"What we like best about the Products of the Year (POY) competition is that it gives us a chance to see the very best that today's IT industry has to offer.  It's a fantastic opportunity to forget all about the vendors' names or revenue numbers, focus objectively on the products, and show our readers what those products can bring to the data center," said Stephen J. Bigelow, Senior Technology Editor at SearchDataCenter.com.  "Selecting the best IT products this year was a difficult assignment as not only were there a bumper crop of product submissions, but we also raised the bar by revising and enhancing our judging criteria."  

"Continuity Software is sincerely honored to have been designated a finalist for TechTarget's SearchDataCenter.com 2011 Products of the Year Award," said Gil Hecht, founder and CEO, Continuity Software.  "To have been singled-out by one of the most trusted and turned-to sources for data center solutions is an enviable testament to RecoverGuard v5.4's industry-unique ability to enable global companies to ensure disaster recovery (DR), high availability (HA) and service level agreement (SLA) compliance across their geographically distributed primary production and remote DR sites, as well as make private cloud disaster recovery management possible."  He continued, "We also applaud our esteemed fellow finalists and wish them the best of luck in the finals."
