Threat Prevention throughput is 6 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled (8 Gbps firewall inspection), and it holds up to 2,000,000 concurrent SPI connections. This part number bundles the appliance with Secure Upgrade Plus Advanced Edition for 2 years (24 months). It is used at a campus or main-office internet edge, in the DMZ and between user and server segments.
Best For
The NSa 2800 suits a campus or main-office internet edge that needs 6 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput and up to 2,000,000 concurrent SPI connections. It suits buyers who want Secure Upgrade Plus Advanced Edition for 2 years activated with the hardware. Size against the Threat Prevention figure, not the firewall inspection throughput.
Not suitable if:
- your inspected traffic exceeds 6 Gbps, the published Threat Prevention throughput
- you are not eligible for SonicWall's upgrade program, since this part number is restricted
