Theft, viruses, system crashes, and misplaced or stolen backup tapes are driving demand for reliable, disk-based backup solutions. Real-Time Data BackupSonicWALL® Backup and Recovery solutions provide automatic, real-time data backup for servers, laptops and PCs. The solution backs up files locally first to ensure data can easily be recovered instantly from any previous point in time. It also includes hands-free, automatic offsite backup capabilities to protect businesses against disasters. Together, the automatic, hassle-free local and offsite data backup capabilities solve the pains related to existing backup systems. Importantly, the CDP series of products back up only block level differences within each file, and then compress them so the network is not impacted or compromised. Also, central management and remote administration features allow IT administrators to operate efficiently and effectively. Tapeless, Enterprise-level Data Protection Without the Price TagShort recovery time objectives and backup tape performance problems are driving demand for high-speed disk-based backup. CDP provides enterprise-class features such as continuous data protection, remote management and hands-free offsite backup - without enterprise-class cost. SonicWALL CDP for Your BusinessSonicWALL Backup and Recovery products were developed specifically with the small-to-medium business in mind - there are no tapes or disks to manage and the appliance includes simple, centralised administration. With the highest standards of reliability, data integrity and security, SonicWALL protects your business, not just your data. If You're Using Tape BackupTape backup systems are unreliable and prone to human error. Data recovery from backup tapes fail more than 50% of the time, and can be up to 400x slower than recovering data from a disk. Most taxing is the cost and effort it takes to administer tape backup systems - rotating tapes, checking them and transporting them offsite. Why use tape backup when there is CDP? Our product is the only appliance on the market today that provides local and offsite data protection for the SMB market. Because it is a complete solution that includes hardware and software in one appliance, no integration is necessary. With the CDP Series, you get seamless migration of data between laptops, desktops and servers to the CDP appliance as well as offsite for disaster protection. Continuous Data BackupCDP detects new or changed files, even when files are open. When this information is found, CDP immediately and automatically replicates it to dedicated hardware locally. Unlike most traditional backup products, no user intervention or additional software or hardware is required with CDP, and risk of data loss is virtually nonexistent because there are no backup windows. Offsite ProtectionA clear differentiator for CDP is its "no-touch" offsite backup feature, which uses SSL encryption, advanced compression, and backup of only binary differences. This offsite feature protects data against the risks of fire, theft, misplacement and other issues relating to tape or CD-based backup. Instant Recovery and File Versions From CDP's simple interface, users have access to point and click data recovery features. The intelligent CDP software saves and time-stamps file versions of each file so they are easy to locate. Unlimited PCsConnect an unlimited number of computers, laptops, and/or servers to CDP for real-time CDP. Selected PCs and files are monitored every minute of the day for new or changed information.

SecurityOffsite data is secured by the same AES 256-bit encryption technologies implemented by major financial institutions and government agencies. SonicWALL CDP also utilises public-key encryption and digital certificates as an additional layer of protection. Finally, every SonicWALL CDP customer has secure e-mail address and password authentication. Central ManagementThe SonicWALL Enterprise Manager provides system activity monitoring and viewing of all agents that are active on SonicWALL CDP. IT Administrators benefit from file-level visibility into every agent connected to SonicWALL CDP to enforce consistent backup policies and control features available to individual end users. Remote AdministrationIT Administrators can manage SonicWALL CDP, recover a deleted file for a customer, or view vital statistics from a remote location connected to the LAN. This saves the IT Administrator valuable time and resources instead of having to physically visit the customer's site for a simple file recovery like other backup solutions. Bare Metal Recovery (BMR)SonicWALL BMR software creates an exact image of an entire server or workstation - including the operating system files, programs, databases, and settings, enabling the recovery of an entire system in minutes. Moreover, its wizard-driven graphical user interface (GUI) is easy-to-use, making it an ideal application for SMB customers. Local ArchivingLeveraging the SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery software, CDP solution provides local data archiving for businesses that need to store snapshots of their data for extended periods of time to meet industry and government compliance regulations. Customers can explore their archives and restore an individual file if needed. CompressionSonicWALL CDP has compression technology that achieves compression ranges from 2:1 to 5:1 depending on file type. This allows users to utilise their disk space very efficiently and creates smaller file transfers on the network. ComplianceSonicWALL is committed to safeguarding business data. To that end, SonicWALL CDP meets and complies with all federal and industry regulations on the protection, accessibility, and retention of information. But SonicWALL goes beyond the minimum requirements for security and retention of information. Because SonicWALL's business is data security and retention, we take government and industry regulations seriously.
