NEW YORK, January 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

AvailabilityGuard/SAN Recognized for Ability to Provide Visibility Across Entire SAN Fabric to Identify Gaps and Vulnerabilities - Eliminate Risk of Service Disruption and/or Data Loss

Continuity Software™, the world's leading provider of service availability risk management solutions, today announced that its AvailabilityGuard/SAN software has been named a Finalist for the Storage magazine / SearchStorage.com 2013 Products of the Year Awards, in the Backup and Disaster Recovery Software and Services Category. Chosen by a panel of judges consisting of the TechTarget Storage Media Group editors, analysts, consultants and other industry experts, AvailabilityGuard/SAN was singled out for its ability to provide visibility into the entire storage area network (SAN) fabric, including storage, servers, operating systems, file systems and host bus adaptors, among other things, in order to identify gaps in data protection and data loss risks.  AvailabilityGuard/SAN was also recognized for its ability to provide automatic daily verification of the SAN fabric, impact testing for changes to the environment and validation that configuration changes won't result in data loss.

The accompanying editorial stated, "As we've seen year after year, our list of finalists reads like a mix of who's who in storage and a roster of upcoming insurgents. But it's just that kind of potent blending of old and new that ensures a wide variety of storage products appropriate for nearly any environment will always be available and evolving."  It concluded by saying, "So, take a look at the data storage systems that have already demonstrated their innovation and value, and are poised to help storage keep pace with today's rapidly changing data center environments."

"We are sincerely honored to be named a Finalist for the Storage magazine / SearchStorage.com Storage Products of the Year Awards in the Backup and Disaster Recovery Software and Services Category," said Gil Hecht, Founder and CEO, Continuity Software.  "In addition to serving as a seal of approval of which we are understandably quite proud, it underscores the growing frustration, and even fear, associated with today's increasingly complex SAN environments. Consequently, we believe the extraordinary response to our AvailabilityGuard/SAN solution indicates that astute IT executives recognize the danger of service disruption and are actively seeking a solution that will enable them to eliminate this risk."
