Continuity Software in Partnership With Infinidat

Continuity Software, Inc., a provider of IT operations analytics for infrastructure outage prevention, announced a partnership with Infinidat, Ltd, a storage solution provider, to deliver enhanced storage availability and efficiency.

Continuity’s partnership with Infinidat enables organizations that have deployed Infinidat’s InfiniBox enterprise storage solution to integrate Continuity’s AvailabilityGuard software to perform ongoing IT infrastructure service and data loss risk detection, providing an additional layer of protection to Infinidat’s robust storage and data availability capabilities.

The performance and reliability of information systems has become critical to business, however organizations face challenges keeping their IT environments free of outages, data loss incidents, and service disruptions. Continuity Software helps organizations ensure their IT infrastructure is configured correctly to meet the organization’s service availability goals. AvailabilityGuard software automatically scans all layers of the infrastructure and analyzes it against a knowledge base of over 6,000 best practices and vendor recommendations. It detects configuration issues and single points of failure that can lead to service disruptions, alerting the appropriate team to take corrective action before they impact the business. AvailabilityGuard also allows organizations to identify and eliminate potential storage configuration vulnerabilities, improving operational efficiency and reducing the risk of downtime and data loss.

Benefits to customers include:

• Automated detection and mapping of InfiniBox storage arrays and their configuration;
• Automated detection of deviations from Infinidat best practices and vendor recommendations;
• Automated detection of any configuration conflicts with other layers of the infrastructure, including servers, databases, and virtualization;
• Automated analysis of replication and mirroring, including detection of partial replication, replication inconsistencies, and incorrect alignment; and
• Analysis of actual RPO metrics versus goals.
  

The InfiniBox storage solution delivers enterprise storage at a disruptive price point. It offers mainframe-class reliability with 99.99999% availability, while delivering up to 1 million IO/s of performance,  microsecond latency, 12.5GB/s of throughput and over 2.7PB of usable storage capacity in a 19-inch/42U rack. Reliability features include end-to-end data protection; triple redundant power and data paths; snapshots and replication; and hot swap upgrades. The storage arrays are also power-efficient, drawing a maximum of between 3-8KW at a full load. By providing multi-petabyte capacity in a single rack, along with CDP and rich storage automation, Infinidat is changing the paradigm of storage efficiency and productivity while reducing operational overhead, complexity and cost. Customers experience a low TCO.

“As data volumes increase exponentially, organizations seek a reliable solution that will support their growth and enable them to leverage their information to achieve a greater competitive advantage,” said Jacob Broido, chief product officer, Infinidat. “Infinidat customers enjoy the promise of 99.99999% storage availability and the synergy between Continuity’s solution and InfiniBox allows them to expand this superb up time to entire IT value chain of applications, servers, networking and storage.“

“We are excited to be partnering with Infinidat, a company who shares many of the same goals as our own, said Doron Pinhas,“ CTO, Continuity Software. “With the frequency of infrastructure outages increasing, IT operations analytics have become a critical component in proactively identifying ad eliminating single points-of-failure across major IT infrastructure systems.“
