RecoverGuard Wins Storage Magazine's 2009 Storage Products of the Year Award

New York and Tel Aviv, Israel, February 8, 2010 -- Continuity Software 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 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.
