SonicOS 8.2.2 introduces subscription-based NSv models for Proxmox deployments, enabling organizations to select the firewall capacity that precisely matches their workload requirements:
| Model | vCPU Cores | Target Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| NSv XS | 1 | Optimal fit for targeted security workloads, particularly in environments where efficiency and precision matter. |
| NSv S | 2 | Branch offices, micro-segmentation, SD-WAN endpoints |
| NSv M | 4 | Mid-size sites, multi-zone segmentation, moderate throughput |
| NSv L | 8 | Data center edge, high-throughput inspection, large-scale deployments |
NSv S, M, and L models are available as subscription licenses (1, 2, 3, 5, and 7-year terms) with Secure Connect, APSS, and MPSS bundles. BYOL and PAYG options are available on supported platforms.
The NSv XS (single-core) model remains available. However, the NSv S, M, and L models extend the portfolio with additional capacity tiers.
