RecoverGuard v4.0 Wins Silver in Backup and Disaster Recovery Software and Services Category
NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, February 8 - Continuity Software(TM), a leading provider of disaster recovery (DR) and
high availability (HA) management solutions, today announced that its
RecoverGuard version 4.0 (v4.0) software has won the Silver Award in
TechTarget's Storage magazine's and SearchStorage.com's 2009 Products of the
Year awards, in the Backup and Disaster Recovery Software and Services
category.

RecoverGuard v4.0, together with the other finalists, was judged and
chosen from the record number of nominations received this year based upon
its innovation, ease of installation, integration and manageability, as well
as its competitive functionality and overall value/ROI.
"Getting a disaster recovery plan right requires testing, which can be an
expensive, time-consuming and disruptive process. Some companies roll the
dice and skimp on testing, but others have found that DR testing tools, like
Continuity Software's RecoverGuard, can provide a measure of assurance to
their DR plans," reported TechTarget's storage editors. "RecoverGuard
provides a sanity check for a DR plan as it detects potential gaps or
conflicts in the processes that a recovery would depend on, such as
incomplete replication configurations, or inadequate or incompatible remote
site gear. To do this, RecoverGuard uses agentless technology to inventory an
environment and then continually monitors the status to flag any changes that
could knock a DR plan out of kilter. With that information in hand, the odds
of crafting an effective disaster recovery plan vastly improve, or as one
judge put it: 'What better way to do DR is there?'"
"It is common knowledge that in today's highly stressed IT environments,
unanticipated and unwanted downtime still happens. A high availability
infrastructure for processors and storage is one of your best protections.
Yet, even an HA infrastructure can drift as configuration changes are
implemented, manual adjustments are made, new releases of software and
firmware are applied, and underlying business processes evolve. The result is
that too many IT organizations fall short of meeting their uptime
requirements. However, with RecoverGuard customers can identify and
proactively correct potential threats, thus eliminating this risk of downtime
and ensuring that service level (SLA) objectives are met," said Gil Hecht,
Founder and CEO of Continuity Software.
Hecht continued, "The SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine Products of
the Year award is among the most coveted, as it is judged by the
editors/reporters at both publications, as well as analysts and other
industry experts that are known and respected authorities in their fields. To
have won the Silver award again, in the Backup and Recovery Software
category, is indeed a great honor."
RecoverGuard was awarded the Silver Award in the Backup and Recovery
Software category in 2007, and was also named a finalist for the 2008 Storage
magazine and SearchStorage.com Products of the Year Awards.
