Dedicated Hurricane Preparedness Webpage, Informative Webinar Programs, a Virtual Disaster Recovery Testing Lab, and In-Person Demonstrations Help IT Staff Better Prepare for Deploying a Data Protection Solution
WALTHAM, Mass., May 17 // -- XOsoft, a leading provider of continuous application availability software solutions, today announced the availability of several tools and events, including a dedicated hurricane awareness Webpage with insightful information on disaster recovery (DR) preparedness, to help IT executives build and implement a DR solution that will meet individual data protection requirements. Offering weekly, interactive webinars, a virtual lab for evaluating XOsoft's award-winning WANSyncHA and Assured Recovery software, the informative Webpage and participating in several conferences for in-person demonstrations, XOsoft is helping IT staff make more informed decisions about DR preparation and the types of DR solutions that best suit an organization's computing environments.
2005 was one of the worst hurricane seasons on record, and being proactive about having a solid DR plan in place before the season begins is a high priority. XOsoft's recently announced data replications solution -- WANSyncHA version 4.0 -- delivers significant enhancements to the management and deployment modules, as well as offers expanded support for several new platforms and applications including BlackBerry, which can help staff communicate and operate more efficiently. In addition, to help customers make more informed DR planning decisions, XOsoft has consolidated its hurricane preparedness tools and relevant information onto one helpful, quick reference page located at: http://xosoft.com/hurricanes/.
To offer more personal insight into experiences pre- and post- a DR solution implementation, XOsoft will be sponsoring a multitude of webinars that will feature both industry experts and customers from the Southeast U.S., who will educate attendees on the importance of deploying a DR solution; enabling participants to gain significant information regarding how to minimize downtime, and protect critical information assets. Upcoming webinars and previous recordings can all be found on XOsoft's Website at: http://xosoft.com/press/f_webinars.shtml.
In addition, XOsoft offers the use of its Virtual Lab to evaluate WANSyncHA and Assured Recovery. For many companies, building a lab environment to evaluate DR software can prove to be an extremely time- intensive process that requires additional resources, time and budget; causing DR projects to be put on hold. This resource was designed to help prospective customers assess a DR solution in a non-production environment, thereby affording a testing-ground to evaluate a solution's DR capabilities quickly and effortlessly. It also provides the opportunity to evaluate Assured Recovery, the only software product available to test the recoverability of an organization's data and applications prior to a hurricane hitting.

In helping to prepare organizations for the hurricane season, XOsoft's premiere customer Ben Weinberger at Ruden McClosky is speaking at this week's Storage Decisions conference to discuss how the Florida law firm was able to test their DR site with Assured Recovery and then failover their hurricane- stricken offices to their remote site and continue working throughout two major hurricanes during the 2005 hurricane season. XOsoft will also be exhibiting at the upcoming Disaster Recovery and Data Protection Summit in Tampa Bay, Florida, on May 31 and June 1, which was developed specifically to help companies in the hurricane belt.
