Data recovery software by Continuity Software, a leading provider of Disaster Recovery Management solutions, recently announced the release of its new DR Assurance service, intended to make protecting information and ensuring disaster backup easier than ever. By combining the powerful capabilities of its RecoverGuard disaster recovery testing and monitoring software, with the expertise of its DR Specialists, customers can virtually "set and forget" yet still ensure production environment and DR site data is always protected and highly available.
As with all standard RecoverGuard installations, the DR Assurance service deployment typically occurs in just one hour, after which it immediately begins scanning the customer's storage, database, servers and replication configurations for risks such as unprotected databases or database partitions, noncompliant replication configurations, data that cannot be recovered to a valid consistency point, and much more. Daily statistics, tickets and event notifications are sent directly to the data recovery Continuity Software DR Specialists Team for review and analysis, as opposed to the customer's internal IT staff.
When a problem is detected that will impact recoverability, a Continuity Software DR Specialist will alert the appropriate individuals at the customer site and provide details on the issue, as well as recommendations on how best to resolve. In addition, monthly and/or quarterly, as well as year-end, summary reports are provided with in-depth information on every data recovery issue that occurred and its associated resolution. "Even the most advanced centers in the world - those that are spending millions of dollars on disaster recovery technology - only conduct a DR audit once or twice a year, on average.

While virtually all data recovery software audits identify issues which the company can then resolve, new issues will arise tomorrow, next week, or next month, and their DR strategy can once again be rendered ineffective," said Arun Taneja, Senior Analyst and Founder, The Taneja Group. "RecoverGuard's ability to detect all configuration gaps and vulnerabilities, long before a disaster strikes, gives customers a proactive way to ensure their deployed DR strategy works as designed. The ability for customers to fully leverage RecoverGuard's capabilities as a service allows them to reap all the benefits of the solution."
Continuity is a leading provider of data recovery software management (DRM) solutions. Its RecoverGuard software mitigates data protection and disaster recovery risks by detecting replication infrastructure gaps and configuration vulnerabilities between a customer's primary production and disaster recovery sites. With RecoverGuard software, customers can now confidently validate their DR strategy, and ultimately, ensure their business continuity and data protection goals.
