The SonicWALL E-Class NSA Series. The E-Class NSA appliances, deployed as either Next-Generation Firewalls or as Unified Threat Management Firewalls, are engineered to be the most scalable, high-performance and reliable multi-function threat appliances in their class. Taking protection to new levels of control, application intelligence, control and visualization capabilities offer a complete view into network traffic and a set of customizable policies affording administrators highly granular control over applications and users on the network.
To meet the operational reliability enterprise-class networks demand, the E-Class NSA Series incorporates a suite of high availability features at the hardware and system levels to maximize uptime and improve security coverage. The E-Class NSA Series lowers management complexity by providing an extensive array of advanced network configuration features that ease deployment and integration. This makes E-Class NSA an ideal solution for organizations that require high-performance network security deployed across a wide variety of environments.
Comprised of the SonicWALL E-Class NSA E8510, E8500, E7500, E6500 and E5500, the E-Class NSA Series offers a
scalable range of solutions designed to meet the network security needs of enterprise deployments including distributed environments, campus networks and data centers.
The SonicWALL E-Class NSA Series delivers powerful threat prevention against a vast spectrum of network attacks with unprecedented speed, thanks to multi-core performance architecture. Through the concurrent use of up to 16 specialized security processing cores, the E-Class NSA is engineered to provide breakthrough deep packet inspection and granular network intelligence over real-time network traffic without impacting network performance. Utilizing the processing power of these multiple cores in unison dramatically increases throughput and simultaneous inspection capabilities while lowering overhead impact.
Taking protection to new levels of control is the SonicWALL Application Intelligence Service, a set of customizable protection tools that empowers administrators with precise control over network traffic. This configurable set of granular application-specific policies can automate bandwidth management, control internal and external Web access, restrict transfer of specific files and documents, scan email attachments through user-configurable criteria and support custom signatures.
Designed for highly redundant operations, E-Class NSA appliances are ideal solutions for wired or wireless deployments requiring high-speed access and heavy workgroup segmentation. With integrated support for standards-based VoIP, virtual local area networks (VLANs), enterprise-class routing and quality of service (QoS), E-Class NSAs increase deployment flexibility and enhance productivity.
Dynamic threat protection, content filtering and Application Intelligence services are continually updated on a 24x7 basis to maximize security and decrease cost. IT productivity is increased by eliminating ad-hoc patch management for servers and workstations, automating the application of new protection signatures and removing the necessity to manually update security policies.
