Continuity Software has announced the availability of Version 3.0 of its RecoverGuard IT disaster recovery management software.
RecoverGuard v3.0 enhancements include:
- VMware virtualized environment support
RecoverGuard v3.0 offers customers the ability to easily map their entire VMware environment, including all interdependencies between the virtual and physical layers. RecoverGuard v3.0 performs in depth analysis of ESX Server, CIM and VMFS configurations and their mapping to physical devices. New gaps have been added to the RecoverGuard v3.0 knowledgebase, specific to VMware environments, allowing customers to align to VMware best practices standards. All existing gaps such as data tampering, data completeness, data consistency and optimization recommendations are now applicable to VMware environments as well.
- Host configuration gap detection
RecoverGuard v3.0 enables customers to properly prepare for disaster recovery tests and to maintain a recoverable environment by providing 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 that recovery time objective, recovery point objective 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 disaster recovery hosts.
- Enhanced integration with leading configuration management databases
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) and Oracle Data Guard 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). In addition, RecoverGuard v3.0 is now able to scan Oracle Data Guard configurations for gaps and vulnerabilities. The enhancements ensure data protection and improved recoverability, along with optimization opportunities and best practices for these platforms.
RecoverGuard v3.0 will be generally available on June 30, 2008.
