SonicWALL Launches Comprehensive Backup and Recovery Solution for Small and Medium Size Businesses
(Nasdaq: SNWL), a leading secure network infrastructure company, today
announced the launch of the SonicWALL(R) Continuous Data Protection (CDP)
Series, which provides small and medium size businesses (SMBs) with a
complete, continual disk-based backup and recovery solution that protects
business critical data, applications and systems. At a time when SMBs are
seeking enhanced productivity from their existing resources, decreasing
budgets, regulatory requirements and the rising demand for continuous
availability of data, the SonicWALL CDP Series provides a unique, low-touch,
comprehensive data protection solution.
Historically, nightly backup was sufficient. Businesses are now looking
for more flexible solutions. The CDP Series provides flexible disaster
recovery options, automatic transparent backups and simple installation and
management requirements. The CDP Series maintains file availability in
multiple historic versions such that all servers and their applications –
including Exchange, SQL and Active Directory database — are protected with
multiple-point-in-time versions for disaster recovery.
“SonicWALL understands the very real pain-points SMBs have when it comes
to backing-up, and more importantly restoring lost data,” said
Director of CDP Product Management, SonicWALL. “Based on customer feedback, we
have worked hard to design an affordable, easy to use backup and recovery
solution that doesn’t compromise on performance or reliability. With features
like policy-driven backup and self-directed restore, the CDP Series does an
amazing job of automating tedious tasks and requiring fewer dedicated IT
resources to manage.”
CDP versus Tape
Human error is to blame for as much as 33 – 40 percent of all data loss,
firms are fast realizing that tape-based recovery solutions are no longer
suitable in today’s fast moving business environment. As technology advances
and tape-based storage solutions become outdated, businesses are looking for
technologies that can offer speed of recovery, superior flexibility, and are
easier to manage with greater reliability. SonicWALL’s CDP Series features
capacity up to 9 TB at typical compression, GbE connectivity, RAID 5, and
field-replaceable components, making it optimized for today’s demanding
requirements for performance and reliability.
Key Features include:
— Automatic Transparent Backup: simplifies backup management tasks with
enforced policy and automated backup, thereby eliminating backup windows.
— Low-Touch Administration: significantly reduces IT backup management
overhead costs, enabling IT to focus on more revenue-related IT projects
— User Self-Directed Restore: provides quick access to protected files
for fast and simple point-and-click, on-demand file restoration without
waiting for IT intervention or recreating lost files, yielding faster
time-to-productivity
— Flexible Disaster Recovery: offers options for offsite or site-to-site
data backup, local archiving, or bare metal recovery to enable fast recovery
of data, applications or entire workstation or server systems after any
disruption, satisfying business continuity initiatives and minimizing business
impact
— Laptop, Desktop and Server Protection: Significantly reduces data loss
by protecting data and databases (SQL, Exchange and Active Directory Servers)
as they are created or changed in real time, transparently and
non-disruptively, to enhance user productivity and server uptime.
The CDP Series from SonicWALL is available
specifically priced for businesses of all sizes with disaster recovery
solutions including the CDP 110, 210, 5040 and 6080.
