory - RecoverGuard now fully integrates with
      Active Directory to provide unified user management.

    - Reporting - extended host configuration, database storage utilization,
      and NetApp filer replication reporting now included.

"Configuration drift, which occurs when production or primary
infrastructure configurations change or differ from the recovery or secondary
infrastructure, is an inevitable condition in today's constantly changing
data center. This can create serious data protection gaps which impact RPO
and host configuration gaps which impact RTO," said Deni Connor, Principal
Analyst, Storage Strategies NOW. "Not surprisingly, configuration drift is
one of the primary reasons disaster recovery and high availability systems
fail - exposing businesses to higher risks of data loss and extended outages.
RecoverGuard v5.0 offers an ideal solution for helping IT organizations to
eliminate configuration drift."

RecoverGuard software 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 3,500 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.

"With the added functionality in v5.0, RecoverGuard provides customers
with the ability to establish required levels of protection, define policies
and then track and remedy violations, breaches and risks across an even
greater breadth of environments - faster and more easily than ever before,"
said Doron Pinhas, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Continuity Software.
"Staying close to our customers is more than a slogan for us; the
improvements in v5.0 stem directly from feedback from hundreds of our
customers, as well as our strategic channel partners. We are therefore
delighted, but not entirely surprised, by the tremendous customer response
v5.0 has already enjoyed."
