SonicWALL CDP 5040B

Overview:

Preserve, Replicate, Archive, Govern and Restore Data with Ease

The SonicWALL® Continuous Data Protection (CDP) 6.0 is a next-generation data protection solution that automatically preserves and protects business-relevant data assets against severe data loss from common disasters, by providing administrative policy governance to enforce backup policies for specified users or groups. The solution enables organizations to preserve, replicate, archive, govern and restore data with ease across Windows®, Mac OS® and Linux® platforms from anywhere and at any time. The SonicWALL CDP Series provides a more intelligent and systematic data protection strategy for organizations that are struggling with the reliability and uncertainty of their backup and recovery results.

SonicWALL CDP is a highly reliable, enterprise-grade data protection solution designed to scale from small- to large IT environments. Re-architected from the ground up, the CDP Series delivers highly efficient, globally enforced policy control over the entire backup operation. SonicWALL CDP also optimizes storage and bandwidth utilization through data de-duplication in conjunction with Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Snapshot and the new CDP File Set backup methodology. The CDP Series empowers users to restore and personalize backup rules, while ensuring they comply with universal backup policy determined by IT. Powerful administrative policy streamlines backup operations and manages information assets more efficiently and intelligently.

The CDP 5040B is designed as an upstream unit in a site-to-site data backup environment.

The SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) 6080B is ideal for larger organizations with multiple workstations and server applications, with usable capacity of up to 20 TB, flexible disaster recovery options, RAID 5, and replaceable drives and power supplies. The CDP 6080B is a perfect upstream unit to backup multiple CDP appliances in a site-to-site data backup environment.

Features & Benefits:

• Administrative policy governance enables administrators to globally enforce defined backup policies for specified users or groups ensuring only business-relevant data assets are automatically preserved and protected against common disasters that cause severe data loss.
• Granular backup control rules enables a sustainable data reduction strategy that intelligently identifies, captures and preserves valuable information, while eliminating the costly backup and storage of irrelevant or outdated data.
• Windows Installer support enables administrators to install agents remotely to all devices in an Active Directory network. Once installed, agents can discover and selectively connect to any available CDP device broadcasting on the same domain, and backup can occur almost instantly.
• Multiple backup methodologies allow IT administrators to select from either continuous data protection or point-in-time snap shots providing data recovery and disaster resiliency to support flexible Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and recovery responsiveness.
• Agent-based data de-duplication optimizes storage and bandwidth utilization, as well as significantly increases backup efficiency and performance by eliminating redundant data blocks at the source, enabling IT to drastically shorten backup windows, minimize bandwidth utilization, optimize storage, improve performance and reduce operational costs.
• SonicWALL Global Management System helps distributed enterprises manage policies, reports, diagnostics, backup automation, restores, statistics, licensing information and export and import settings for multiple CDP deployments—at the device, device group or global level—using a simple-yet-robust centralized Web console.
• Recovery manager for Exchange® lets administrators search, compare and restore individual, criteria-specific items—including single messages, multiple mailboxes and public folders—from un-mounted .edb files, without setting up a dedicated recovery server.
• Multi-platform support for Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
• Microsoft® application support for SQL®, Exchange and Sharepoint® servers, System State®, Active Directory® and Outlook®.
• Self-directed file restore enable users to restore their own lost or deleted files instantly, without compromising privacy or security, reducing IT overhead while maximizing user satisfaction and productivity.
• All-in-one integrated software, hardware and storage gives IT an unsurpassed experience with quick and simple deployment out of the box in less than 30 minutes, thus increasing IT productivity and ROI.

Disaster Recovery Options:

CDP Site-to-Site Data 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 Web user interface.

CDP Offsite Data Backup Service automatically encrypts, transmits and stores data using AES 256-bit encryption to the SonicWALL Data Backup 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 Web user interface.

CDP Local Archiving capability allows IT to store the latest version of business-critical data to a USB drive. Designed to help organizations meet regulatory compliance, Local Archiving enables administrators to browse archives and restore individual files. Local archiving is available on both upstream and downstream CDP appliances.

CDP Universal System Recovery applies SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) software to create an exact image of an entire Windows server or workstation including the operating system files, programs, databases and settings. Universal System Recovery wizard-driven interface enables IT administrators to quickly recover an entire system to dissimilar physical or virtual hardware easily, regardless of make, model or installed components.

Key Components:

CDP Appliance operates as a dedicated disk-based backup and disaster recovery appliance, enables all CDP features and functions, including storage, file and application versioning, and offsite encryption and transmission. The SonicWALL CDP appliance is configured and administered via the Web Management Interface.

Web Management Interface provides the system administrator with the ability to create, manage and enforce administrative-level global policies and tasks for agents connected to a SonicWALL CDP appliance. It also provides initial network configuration, system settings, agent and offsite management, diagnostics, logging, reporting, and error handling, and allows for a full purge of data from the appliance.

Agent Software provides individual users and system administrators the ability to configure, create and apply local backup policies, view backup status and recover lost data. With administrative authorization, a user can log in as an administrator to perform data recovery.

Recovery Manager for Exchange (RME) allows individual, message-level items to be restored from regular un-mounted .edb information store files without setting up a dedicated recovery server. It rapidly searches backups and databases for messages based on specified criteria, so it can easily recover from an accidental deletion or perform email discovery. Administrators can recover multiple mailboxes, single messages, public folders and more—all from a single interface. Administrators also can compare source and target folders for differences.

Universal System Recovery protects servers and workstations, their operating systems, and applications such as Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Active Directory and Domain Controller Server®, as well as configuration settings and preferences. In case of a disaster, this enables administrators to quickly recover a complete system to dissimilar physical or virtual environments regardless of make, model, or installed components without having to rebuild a new system from the ground up.
