SonicWall NSa 4700 and 6700: The Newest Next-Generation Firewalls for Medium Enterprises
When it comes to solving business challenges, enterprises are generally eager to adopt new technologies, such as cloud computing, workforce mobility and automation. But now, more than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic massively accelerated the adoption of digital technologies, many enterprises are finding their digital transformation journey laden with new challenges — including a surge in connected devices, encrypted connections, bandwidth needs and continually evolving evasive attacks.
This increase in new potential threat vectors has driven a spike in just about every form of attack. Today, emboldened cybercriminals are launching increasingly sophisticated zero-day attacks, ransomware and more — many of which evade traditional perimeter defenses.
To meet these challenges, IT directors need a highly reliable next-generation firewall (NGFW) — one that can not only scale to support millions of connections, but can also scan these connections for threats over multi-gigabit speeds without compromising performance. It also must be cost-effective, easily manageable, capable of handling high bandwidth, and able to support multiple networks and clouds.
Introducing the SonicWall NSa 4700 and 6700: Gen 7 NGFWs with high-speed connectivity and performance
The SonicWall Network Security Appliance (NSa) 4700 and 6700 NGFWs feature high-speed connectivity, including multiple 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25 and 40 GbE ports. They protect mid-size networks with comprehensive integrated security services, such as malware analysis, encrypted traffic inspection, cloud application security and URL filtering. These NGFWs also support centralized management with a truly intuitive single-user interface, significantly improving operational efficiency.
SonicWall NSa 4700 and 6700 run on the new SonicOS 7.0, and include advanced networking features such as high availability, SD-WAN and dynamic routing. These firewalls combine validated security effectiveness and best-in-class price performance in a single rack unit appliance.
In short, medium enterprises can now get the performance, networking and security capabilities they need from their NGFWs without breaking the bank.
