SonicWALL CDP is the only turn-key, end-to-end data protection solution on the market. Supporting continuous data protection (CDP), remote laptops, servers, and both local and offsite backup, SonicWALL CDP is a simple-to-implement, simple-to-install, hands and hassle free solution.

Local and Offsite Protection Backup stored only locally exposes the business to risk of data loss from power surges, theft, server crashes, viruses, and building fires. Backup stored only offsite is a strong archiving methodology, but recovery time is extremely slow – perhaps days. Backup MUST be local, and offsite. SonicWALL CDP solves this requirement by replicating data locally and also to a secure offsite location, hands and hassle free. Therefore, the appliance eliminates  the requirement for notoriously unreliable tape systems, and expensive offsite protection.

Continuous Data Protection SonicWALL CDP captures all versions of a file, not just those versions that existed during a backup cycle. Therefore, if a file is lost in-between a backup cycle, SonicWALL CDP is able to restore it immediately. In fact, with SonicWALL CDP users can dial back one minute, one hour, one day, or to any point they want. If a file is corrupted, accidentally overwritten, or infected with a virus, users can dial back to a moment before the interruption.

Unlimited File Versions (Active Protection) SonicWALL CDP saves every version of every file, not just the latest version. Therefore, any user on the network can instantly retrieve previous versions of a document - even after they have saved over it. For example, an attorney can instantly retrieve previous versions of a legal brief he accidentally saved over. This active backup feature provides a low cost document management alternative.

Application Support SonicWALL CDP supports most small business applications including ACT!, Goldmine, QuickBooks, Peachtree, Outlook, and Outlook Express, as well as most industry specific applications. It also supports open files, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Microsoft Small Business Server, and other database packages including Microsoft Access, DBASE, and MYSQL. SonicWALL CDP supports all file types including, but not limited to, Microsoft Office, Adobe, Macromedia, and all picture formats.

Security Data is secured by the same 256-bit secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technologies that major financial institutions and government installations implement. SonicWALL CDP also utilizes public-key encryption and digital certificates as an additional layer of protection. Finally, every SonicWALL CDP customer is provided secure email address & password authentication.
