Continuity Software is announcing that it’s expanding its risk management offerings by adding AvailabilityGuard/SAN, software which detects downtime and data loss risks across a SAN to ensure that data is protected and business continuity goals are met. As the modern SAN generally comprises several vendors’ solutions and can be managed by multiple IT teams or individuals, configuration errors are bound to happen. Additionally, lots of organizations lack a universal management tool, meaning that changes in one sector of the SAN might not be completed in another region due to oversight or another IT admin being unaware. AvailabilityGuard/SAN utilizes a community-supported knowledgebase that compiles thousands of potential risks, and then it searches for and finds them. From there, it validates vendor best practices to ensure that the configuration is optimized.
