SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Series
SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) offers the only complete end-to-end disk-based
backup and recovery solution for SMBs. CDP features automatic transparent backup, user directed restore, flexible disaster recovery options and low-touch administration. With capacity
of up to 9TB 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. An ideal replacement for tape-based systems, CDP solutions provides foolproof,
intuitive continual protection.
In the SOHO scenario above, data on desktops and laptops is transparently backed up to the CDP
appliance, which is then automatically backed up to the CDP Off site Data Backup Service using
SonicWALL’s state-of-the-art Secure Data Center. Additionally, the latest version of backup data can
be archived on a local USB drive for added disaster protection, and complete system images of all
workstations can be written on a secondary external media for Bare Metal Recovery.
CDP solutions ensure reliability and speed recovery by automatically generating e-mail alerts on any compromised connectivity as well as regularlyscheduled
reports on backup activity. 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. CDP solutions secure data using industry-standard
encryption anytime it is transmitted off site, off ering complete business information availability
for servers, desktops and mobile laptops.
Remote Office Branch Office (ROBO)
In the ROBO scenario above, data and applications from workstations and servers at each remote office have
been burned to CDs for Bare Metal Recovery. Data from workstations and servers is transparently and
automatically transmitted to the local CDP appliance at headquarters. Mobile users’ data is
transparently and securely transmitted over SSL VPN to the branch office CDP appliance. The
backup is then securely transmitted site-to-site to a secondary CDP appliance at the central office.
Additionally, the latest version of backup data can be archived on a local USB drive for added disaster
protection.
Features
- Automatic, transparent backup
ensures that data, applications and systems are reliably protected from common user error, hardware failure, deletion, potential disaster and malicious attack.
- User-directed restore
increases user satisfaction and productivity while freeing IT resources.
- Low-touch administration
is delivered through the automation of tedious backup administrative tasks.
- Flexible disaster recovery
options provided are for Off site 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 businesscritical files, folders or applications are backed up, and to assign end-users rights to allow them to retrieve their own data.
- Wide range of models to support SMB.
CDP 110, CDP 210, CDP 5040 and CDP 6080 appliances are scaled to fit the budget, performance, and capacity needs of any SMB.
- Instant data recovery and file versions
ensures 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.
Distributed Environments In this distributed environment scenario, a primary CDP appliance aggregates and centralizes backups from multiple site-to-site connections.
