RecoverGuard(TM) Provides Orange(TM) with Cutting Edge Solution to Help Ensure Customers Receive the Highest Levels of Voice Quality, Customer Service, and Nationwide Coverage BOSTON and TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuity Software(TM), a leading provider of Disaster Recovery Management (DRM) solutions, today announced that Partner Communications Company Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: PTNR; LSE: PCCD), a leading Israeli mobile communications operator known for its GSM/GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA based services and the development of wire free applications under the Orange(TM) brand, has deployed a RecoverGuard(TM) software solution to ensure data protection and business continuity in the face of a disaster. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070611/260049 ) 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."
