Introducing the NSv Series

This SonicWall® SonicOS/X 7 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/X 7 running on the NSv offers the same feature functionality and security features of a physical appliance, with comparable performance. SonicOS/X Virtual is a fully featured 64-bit SonicOS/X 7 powered by SonicCore.
