Continuity Adds Private Cloud Advisor

According to Continuity Software CEO Gil Hecht, trying to build a multi-tenant architecture using virtualization software is a complex undertaking for most IT organizations. Continuity has assembled the best practices for building such environments as a set of guidelines that an IT organization can follow when using the company’s software to manage disaster recovery and high-availability servers.

RecoverGuard, said Hecht, identifies risks associated with high availability so IT organizations can mitigate them before a potential availability issue arises. This is important, said Hecht, because most IT organizations don’t have an effective way to test their high-availability implementations and disaster recovery plans prior to an actual crisis because they can’t turn on their secondary servers for testing while the production systems are running.

The new release, which now identifies over 400 risk signatures identified with systems failures, also adds support for HP XP storage systems.
