Small Office Home Office (SOHO)

In this SOHO scenario, data on desktops and laptops is transparently backed up to the CDP appliance, which is then automatically backed up to the CDP Offsite Data Backup Service using SonicWALL’s state-of-the-art Secure Data Centre. Additionally, the latest version of backup data can be archived on a local USB drive for added disaster protection, and complete system images of all workstations can be written on a secondary external media for Bare Metal Recovery.

Remote Office Branch Office (ROBO)

In this ROBO scenario, data and applications from workstations and servers at each remote office have been burned to CDs for Bare Metal Recovery. Data from workstations and servers is transparently and automatically transmitted to the local CDP appliance at headquarters. Mobile users’ data is transparently and securely transmitted over SSL VPN to the branch office CDP appliance. The backup is then securely transmitted site-to-site to a secondary CDP appliance at the central office. Additionally, the latest version of backup data can be archived on a local USB drive for added disaster protection.

Distributed Environments

In this distributed environment scenario, a primary CDP appliance aggregates and centralizes backups from multiple site-to-site connections.
