CDP

Low-touch administration features automation of tedious backup administrative tasks, including seamless automatic software updates with no administrator intervention required.

Flexible disaster recovery options provided are for Offsite Data Backup, Site-to-Site Data Backup and Local Archiving, as well as Bare Metal Recovery of complete systems—OS, files, applications, databases and settings— in just minutes.

Enforced policy-based backup provides the peace of mind that comes with being in 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 preconfigure 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.

Instant data recovery and file versionsensures that all files are instantly and continually available in multiple historic versions, and also that all servers and their 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 and even individual Exchange Mailboxes.

Remote management enables administrators to 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.

VSS Snapshot Service safely enables CDP to freeze large and frequently changing files to be backed up from the snapshot thus preventing the aborted transfers that occur when a file is written to while it is being backed up. This ensures files are reliably backed up every time.

Robust management and reporting enables administrators to flexibly manage policy and settings, view statistics and analytical reports, enable or disable specific general alerts, and pre-set backup of files, folders or applications. Administrators can administer multiple CDP appliances using SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS), or remotely log in to manage a CDP appliance directly from any location.

Granular bandwidth controls enable administrators to set maximum allowable concurrent threads for optimal backup performance, or throttle bandwidth available to CDP to open throughput to other mission-critical applications during peak business hours.

• Offsite: The SonicWALL CDP Offsite Data Backup Service automatically transmits and stores data using AES 256-bit encryption to a secure data center. In the event the local CDP appliance is no longer viable, IT Administrators can easily recover the latest version of data through the CDP Offsite Web Portal.
• Site-to-Site: SonicWALL CDP Site-to-Site Backup automatically transmits and stores data using secure AES 256-bit encryption to another CDP appliance at a remote site. In the event the local CDP appliance is no longer viable, IT Administrators can easily recover the latest version of data through an easy-to-use interface.
• Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) with Universal Restore:SonicWALL BMR software creates an exact image of an entire server or workstation including the operating system files, programs, databases and settings. BMR’s wizard-driven interface enables IT administrators to easily recover an entire system to dissimilar physical or virtual hardware regardless of make, model or installed components, from within minutes to hours.
• Local Archiving:SonicWALL CDP’s Local Archiving capability allows IT to store the latest version of business-critical data to a USB drive. Designed to help SMBs meet regulatory compliance, Local Archiving enables administrators to explore archives and restore individual files.
•  Complete End-to-end Backup and Recovery to Meet Every SMB NeedThe SonicWALL CDP Series provides a flexible, extensible solution that can scale to meet the budget, performance and capacity needs of any SMB.
