RecoverGuard v4.0 Wins Silver in Backup and Disaster Recovery Software and Services Category
New York, NY and Tel Aviv, Israel (February 8, 2010) – Continuity Software™, 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.
