This article describes what SeCaas/NFR/FWAAS devices are and how they are used.
SonicWall Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS)
SECaaS is a monthly subscription pricing model (OPEX) with no upfront costs.
This model is popular with the MSP/MSSP partner community, or any sales scenario where a monthly subscription price is the preferred purchasing mechanism for the end-customer.
This monthly pricing option includes the hardware and monthly subscription security service with no upfront costs.
NOTE: Please note only SonicWall SecureFirst partners can use the SECaaS monthly subscription pricing model.
SonicWall Not For Resale (NFR)
The Not For Resale (NFR) Program allows partners to use SonicWall products in their test labs, live demonstrations, or internal environment.
NOTE: Not For Resale (NFR) devices are for partners only.
SonicWall Firewall-As-A-Service (FwaaS)
The Firewall-as-a-service (Fwaas) solution gives partners the up-front cost and allows partners to work with sonicwall under a set monthly cost which allows you to pass a consistent cost model on to your customers and allows you to provide them the equipment they need without delay.
Partners provide the service and retain ownership/control of the end-customer; SonicWall is neither informed nor makes contact with your private clients.
NOTE: Not For Resale (NFR) devices are for partners only.
