MUMBAI

DECEMBER 20, 2006

SonicWall, a provider of continuous data protection and network, Web
and email security solutions, recently announced the availability of its
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Version 2.2 backup and recovery solutions.
SonicWall CDP solutions cover all available options including instant recovery
and local archiving, offsite data backup and bare metal recovery.

SonicWall CDP is the only appliance-based solution available today that
provides both onsite and offsite data protection for the small to mid-sized
business (SMB) market. Available through SonicWall's extensive worldwide channel
network, this simple and effective secure backup solution enables users to avoid
the complexity and inefficiency of tape while providing easy recovery of data in
the event of disasters.

The SonicWall CDP Version 2.2 is available in four models, which scale
from 15 to an unrestricted number of users: the CDP 1440i, the CDP 2440i, the
CDP 3440i and the CDP 4440i.

"SonicWall CDP 2.2 is a unique and effective data protection solution,"
said Shubhomoy Biswas, Country Manager-India, SonicWall. "The new SonicWall CDP
solutions offer SMB users and their IT providers worldwide more of what they
need -- technology that solves problems rather than adding to their
administrative burden. We are pleased to provide this enhancement to the product
line just seven months after the initial introduction of SonicWall CDP."

The SonicWall CDP series helps reduce business costs by enabling users
to manage backup and recovery either onsite or remotely, without the need for
manual intervention. Features include a simple user interface enabling fast
retrieval of current and previous file versions, and reporting tools, which
facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements.

The risk of permanent data loss is reduced because backup occurs on an
ongoing basis rather than at fixed time intervals. The SonicWall CDP detects and
automatically saves new or changed files in real time, even when files are open.

The SonicWall CDP also features bare-metal recovery and local archiving
capabilities, which accelerate the time to recovery after a major failure. Using
the SonicWall Bare Metal/Local Archiving, administrators can recover an entire
system through a single management interface. Using this interface, users are
able to restore the operating system, settings and applications of workstations
and servers. Users can also locally archive just the data partition of their
servers, thus providing a single point in time (SPIT) image of data their
network.
