During the event, Continuity Software will show how its RecoverGuard
software provides a heightened level of insight into data protection and
disaster recovery (DR) environments that is unmatched in the industry. It
will highlight RecoverGuard's industry unique feature set - including its
patent pending Business Service Recoverability Status, Data Dependency
Analysis, Data Protection SLA Management, Gap Detection and Optimization
Engines, as well as its newest Interactive Dashboard and Recoverability
Threat Landscape. Continuity Software will also demonstrate how its newly
announced DR Assurance Service combines the powerful capabilities of
RecoverGuard software with the expertise of its DR Specialists Team,
providing customers with the ability to virtually "set and forget" yet still
ensure production and DR site data is always protected and highly available.

According to Gartner, most organizations are not prepared for a business
outage. "The fact that most organizations plan for an outage that lasts up to
seven days indicates a huge hole in those organizations' ability to sustain
business operations if a regional disaster strikes," said Roberta Witty,
Research Vice President at Gartner. "The impact of a disaster that lasts more
than one week can have enormous negative impact on revenue, reputation and
brand. Regional incidents, terrorism, service provider outages and pandemics
can easily last longer than seven days. Therefore, enterprises must be
prepared."(1)

"Typically, organizations test their DR once or twice a year. It is an
incredibly time-intensive and expensive endeavor that always uncovers issues
that will impact recoverability. The problems are fixed, however within days
a simple change will occur that is not implemented appropriately at the
remote site, and once again, the company is in a position of not being
adequately prepared for a disaster," said Avi Stone, Director of Marketing,
Continuity Software. "We look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate how
our solutions help customers to mitigate such risk by detecting data
protection gaps between their primary production and DR sites - long before
disaster strikes. While other solutions focus on specific aspects of DR, or
specific technologies, only RecoverGuard provides the continuous monitoring
and reporting, as well as in-depth level of business continuity understanding
across all the infrastructure layers - all the way from disk spindles,
storage arrays and replication mechanisms through servers, operating systems,
virtualization layers, volume management, file systems and databases."
