SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 Desktop Firewall, Wireless-AC, Secure Upgrade Appliance Only, International
Overview
The SonicWall TZ Series (Gen 7) is an integrated SD-Branch platform for small and midsize businesses and branch offices in a desktop form factor. It runs SonicOS 7 with Secure SD-WAN, zero-touch deployment and management through the cloud or the firewall itself, and it integrates SonicWall Switch, SonicWave access points and Capture Client. The 03-SSC-2785 is the TZ270W Wireless-AC Secure Upgrade appliance for international markets. It carries no attached subscription and is offered only as an upgrade to an existing SonicWall appliance with an active SonicProtect subscription, for international customers. Support and optional security subscriptions are otherwise sold separately.
Technical Details
The SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 is a desktop next-generation firewall running SonicOS 7, with 8×1GbE RJ45. Threat Prevention throughput is 0.75 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled (2 Gbps firewall inspection), and it holds up to 750,000 concurrent SPI connections. The Wireless-AC model adds a 2x2 802.11ac Wave 2 radio. This part number is Appliance Only: SonicWall support and optional security subscriptions are sold separately. It is used at a small office, branch or retail site for internet-edge protection, SD-WAN and site-to-site VPN.
Best For
The TZ270W suits a small office, branch or retail site that needs 0.75 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput and up to 750,000 concurrent SPI connections. It suits existing SonicProtect subscribers upgrading their hardware. Size against the Threat Prevention figure, not the firewall inspection throughput.
Not suitable if:
- your inspected traffic exceeds 0.75 Gbps, the published Threat Prevention throughput
- you need security services included in the part number, since this one is Appliance Only
- you need Power over Ethernet from the firewall, since this model has none
- you do not hold an active SonicProtect subscription, since this upgrade appliance is restricted to SonicProtect customers
- you require rack mounting without an additional kit, since this is a desktop appliance and requires a separate rackmount kit for rack installation

FAQ
Does the SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 include a security subscription?
No. The 03-SSC-2785 is Appliance Only: firewall, VPN and routing run on SonicOS 7, while SonicWall support and security subscriptions such as the Advanced Protection Security Suite are sold separately.
How much traffic can the SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 handle?
SonicWall publishes no user count, so size the TZ270W on its figures. Firewall inspection throughput is 2 Gbps, but Threat Prevention throughput is 0.75 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled; size against that. It holds 750,000 concurrent SPI connections and 150,000 DPI connections, and opens 6,000 new connections per second.
What interfaces does the SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 have?
The TZ270W provides 8×1GbE RJ45. Management and console connectivity is 1×Console, 2×USB 3.0.
Does the SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 support high availability?
The TZ270W supports Active/Standby high availability; stateful synchronization requires SonicWall's optional Stateful HA Upgrade license for the TZ270 series.
What is the difference between the TZ270W and the TZ270?
The TZ270W adds an integrated radio to the TZ270; firewall inspection, Threat Prevention and connection figures are the same series figures. Maximum power consumption is 18.91 W on the TZ270W against 16.84 W on the TZ270.
Does the SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 have built-in Wi-Fi?
Yes. The TZ270W is the Wireless-AC model, with a 2x2 802.11ac Wave 2 radio, and SonicWall's datasheet notes that the integrated wireless models support either the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band rather than both at once. For larger wireless deployments SonicWall pairs its firewalls with SonicWave access points.
Who can buy the 03-SSC-2785?
Only existing SonicWall customers. SonicWall offers the 03-SSC-2785 only as an upgrade to an existing SonicWall appliance with an active SonicProtect subscription, and it carries no attached subscription. Network Devices Inc. confirms eligibility before ordering.
Does the 03-SSC-2785 include SonicWall support?
Support is not included with an Appliance Only part number. SonicWall support and optional security subscriptions are sold separately, and Network Devices Inc. confirms the correct support option before the order is placed.
How is the SonicWall TZ270W 03-SSC-2785 managed?
The TZ270W is managed through Network Security Manager (NSM), and locally through the SonicOS web interface and CLI. Firewall policy, SD-WAN, VPN and high availability are configured on the appliance; the security services on it are licensed separately unless this part number bundles them. SonicWall includes centralized management and alerting as part of support, so NSM management needs an active support contract or security bundle.
What condition is the 03-SSC-2785 sold in, and what warranty applies?
Network Devices Inc. supplies the 03-SSC-2785 new and factory sealed. It is covered by a one-year Network Devices Inc. warranty and a 30-day return window. Orders ship from our New Jersey and Texas warehouses.
