Easy-to-Use SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection Provides Fast and Reliable Data Backup and Recovery SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNWL) today announced that REgrid Power, a California-based solar power design, installation, and services company, has chosen SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to provide reliable and effective data backup and recovery, enabling REgrid to protect their business-critical data quickly and easily, without experiencing network downtime or lost data. As a rapidly growing small business, REgrid found that backing up data had become time consuming and unreliable, requiring REgrid's computer administrator to copy important data manually to a DVD and remember to take the disks offsite. The backup usually took place at the end of the day, exposing the company to the risk of losing data created since the last backup. Working with its IT solution provider, Aronson & Associates, Inc., REgrid investigated a number of backup options before selecting SonicWALL CDP as an easy to use, reliable system. The technology was quickly installed, and now provides end-to-end protection, helping REgrid to increase productivity and reduce administrative costs. SonicWALL CDP has already proven itself to the REgrid team. Recently, an employee was working with the customer database and noticed some critical data had been lost. With the continuous backup feature, the data was recovered remotely by Aronson & Associates in just a couple of minutes. This experience reinforced REgrid's confidence in the selection of the SonicWALL solution as well as underscoring the importance of continuous backup. Recalls McCalmont, "Thankfully, a crucial file was recovered quickly. Now if we have more dramatic issues, we know we could recover. Having SonicWALL CDP is a relief. It works 'automagically."" SonicWALL CDP solutions deliver simple, comprehensive and cost-effective secure backup that avoids the complexity and inefficiency of tape, and provides easy recovery of data in the event of disasters. The solution features secure automatic, disk-to-disk local and offsite data protection, instant recovery and central or remote administrative capabilities. The Bare Metal Recovery/Local Archiving feature allows administrators to recover an entire system, including operating system, files and settings through a simple management interface. After experiencing the reliability and ease-of-use of the SonicWALL CDP, REgrid is now also using the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless firewall to deliver enhanced security for their corporate network. Integrating secure 802.11b/g wireless, firewall and VPN technologies, the TZ 170 Wireless protects against both new and existing threats pervasive on today's wired and wireless networks, allowing small networks to experience productivity and business continuity benefits previously reserved for larger enterprises.
