When disasters strike, small-to-medium-size businesses (SMBs) are more financially sensitive to business disruption than larger enterprises. This is because SMBs are more vulnerable to lost revenues and productivity when vital business systems and data become unavailable. In today's highly-competitive 24x7 marketplace, losing even a single day's data—including communications and transactions with prospects, customers, suppliers and partners—can put an SMB at risk of going out of business. In an emergency, it is essential for SMBs to minimize business systems downtime and quickly recover crucial data and applications.

Single-site backups alone are inadequate protection against fires, floods, earthquakes, or any other disaster that could make the primary site inaccessible or unviable. For fully effective disaster recovery, SMBs also need redundant backups at secondary data storage sites. Yet SMBs struggle to find solutions that offer comprehensive offsite or site-to-site backup and disaster recovery options, while still remaining cost-effective within SMB budgets. SonicWALL® Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solutions provide automatic transparent onsite and offsite backup, as well as flexible disaster recovery options to fit the needs and budgets of any SMB, including Local Archiving, Bare Metal Recovery, Offsite Data Backup, and Site-to-Site Data Backup.

The SonicWALL CDP Site-to-Site Data Backup solution automatically replicates mission-critical data to a secondary offsite CDP appliance. All data is securely transmitted and encrypted in flight and at rest using industry 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Because the offsite appliance always stores the latest version of mission-critical data, administrators can easily recovery data and get SMB systems up and running quickly after a disaster.

Offsite Data Backup and Rapid Recovery of Data

SonicWALL CDP Site-to-Site Backup allows the administrator to perform rapid data recovery when local data has
been rendered unrecoverable. Data should be recovered from another CDP in the event that a disaster renders local
data corrupted, destroyed or otherwise unrecoverable.
