SonicWALL Inc. announced that Akorri has deployed two SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) 3440is and a SonicWALL CDP 5040 for the company's backup and recovery needs, eliminating the need for nightly backup windows. The company is currently using the SonicWALL CDP appliances for server-based backup.

SonicWALL, Inc. announced the company is working closely with ConnectWise towards deeper integration between the SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS) and Connectwise, Inc.'s Professional Services Automation (PSA) Software. ConnectWise PSA will leverage the Web Services Application Programming Interface (API) which is part of the upcoming 6.0 release of SonicWALL GMS. GMS 6.0 is tentatively scheduled for release later in the fourth quarter of 2009. The required update to the ConnectWise PSA product is tentatively scheduled to be available sometime in the first half of 2010 at which time customers will be able to benefit from the enhanced integration options. The Web Services API is one of many new features available in the upcoming SonicWALL GMS 6.0 release. With GMS 6.0, SonicWALL extends appliance management beyond Network Security and Secure Remote Access to encompass Email Security and Continuous Data Protection, thereby enabling enterprises and MSPs to centrally manage an entire distributed SonicWALL security infrastructure. Features added in GMS 6.0 may include: With GMS 6.0, GMS administrators can define and push policies for Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and Email Security appliances at the device, device group, or global level. Expanding granular management coverage to the CDP and Email Security product lines greatly enlarges the applicability of GMS; Application Firewall reporting for greater visibility into the impact and effectiveness of application firewall policies and thus increase employee productivity and efficiency of network usage.
