Continuity Software Launches AvailabilityGuard/Cloud™ - Automated Health Check of Virtual Infrastructure Ensures Continuous Service Availability for Private Cloud Applications PR Newswire NEW YORK, August 27, 2012 NEW YORK, August 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- New Software Detects Downtime and Data-Loss Risks; Alerts for Cross-Vendor Best Practice Violations Continuity Software™, the leading provider of service availability risk management solutions, today announced the release of AvailabilityGuard/Cloud™, a private cloud automated health check solution that detects cross-domain configuration errors across all layers of IT - all the way from application server to the database, virtual machine (VM), physical infrastructure, storage area network (SAN), network-attached storage (NAS) and clustering - in order to eliminate data loss and business downtime risks. AvailabilityGuard/Cloud was created in response to the rapidly increasing rate at which organizations of all sizes are deploying mission-critical applications in virtualized private clouds and consequently, the sharp rise in private cloud downtime and data-loss events. While the benefits of virtualization are impossible to ignore, it has also become apparent that managing a private cloud infrastructure frequently involves manually-intensive processes that are prone to failure, often with a devastating effect on business service availability.
