CDP delivers automatic, transparent backup that ensures data, applications and systems are reliably protected from common user error, hardware failure, deletion, potential disaster and malicious attack. An ideal replacement for tape-based systems, CDP solutions provides foolproof, intuitive continual protection.

CDP automates tedious backup administrative tasks, providing an easy-to-manage, low-touch solution. CDP solutions ensure reliability and speed recovery by automatically generating e-mail alerts on any compromised connectivity and regularly-scheduled reports on backup activity.

CDP provides flexible disaster recovery options, including SonicWALL Offsite Data Backup, SonicWALL Site-to-Site Data Backup and SonicWALL Local Archiving, as well as SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery of complete systems—OS, files, applications, databases and settings—in just minutes. Extensible across multiple platforms including Windows and Linux®, CDP solutions can instantly recover data, applications or entire workstation or server systems onto original, new or virtual devices with SonicWALL Universal Restore.

By enabling end-users to securely restore their own files, CDP increases user satisfaction and productivity while freeing IT resources.

Enforcing policy-based backup ensures control of all business critical data, while avoiding the increased costs of backing up non-business related files such as personal music, videos and pictures. Administrators can easily pre-configure set policies to ensure that specific business-critical files, folders or applications are backed up, and to assign end-users rights to allow them to retrieve their own data.

SonicWALL offers a wide range of CDP appliance models scaled to fit the budget, performance, and capacity needs of any SMB. With capacity up to 9 TB at typical 2:1 compression, GbE connectivity, RAID 5 and replaceable components, CDP solutions are designed to meet today’s demanding requirements for performance and reliability.

With CDP, all files are instantly continually available in multiple historic versions, and all servers and server applications—including, Exchange, SQL Server and Active Directory—are protected with multiple-point-in-time recovery in case of disaster. CDP version catalogs minimize downtime by enabling easy, instant, pick-and-click data recovery of files.

Administrators can log in to Enterprise Manager on a CDP appliance from any remote location to manage policy and settings, view statistics, and pre-set backup of files, folders or applications, resulting in more flexible disaster recovery and increased service levels. CDP solutions secure data using industry-standard encryption anytime it is transmitted off site, offering complete business information availability for servers, desktops and mobile laptops.
