"In today's enterprise IT environment, the complexity and the number of
stake holders involved in change management create a situation where the IT
team cannot realistically meet its recovery time and recovery point
objectives, or maintain visibility into their SLA. The production environment
constantly changes, some changes 'slip through' and are not applied properly
to the remote datacenter or localized DR solution, and once again the
business is vulnerable to extended downtime, data loss or data corruption,"
said Gil Hecht, Founder and CEO of Continuity Software. "RecoverGuard has
solved this issue for our customers. Moreover, with the addition of host
configuration gap detection, over 500 new gap signatures, integration with
leading CMDBs and ticket management systems, as well as HDS platform support
Continuity Software is demonstrating its unyielding commitment to delivering
the greatest value and return on investment to customers by meeting both
existing and emerging challenges."

Hecht continued, "We are sincerely honored to be named a finalist, for
the second year in a row, for one of the industry's most prestigious
recognitions - even more so to be included again among such recognized and
respected industry leaders as this year's finalists. We wish them each
congratulations and the best of luck."

RecoverGuard won the Silver Award in the SearchStorage.com and Storage
magazine 2007 Storage Products of the Year Award, in the Backup and Disaster
Recovery Software category.

RecoverGuard v3.0 Enhancements

- Host configuration gap detection - RecoverGuard v3.0 enables customers
to properly prepare for DR tests and to maintain a recoverable environment by
providing them with a tool that discovers and reports on one of the most
common DR Testing challenges - host configuration gaps (i.e., hardware,
operating system and network resources), in order to ensure recovery time
objective (RTO), recovery point objective (RPO) and business continuity
objectives are met. Gap coverage includes comparison of versions and path
levels of applications, databases and operating systems. In addition,
RecoverGuard v3.0 also seeks and identifies differences in hardware
specification such as CPUs, memory, etc... between production and DR hosts.

- Enhanced integration with leading configuration management databases
(CMDBs) and ticket management systems - RecoverGuard v3.0 now easily and
transparently integrates with BMC Remedy and HP OpenView, allowing customers
to maintain one point of contact for monitoring and managing their
environment. RecoverGuard v3.0 can now be configured to send specific tickets
and reports to these systems as standard practice.

- Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) platform support - in response to market
demand, RecoverGuard v3.0 can now scan HDS TrueCopy solutions, as well as HDS
HiCommand Application Server, Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS), Workgroup
Modular Storage (WMS), Universal Storage Platform V (USP V) and Universal
Storage Platform VM (USP VM). The enhancements ensure data protection and
improved recoverability, along with optimization opportunities and best
practices for these platforms.

The winners of the SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine 2008 Storage
Products of the Year Award will be announced in February 2009. For further
