E-Class Network Security Appliance Series

High performance and powerful protection for the enterprise.

The Dell™ SonicWALL™ E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) Series is an industry first—using patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection™* (RFDPI) technology in combination with multi-core specialized security microprocessors to deliver gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and Application Intelligence at high speed—without sacrificing network performance.

multicore
Multi-core performance architecture.

The Dell SonicWALL E-Class NSA Series delivers powerful threat prevention against a vast spectrum of network attacks with unprecedented speed, thanks to multi-core performance architecture. Through the concurrent use of up to 16 specialized security processing cores, the E-Class NSA is engineered to provide breakthrough deep packet inspection and granular network intelligence over real-time network traffic without impacting network performance. Utilizing the processing power of these multiple cores in unison dramatically increases throughput and simultaneous inspection capabilities while lowering overhead impact.

Taking protection to new levels of control is the Dell SonicWALL Application Intelligence Service, a set of customizable protection tools that empowers administrators with precise control over network traffic. This configurable set of granular application-specific policies can automate bandwidth management, control internal and external Web access, restrict transfer of specific files and documents, scan email attachments through user-configurable criteria and support custom signatures.

deployment_flexibility
Deployment flexibility.

Designed for highly redundant operations, E-Class NSA appliances are ideal solutions for wired or wireless deployments requiring high-speed access and heavy workgroup segmentation. With integrated support for standards-based VoIP, virtual local area networks (VLANs), enterprise-class routing and quality of service (QoS), E-Class NSAs increase deployment flexibility and enhance productivity.

dynamic_protection
Dynamic protection.

Dynamic threat protection, content filtering and Application Intelligence services are continually updated on a 24x7 basis to maximize security and decrease cost. IT productivity is increased by eliminating ad-hoc patch management for servers and workstations, automating the application of new protection signatures and removing the necessity to manually update security policies.
