NEW YORK, NY - December 16, 2008

NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 16, 2008 - Richard Fleischman & Associates (RFA), the premier provider of outsourced technology and IT services, and the trusted technology advisor to more than 400 firms in the alternative asset space, today announced the availability of Safe Harbor facilities and services. In uncertain times such as these, RFA comes to market with Safe Harbor's suite of business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions that uniquely combine physical business facilities, expert professional support and technologies that assure service levels, as well as concierge-caliber convenience and comfort.

RFA's Safe Harbor solution was designed in response to heightened interest in corporate governance and investor due diligence. RFA's offering puts smaller funds on a level playing field with larger funds when vying for investment in this tough market. RFA's comprehensive technology platforms deliver world class disaster recovery and crisis management services across a wide range of price points. Each client has access to meeting and conferencing facilities, gym and showers, a choice of two cafeterias and ample parking. The data center and offices feature dedicated UPS power with emergency generator backup and multiple major Internet service providers.

Located in Purchase, NY, outside of Manhattan, Safe Harbor is entirely RFA owned and operated as a fully-equipped business continuity facility. It stands alone among BCP and DR alternatives, combining into a single service offering:

• State-of-the-art hosted and dedicated technology platforms for replication and data vaulting.
• Business continuity professionals ready to assist with crisis management.
• Dedicated disaster recovery seating, and private offices that are not oversold.

Safe Harbor BCP
While business managers typically have a general idea of what to do in a crisis, regulatory compliance may necessitate more, even a written procedure or practiced processes. RFA has created a modular BCP offering that ensures compliant crisis preparedness.

Safe Harbor DR
A good disaster plan is worthless without precise execution. An alternative office with backup power and broadband, as well as ready access to all business data, underpins superior and uninterrupted service delivery, while assuring against loss of competitive position and revenue. The Safe Harbor DR facilities and services deliver fully resilient infrastructure not found in a typical office or residential environment. Remote access also is supported.

"RFA's Safe Harbor uniquely affords luxury managed-office facilities that make our clients feel right at home," said Richard Fleischman President of RFA. "We are proud to offer the Safe Harbor gold standard in BCP and DR. There is nothing else out there that surpasses the RFA solution; our growing portfolio of clients knows and appreciates this."
