SonicWALL, Inc., the provider of intelligent network security and data protection solutions, has launched its next generation of Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solutions. Built from the ground up with an entirely new architecture, SonicWALL CDP 6.0 automatically preserves and protects business-relevant data assets against loss from file, device, and location based disasters. With support for Windows, Linux and Mac OS, CDP provides granular, globally enforced policy controls over the entire backup operation. CDP 6.0 supports Microsoft applications including SQL, Exchange and SharePoint servers, Active Directory and Small Business Servers.
The new CDP provides a new fileset backup methodology combined with agent-based data de-duplication moves and stores only unique data blocks. This speeds the backup process and optimises bandwidth usage while maintaining total information continuity and the ability to flexibly restore multiple revisions.
Streamlined recovery phase, with multiple disaster recovery options that provide complete data recovery even if the primary data site is compromised, dramatically lowering administrative overhead and increasing workforce productivity. Recovery options include offsite data backup service, site-to-site data backup and local archiving to a local NTFS formatted USB 2.0 drive that can be physically transported offsite.
Its features include granular backup policy and control helps IT efficiently capture, filter and preserve valuable data while eliminating irrelevant and aged data from the backup set. Centralised user policy and control services enable IT to perform Windows based silent agent installation to one or more remote computer users in an active directory network and pre-configure all agents to be connected to any available CDP device broadcasting on the same domain.
Scalability through enterprise agent software allows growing enterprises to add client connections and expand platform and application coverage. CDP 6.0 scales to support the most popular business and client applications, and protects any computing system, ranging from single workstations to large multi-platform server farms, including the latest Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems.
In addition to these features, the new CDP 6.0 solution has been designed to help IT meet compliance and legal requirements, ensuring that mission-critical intellectual property and compliance data in e-mail and on the network is automatically protected against file, device and location based disasters that can cause data loss.
“Risk management and compliance mandates are issues forcing IT to rethink data protection, data availability, data preservation, and disaster recovery readiness and responsiveness,” said Ken Dang, Product Manager, CDP at SonicWALL. “SonicWALL CDP 6.0 governs information growth effectively in real time. It scales up to midsize and larger organisations, providing options to preserve, replicate, archive, govern and restore greater amounts of data, across Windows, Mac OS and Linux platforms, and at a lower price than its predecessor devices.”
SonicWALL also officially launched the latest version of SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS).
