21st Century Software Announces Industry's First Cross-Platform Recovery Assurance Solution
DR/VFI Delivers a Single Recovery-Based Repository with a Consolidated
Business Assurance Dashboard for Mainframe, UNIX and Linux
Wayne, PA (PRWEB) March 8, 2008 -- 21st Century Software, a leader in Recovery Assurance solutions, announces the release of the industry's first cross-platform solution for ensuring the recoverability of critical applications, process, data and their ever-changing interdependencies across Mainframe, UNIX and Linux platforms.
"For more than 16 years, 21st Century Software has provided multi-platform Recovery Assurance solutions. We know that our customers operate their businesses in multi-platform environments based on interdependent data, and require an integrated solution to help ensure their critical applications and data can be recovered in any event," said Pete Wilson, president of 21st Century Software.
"With DR/VFI Recovery Assurance software, customers can now monitor and analyze critical data and applications across both Mainframe and Open systems through a single pane interface. This multi-view interface can be customized by user, type, and function to deliver the right information in the right format," Wilson explained.
Mainframe, UNIX, and Linux platforms have vastly different operating environments, and are typically managed by separate IT teams within an organization. Using DR/VFI, storage administrators, recovery managers, and line-of-business managers can monitor their recoverability status in real-time across Mainframe and Open systems platforms. The integration of business recovery assurance strategies across platforms will help companies ensure their recoverability and achieve more aggressive Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
Dave Russell, Research Vice President with Gartner, notes that "our discussions with enterprise customers definitely show the need for an integrated recovery monitoring and reporting solution to improve a business' ability to ensure availability of key data assets."
DR/VFI continuously and consistently monitors critical applications and data interdependencies throughout an organization, identifies the interdependencies between those applications and data, and ensures those assets are retained by the most secure and efficient strategy. In addition, the ability to audit and verify status by application and process enables organizations to validate their recoverability to executives, shareholders, and regulators.
Wilson also noted that the DR/VFI Recovery Assurance Simulation capabilities combined with the cross-platform functionality is another clear differentiator for 21st Century Software in the industry. "Business managers and executives are clearly focused on reducing risk and exposure in today's climate of increasing competition and regulation. DR/VFI customers can instantly and cost-effectively simulate a backup or recovery to know at a moment's notice how successful their recovery would be," Wilson said.
The cross-platform functionality and single pane interface for DR/VFI Recovery Assurance software is available now.
