Partner Communications Company Deploys DRM From Continuity Software

Continuity
Software announced that Partner Communications Company Ltd., a Israeli mobile
communications operator known for its GSM/GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA based
services and the development of wire free applications under the
orange™ brand, has deployed a RecoverGuard software solution to ensure
data protection and business continuity in the face of a disaster. 

Partner
Communications applies cutting edge technologies to enable its
customers to benefit from excellent voice quality, superb customer
service, nationwide coverage and a range of services specifically
designed to provide communication solutions for residential and
business customers alike. To protect its data assets, the company
consistently replicates its data to remote datacenters in order to help
ensure data recoverability, business continuity and zero interruption
of service in the face of a disaster.

“Any
company that intends to hold a market leadership position in today’s
highly competitive global economy must constantly improve and update
its IT infrastructure, which adds an unavoidable level of complexity.
However, from both an internal governance and external regulatory
compliance standpoint a bullet-proof disaster recovery strategy is a
must,” said Shlomi Penner, Storage System Architect and Manager,
Partner Communications. “Conducting semi-annual DR audits were
incredibly time consuming and expensive. While we were able to identify
areas of exposure and remedy, what was to say that tomorrow a new
vulnerability would not develop?” He continued, “With Continuity
Software RecoverGuard, it is like having a dedicated DR expert onsite
24x7x365, monitoring and helping us to fix all gaps and
vulnerabilities, as they arise. Moreover, RecoverGuard has helped us to
identify opportunities for optimization which has led to considerable
operational and capital expenditure savings.”

“Most
enterprise organizations are investing countless dollars in replication
and other technologies in an effort to protect their data and ensure
recoverability in the event of a disaster. The truth however, is that
most IT executives are backing that with a ‘cross your fingers and pray
we never really need to find out’ strategy. Conversely, Partner
Communications has further demonstrated its progressive attitude in
relation to its overall IT strategy and implemented RecoverGuard,” said
Gil Hecht, Founder and CEO, Continuity Software. “Today, RecoverGuard
allows Partner Communications to automatically and continuously scan
its IT infrastructure – including its servers, databases, applications,
EMC storage, and EMC replication configurations – to ensure all data
protection and disaster recovery risks are found and eliminated, well
before disaster strikes.”
