Greetings! 

 

Are you focused on small businesses?

If so, the below article from The Wall Street Journal, "Hackers Shift Attacks to Small Firms", will interest you. Plus, it provides excellent third-party proof why your small business customers need to make sure they have viable network and data security measures in place, especially an up-to-date, higher-grade firewall such as SonicWALL's newer TZ models or NSA Series. After all, spending the money now to secure a network costs a lot less than the money they may be out of if they get hacked. Just ask . . . Joe Angelastri.

Do you have customers that need a data backup solution or considering the SonicWALL CDP appliance to backup their data?

Have you found it somewhat confusing as to how to quote a SonicWALL CDP unit, especially when it comes to all the additional SKUs listed for their backup appliances?

The below questionaire will help you make sure you quote the correct appliance PLUS the correct licenses and options for your client's particular data backup needs.

P.S. SonicWALL has discontinued multi-year subscription renewals for the TZ 150, TZ 170, and PRO-series models. Only 1-year renewals are available now. They will stop support and renewals for them some time next year. However, they will honor all contracts still in force at the time. Currently, TZ 180's and 190's are not affected, but will follow eventually. Now is the time to upgrade their TZ 150, 170 or PRO Series appliances to the newer, faster, more secure TZ or NSA models.

"Unbeknownst to owner Joe Angelastri, cyber thieves planted a software program on the cash registers at his two Chicago-area magazine shops that sent customer credit-card numbers to Russia. MasterCard Inc. demanded an investigation, at Mr. Angelastri's expense, and the whole ordeal left him out about $22,000."

"After the investigation, Mr. Angelastri sent the report back to his credit-card processing company. It demanded he improve his technology, including installing a new higher-grade firewall. He also cut off access to the open Internet for the computers with the cash register software. Now all they can do is pass information to the credit-card processor."

 

"With limited budgets and few or no technical experts on staff, small businesses generally have weak security. Cyber criminals have taken notice. In 2010, the U.S. Secret Service and Verizon Communications Inc.'s forensic analysis unit, which investigates attacks, responded to a combined 761 data breaches, up from 141 in 2009. Of those, 482, or 63%, were at companies with 100 employees or fewer. Visa Inc. estimates about 95% of the credit-card data breaches it discovers are on its smallest business customers."

Get it Right with SonicWALL CDP Backup & Recovery Appliances!CDP

When it comes to matching your client with the right SonicWALL's CDP appliance, there is more to it than just knowing how much data they need to backup and whether it is compressed or not. What else do you need to know?

 

There are 10 questions that you must know the answers to in order to properly match your client with the right SonicWALL appliance to meet their data backup and recovery needs. There may be some other questions that arise out of the answers provided or that you may think of, but these 10 are the starting point and will cover most scenarios. 

 

We came up with this questionnaire with the assistance of our SonicWALL rep as we were working with two different customers and their backup and recovery needs. Feel free to take the following questions and develop your own questionnaire for your salespeople and technicians to use with your clients considering a SonicWALL CDP appliance.

 

Once you have the answers to the below questions, give us a call (800-880-4200) or email the answers to us at sales@cpu-distrib.com and your account rep will provide you a quote based on the answers provided. If they need further clarification on anything they will ask.

 

Also, the following resources will benefit you and your client in the ecision making process:

(NOTE: Primarily for a company with a single office. If a multi-branch office, then ask these questions for each branch office separately.)

  

1) How much uncompressed data are you backing up total? ________ 

 

2) How many users do you have? __________

 

3) How many servers are you backing up? _______

Note 2: Each CDP appliance model comes with from 0 - 3 Microsoft Application Server Agents and 1 File Server Agent. Additional agents may need to be purchased or moving up to the next model level may need to happen to meet particular backup needs.

 

Note 3: Whether the application is the same or not, and whether on the same server or not, count each application installed separately. For example: If you have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on two separate servers you're backing up, then that counts as TWO Microsoft Applications NOT one.

 

6) How many workstations &/or laptops do you want to back up? ___________

 

Note: Each CDP appliance model comes with from 10 - 250 Workstation/Laptop Agent Licenses. Depending on the model, you may have to purchase additional Agent Licenses or move up to the next higher model.

         yours (i.e. branch office, home, & etc) OR 

     b) Would you prefer to use SonicWALL's Offsite Storage where you back up your CDP to a

         secure disaster resilience data center instead of a secondary CDP appliance you own offsite,

         enabling organizations to  restore mission critical data quickly after any type of catastrophic

         event for business continuity protection? ___________
