Your organization faces unprecedented security challenges. The sophistication and volume of attacks increase exponentially, resulting in lost company, personal and customer data, stolen intellectual property, damaged reputations and lost productivity. Security is more complex. You need to clarify what is important when assessing alternatives. With the (bring your own) BYO revolution, the explosion of personal devices connecting to the network, led by smartphones and tablets, slows performance and decreases productivity. Also, mobile applications, such as social media and video streaming, consume an enormous amount of bandwidth. This creates two distinct problems: ensuring security and maintaining productivity. IT managers often compromise security by turning of features to maintain network performance.
Now your organization can be both secure and productive without compromising network performance. The Dell™ SonicWALL™ Network Security Appliance (NSA) Series is the one of the most secure, highest performing Next-Generation Firewall lines. It delivers enterprise-class security and performance without compromise, using the same architecture as the flagship SuperMassive Next-Generation Firewall line—initially developed for the world’s most demanding carriers and enterprises. At the same time, it offers Dell’s acclaimed ease of use and high value. Based on years of research and development, the NSA Series is designed from the ground up for distributed enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses, branch offices, school campuses and government agencies. The NSA Series combines a revolutionary multi-core architecture with a patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® (RFDPI) single-pass threatprevention engine in a massively scalable design. This offers industry-leading protection, performance, and scalability, with the highest number of concurrent connections, lowest latency, and most connections-per-second in its class with no file size limitations. Highly respected independent third-party testing firms have evaluated and/or certified the technology for your confidence and assurance.
Unlike antiquated two-box solutions that do not share threat information, the NSA Series integrates firewall and IPS. This connected intelligence enforces policy decisions to intensify security effectiveness, while slashing management burdens and organizational risk. The Dell SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS) enables distributed enterprises to manage thousands of SonicWALL security appliances over a consolidated single-pane-of-glass view, easing administration and reducing total cost of ownership. Comprehensive real-time visualization shows you what is happening on your network with thorough on-box and off-box reporting.
