SonicWALL Launches NSA 240 to Address Challenges of Application Management & Bandwidth Growth
SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNWL), a leading secure network infrastructure company, today expanded its family of high-performance network security appliances with the release of the SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) 240.
The NSA Series is the next generation of Unified Threat Management (UTM) designed specifically to address the challenges of application management and bandwidth growth by enabling network and security administrators to regain control over network traffic without compromising performance.
"The NSA 240 represents the fruition of our goal to create a leading edge Unified Threat Management Appliance targeted at branch offices, that delivers enterprise-class security and application management in a single, easy to use, easy to deploy appliance," said Patrick Sweeney, Vice President of Network Security, SonicWALL. "This product is going to shake up the market. We are the industry leaders in providing Re-Assembly Free Deep Packet Inspection™ (RFDPI), Intrusion Protection, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Content Filtering, and Application Management in a single, affordable desktop appliance that delivers stunning throughput."
Today's network and security administrators face an ever-more complex set of challenges as bandwidth usage continues to increase, reliable network services are mandatory and new applications such as SaaS, Web 2.0, social networking and streaming media dominate network traffic. Such use cases and applications present overwhelming security issues for branch offices and corporate networks-and administrators can no longer afford the tradeoffs between security and performance. Customers require a much greater level of network and application inspection without compromising the ever-growing throughput requirements of today's complex communication networks.
"By combining multiple technologies into a single appliance solution, the NSA 240 will surely revolutionize branch office security while dramatically increasing the productivity of networks and removing the tradeoffs administrators make between security and performance,” said Shahnawaz Sheikh, SonicWall's Regional Sales Manager of Middle East and Africa (MEA). “Moreover, the NSA 240 will help protect networks against a comprehensive array of network security and content attacks, delivering granular inspection and control over a variety of networked applications and accelerating overall network performance.”
The NSA 240 utilizes the award-winning SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS), which provides administrators with the tools to easily configure enforce and manage global security policies, VPN and services from a central location. The NSA 240 is immediately in the Middle East.
