In this digital age data is a valuable commodity that no company can afford to lose. Vital documents and files are lost or destroyed every day causing organisations to lose huge amounts of time, money and manpower. Examples are:

• Minimal capital outlay
• Laptops lost or stolen
• Hard drives corrupting or breaking
• Documents deleted or irreparably altered due to human error
• PCs, laptops and workstations being damaged

Many organisations have highly complex and expensive data backup solutions, which require expertise and time to implement, manage and maintain. However, the 7global SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) service is a simple yet highly effective method of ensuring that valuable data is always protected and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

Any backup is only as reliable as its ability to restore business data and applications when they are needed most. The 7global managed SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Series offers the only complete end-to-end backup and recovery solution for SMBs.

An ideal replacement for tape-based systems, CDP provides foolproof, intuitive, continual protection. No other solution offers such comprehensive protection at such an affordable monthly price.

• Automatic transparent backup
  CDP delivers automatic, transparent backup that ensures data, applications and systems are reliably protected from common user error, hardware failure, deletion, potential disaster and malicious attack.
   
• User-directed restore.
  By enabling end-users to securely restore their own files, CDP increases user satisfaction and productivity while freeing IT resources.
   
• Enforce policy-based backup.
  Policy-based backup ensures 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
   
• Instant recovery and file versions.
  With CDP, all files are instantly continually available in multiple historic versions, and all servers and server applications—including, Exchange, SQL Server and Active Directory—are protected with multiple-point-in-time recovery in case of disaster. CDP version catalogues minimise downtime by enabling easy, instant, pick-and-click data recovery of files.
   
• Bandwidth management.
  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.
   
• Bare Metal Restore.
  BMR protects servers, their operating systems, and applications such as Exchange, Active Directory, and SQL Server, as well as configuration settings and preferences such that a complete server or workstation can be quickly recovered in the case of disaster without having to reinstall each individual application separately.
