UPGRADE ADVANTAGE: More Value, Less Effort for Partners, MSPs & MSSPs

by Sarah Choi, Mahpara Banday

Upgrading to the latest SonicWall firewalls unlocks unified management, AI-driven insights and partner-friendly services that cut costs, boost efficiency and strengthen customer trust.

Upgrading to a new SonicWall firewall isn’t just about better hardware. It’s about smarter management, stronger security, scalability and more profitable services. It’s your move from reseller to high-value security provider. With SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM), Managed Security Services (MSS), embedded ZTNA, the industry’s first built-in cyber warranty and Unified Management, you can deliver more value to customers while working more efficiently.

Your Business, Your Way

Sell SonicWall Managed Services Alongside Your Own: You don’t have to build every service yourself to deliver enterprise-grade protection. By leveraging SonicWall MSS and our Security Operations Center (SOC), you can extend coverage across endpoints, cloud and firewalls. SonicWall delivers the alerts, reports, dashboards and analytics, so you strengthen customer trust without adding overhead.

DIY Network Security Services, Simplified: Prefer to run everything in-house? SonicWall gives you the tools to do it at scale. With NSM, your team can manage every firewall, enforce compliance, fix misconfigurations and keep a complete audit trail from one powerful console.

SonicWall Unified Management: Centralized Control for Service Providers

Managing multiple customers has never been simple, but SonicWall Unified Management makes it feel that way. From one console, MSPs and MSSPs can deploy, monitor and scale SonicWall solutions spanning firewalls, endpoint protection, secure access and threat detection. Multi-tenant visibility, zero-touch deployment and active alerting keep operations efficient, while streamlined workflows free your team to focus on higher-value services instead of repetitive tasks.

Smarter Tools, Stronger Services

Beyond core management, SonicWall continues to invest in tools that make partners more efficient and profitable. SAMI 1.0, an AI assistant built into Unified Management, acts as a digital co-pilot, allowing you to explore firewall analytics conversationally, automate upgrades and pull best-practice guidance instantly.
At the same time, our Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS) helps Gen 7 and Gen 8 devices stay patched, monitored and optimized without additional staff. Customers get continuous value and compliance-ready reports, while you reduce operational noise and build recurring revenue.

Timely upgrades tie it all together by giving your customers the latest features and protections while reducing downtime and support burdens for your team. Together, these capabilities strengthen your security services, expand revenue opportunities and help you position yourself as a proactive partner.

Partner Win: 50 Sites, One Policy Push

For one retail chain, security used to mean 50 repetitive policy updates — one for each location. After moving to next-generation firewalls with NSM, that same work takes minutes. One policy, one push, complete consistency. Errors dropped, operations streamlined and the IT team reclaimed time to innovate instead of babysitting configs.
