"Back in August, we only had customers in Israel and had just a few U.S. customers in the pipeline," explains Stone.

Launched early last year, Continuity's flagship RecoverGuard software sits on one side of either the production or disaster recovery environment and runs a detection engine similar to antivirus software.

RecoverGuard continually monitors data as it is replicated from the production data center into the secondary or backup center for disaster recovery purposes. The monitoring software then alerts administrators immediately about where and why a problem has occurred.

Last month, Continuity launched DR Assurance, a version of RecoverGuard aimed at companies that lack the resources to constantly monitor their own systems. "We launched it because some of our customers didn't have time or resource to allocate a professional to access RecoverGuard and go over the disaster recovery on a daily basis."

With DR Assurance, Continuity runs these checks from its own data center, sending users weekly and monthly reports, although the vendor will also notify its customers immediately if it notices a major problem.
