Introducing the NSv Series

This SonicWall® SonicOS 8 NSv Getting Started Guide describes how to install SonicWall NSv and provides basic configuration information.

The SonicWall® NSv is SonicWall’s virtualized next-generation firewall appliance that provides Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) security and segmentation in virtual environments. With some platform specific differences, SonicOS 8 running on the NSv offers the same feature functionality and security features of a physical appliance, with comparable performance. SonicOS Virtual is a fully featured 64-bit SonicOS 8 powered by SonicCore.

SonicWall NSv Series firewalls support both Classic mode and Policy mode. For information about supported and unsupported features, see the Feature Support Information section.
