Partner Communications applies cutting edge technologies to enable
its customers to benefit from excellent voice quality, superb
customer service, nationwide coverage and a range of services
specifically designed to provide communication solutions for
residential and business customers alike. To protect its data
assets, the company consistently replicates its data to remote
datacenters in order to help ensure data recoverability, business
continuity and zero interruption of service in the face of a
disaster. "Any company that intends to hold a market leadership
position in today's highly competitive global economy must
constantly improve and update its IT infrastructure, which adds an
unavoidable level of complexity. However, from both an internal
governance and external regulatory compliance standpoint a
bullet-proof disaster recovery strategy is a must," said Shlomi
Penner, Storage System Architect and Manager, Partner
Communications. "Conducting semi-annual DR audits were incredibly
time consuming and expensive. While we were able to identify areas
of exposure and remedy, what was to say that tomorrow a new
vulnerability would not develop?" He continued, "With Continuity
Software RecoverGuard, it is like having a dedicated DR expert
onsite 24x7x365, monitoring and helping us to fix all gaps and
vulnerabilities, as they arise. Moreover, RecoverGuard has helped
us to identify opportunities for optimization which has led to
considerable operational and capital expenditure savings." "Most
enterprise organizations are investing countless dollars in
replication and other technologies in an effort to protect their
data and ensure recoverability in the event of a disaster. The
truth however, is that most IT executives are backing that with a
'cross your fingers and pray we never really need to find out'
strategy. Conversely, Partner Communications has further
demonstrated its progressive attitude in relation to its overall IT
strategy and implemented RecoverGuard," said Gil Hecht, Founder and
CEO, Continuity Software. "Today, RecoverGuard allows Partner
Communications to automatically and continuously scan its IT
infrastructure -- including its servers, databases, applications,
EMC storage, and EMC replication configurations -- to ensure all
data protection and disaster recovery risks are found and
eliminated, well before disaster strikes." About Partner
