Overview
Theft, viruses, system crashes, and misplaced or stolen backup tapes are driving
demand for reliable, disk-based backup solutions. In fact, business owners are estimated
to spend $6.7 billion in 2010 on data protection technologies, up 30% from 2005.
CDP Backup & Recovery solutions provide automatic, real-time data backup for
servers, laptops and PCs. The solution backs up files first locally to ensure data
can be recovered instantly from any previous point in time. It also includes hands-free,
automatic offsite capabilities to protect businesses against disasters. Together,
the automatic, hassle-free local and offsite capabilities solve the pains related
to existing backup systems. Importantly, the CDP series of products back up only
block level differences within each file, and then compresses them so the network
is not impacted or compromised. Also, central management and remote administration
features allow IT administrators to operate efficiently and effectively
Tapeless, Enterprise-level Data Protection Without the Price Tag
Fast recovery time objectives and backup tape performance problems are driving demand
for high-speed disk-based backup. CDP provides enterprise-class features such as
continuous data protection, remote management and hands-free offsite backup - without
enterprise-class cost.
CDP for Your Business
CDP was developed specifically with the small-to-medium business in mind - there
are no tapes or disks to manage and the appliance includes simple, centralized administration.
With the highest standards of reliability, data integrity and security, CDP protects
your business, not just your data.
If You're Using Tape Backup
Tape backup systems are unreliable and prone to human error. Data recovery from
backup tapes fail more than 50% of the time, and can be up to 400x slower than recovering
data from a disk. Most taxing is the cost and effort it takes to administer tape
backup systems - rotating tapes, checking them and transporting them offsite. Why
use tape backup when there is CDP?
