By consolidating security around SonicWALL® Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewalls, your organization can eliminate the risks of managing separate point products and decrease cost and complexity as well. Moreover, compared to the other UTM options, SonicWALL's solution provides greater protection over other less-sophisticated choices and gives both large enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) the ability to:
-
1Provide comprehensive protection by capitalizing on the full range of integrated Comprehensive Anti-Spam, Clean VPN, Clean Wireless, Application Intelligence, and UTM protection built on a high-performance hardware architecture that can deliver seamlessly coordinated protection without compromising network throughput.
-
2Reduce the cost and complexity associated with acquiring, deploying, operating and administering separate multi-point products by consolidating multiple security technologies in one easy-to-use, affordable UTM appliance—as well as enabling comprehensive monitoring and management of all security infrastructure from a single Global Management System (GMS) console.
In today's economy, businesses and their IT organizations need to do more with less. Leading enterprises are already reaping benefits through IT consolidation, by centralizing data centers and embracing virtualization initiatives. Now, both large enterprises and SMBs have the opportunity to optimize productivity and minimize total cost of ownership (TCO) by consolidating multiple security technologies in a single SonicWALL UTM solution.
Moreover, SonicWALL UTM firewalls maximize security against Web 2.0-based threats from social media sites and microblogs, threats from laptops and wireless mobile devices connecting from outside the corporate network, threats from malware-laden email, and threats to productivity and network performance from streaming music or video sites.
Point Solutions: More IT Time and Effort
The volume, diversity, and sophistication of network threats continue to grow, and network entry points now include mobile devices and automated Web 2.0 interfaces. Unless IT can provide comprehensive and up-to-date protection, the organization is exposed to malware infections, stifled productivity and regulatory non-compliance issues. Traditional standalone point products may not work seamlessly together to provide comprehensive protection. In addition, point products demand substantial manual integration and countless administrative hours to provide the semblance of coordinated defense. Each added point product can drive up IT costs with separate expenses for staff resource time spent in training, deployment, maintenance and administration. IT simply can't keep up.
Consolidated Security: Efficient and Seamless Protection
Multi-layered UTM solutions enable organizations to deploy broader and better-coordinated security countermeasures easily and efficiently. However, many UTM options offer only a baseline of core traditional security tools (e.g., stateful packet inspection firewall, IPSec VPN, intrusion detection/prevention and anti-virus capabilities), although some solutions may also incorporate anti-spyware and content filtering.
To get the advanced security tools you'll need today and tomorrow, including SSL VPN, secure wireless, comprehensive anti-spam and application filtering, you would still need to add, deploy and manage separate appliances, all of which runs counter to the philosophy of seamless protection and efficient management benefits of consolidation.
Now SonicWALL overcomes the limitations of these other UTM offerings and the challenges of multiple point solutions by consolidating all critical advanced features onto a single high-speed, Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection™ platform, providing sophisticated protection for both the enterprise and SMB.
SonicWALL Best-in-Class Consolidated Security for the Enterprise
Enterprises can maximize security effectiveness and IT efficiency by consolidating multiple enterprise-class countermeasures into one comprehensive SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) or NSA Series UTM solution at the corporate gateway. These deployments can also be enhanced with the SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS) to simplify management of the entire SonicWALL infrastructure across distributed locations from one central console, reduce administrative overhead, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

Multi-function Appliances
The SonicWALL NSA and E-Class NSA Series are engineered to be the most scalable, reliable and highest performing multifunction threat appliances in their class. learn more...Highest Performing
Multi-function AppliancesBoth the NSA and E-Class Series apply next-generation Unified Threat Management (UTM) against a comprehensive array of attacks, combining intrusion prevention, anti-virus and antispyware with the application-level control of SonicWALL Application Firewall. With advanced routing, stateful high-availability, NSAs and E-Class NSAs add security, reliability, functionality and productivity, while also minimizing cost and complexity by consolidating multiple advanced countermeasures into an easily managed solution. Easily integrated into existing environments, NSAs and E-Class NSAs centralize gateway-level protection across all incoming and outgoing applications, files and content-based traffic, while controlling bandwidth and applications.
The NSA and E-Class NSA Series overcome the limitations of traditional stateful packet inspection products (which only scan headers and miss threats hidden in data) by scanning the entirety of each packet for current internal and external threats in real time. Built on a high-speed multi-core processing platform, NSAs and E-Class NSAs enable deep packet inspection without diminishing the performance of mission-critical networks and applications.
