NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, September 26, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Continuity Software [http://www.continuitysoftware.com ](TM), the
world's leading provider of disaster recovery (DR)
[http://www.continuitysoftware.com/solutions/disaster_recovery_testing ] and
high availability (HA)
[http://www.continuitysoftware.com/ha-testing-monitoring ] monitoring and
management solutions, today announced the general availability of
RecoverGuard [http://www.continuitysoftware.com/products.html ] version 5.4
(v5.4) featuring key enhancements intended to target the specific needs of
enterprise-class business organizations, including DR Capacity Management
and Multiple Scan Schedule Support, as well as extended IBM platform support
and almost 500 new risk signatures. For the first time, global companies can
ensure DR, HA and service level agreement (SLA) compliance across their
geographically distributed primary production, remote DR and private cloud
computing environments.

RecoverGuard v5.4's new features and benefits include:
- Disaster Recovery (DR) Capacity Management - Ensures
recovery site computing and storage capacity meets business goals;
auto-notification provided when recovery site capacity misaligns with
requirements.
- Multiple Scan Schedule Support - Enables users to add and
support multiple verification schedules across an unlimited number of
countries, continents and time zones.
- Added IBM Platform Support - DS 6xxx, 8xxx and XIV as well as
all native replication protocols (i.e., Global Mirror, Metro Mirror,
FlashCopy, Global Copy, snapshots and remote mirroring). RecoverGuard's
extensive Support Matrix can be found at:
http://www.continuitysoftware.com/products/support_matrix.
- Over 4,900 Risk Signatures - almost 500 new risk signatures
added as a result of direct feedback from enterprise customers;
RecoverGuard database continuously updated to ensure all of the most
prevalent, as well as the rarest of potential risks can be proactively
discovered and eliminated.
Architecting IT to mitigate business risk is really just the first step
to true HA and DR. Configuration drift remains a constant challenge. Standby
systems become out-of-sync as the production environment constantly changes,
the data center staff work to manually apply the changes to the HA and DR
systems, and inevitably - changes slip through. Annual, even semi-annual,
testing has proven to be unsuccessful - confirming instead that the systems
are out-of-sync and the IT environment highly vulnerable.
"Today's enterprise-class business organizations are extremely adept at
defining their high availability and disaster recovery strategy, as well as
building a program to support their pre-defined recovery time and recovery
point objectives (RTO and RPO). However, where most fall short is in their
ability to track compliance with these goals. Given the size, globally
distributed, dynamic nature of today's enterprise, to try to do so manually
is quite simply a daunting task, that often times is neglected," said David
A. Chapa, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
[http://www.esg-global.com ] (ESG). "RecoverGuard v5.4 is a tool that can
help its users to make certain that they do not fall below their minimum
thresholds and thereby ensure they maintain SLA compliance."
"Indeed, today's enterprise data centers are extremely large, incredibly
complex and being changed/updated on a constant basis. To attempt to compare
production and recovery sites, as well as private cloud infrastructures on a
daily basis is not a trivial endeavor," said Doron Pinhas, Chief Technology
Officer (CTO) of Continuity Software [http://www.continuitysoftware.com ].
"This is however exactly what RecoverGuard continuously and completely
transparently accomplishes. RecoverGuard finds all gaps and vulnerabilities
as they happen - instead of waiting 6 months to a year - during which time
the company is unprotected. Moreover, with RecoverGuard's v5.4 enhancements
customers can rest assured that their highly distributed, business critical
data and applications will remain highly-available and protected in the face
of any manmade or natural disaster."
RecoverGuard v5.4 is now generally available at a starting price of US
$2,000 per server/per year.
