SonicWall NSA Series
(Wireless appliances available in NSA 220 and 250M models only)
The NSA Series Next-Generation Firewall provides security, reliability, and performance for distributed enterprises, small- to medium-sized organizations, branch offices, school campuses and government agencies. The NSA Series minimizes deployment cost and complexity by integrating multiple technologies into a single security appliance.

Next Generation Firewall Security: A suite of tools, including intrusion prevention, gateway anti-virus, and anti-spyware plus application intelligence and control, offer granular control through application blocking, bandwidth management and more. Additional security and connectivity capabilities such as IPSec VPN, SSL VPN, content filtering, anti-spam and enforced client anti-virus make the NSA Series a comprehensive and powerful all-in-one security solution.

Multi-core Architecture:
Single-core and ASIC processors may have been sufficient for the design of traditional stateful firewalls. But NSA Series appliances go above and beyond, with a multi-core design to help ensure that the deep packet inspection provided by the SonicWall Next-Generation Firewall can scale with your expanding organization. As many as 24 cores spread the network load evenly and protect against extreme performance degradation often present in other technologies when exposed to heavy traffic conditions and malicious content.

Deep Packet Inspection Technology:
Proprietary SonicWall Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) technology offers extremely high scalability and performance suitable for even the most demanding environments. RFDPI scans traffic on every port, on every protocol and in any direction to provide ultimate visibility and control. The unique design of the RFDPI engine allows it to inspect every byte of a connection—and up to hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections—in order to categorize application traffic and protect against internal and external threats at both the application and network layer.

Lowered Complexity Costs:
Along with superior power efficiency, SonicWall NSA Series appliances lower the total cost of ownership by reducing complexity and the time necessary to configure, deploy and maintain security solutions. An intuitive GUI and powerful set-up wizards make it easy to quickly set up and fine-tune network policies, application rules, VPN connections and more.

Enterprise-class security and performance made affordable for small- to medium-sized business. The NSA Series offers industry leading next-generation firewall protection, performance, and scalability.

The NSA Series appliances are available in a TotalSecure model which is simply the appliance bundled with 1 year of Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite (CGSS)*. All NSA Series appliances are also available as upgrades through SonicWall's Secure Upgrade Plus 2 or 3-year CGSS* program. The Secure Upgrade Plus appliances are bundled with 2 or 3 years of CGSS*. This upgrade path can be used to upgrade from an earlier qualifying SonicWALL model or a qualifying competitive brand firewall.

Each NSA model also available in an High Availability (HA) appliance. The NSA HA model must also match the primary NSA appliance you are using and wanting to institute fail over for.
