Overview

The SonicWall Unified Management (previously known as SonicPlatform) is a web-based innovative management platform designed to unify SonicWall products into a single integrated interface. Throughout this document, SonicWall Unified Management will be referred to as Unified Management.

The Unified Management is not only focused on streamlining management tasks but also delivers deep product integration that enables the sharing of contextual information across all enforcement points.

Unified Management gives you everything you need for management:

• Comprehensive visibility and
• Granular control and the capacity to govern the entire SonicWall network security operations with a greater clarity, precision, and speed.

The Unified Management is built to deliver a vision of comprehensive, intuitive, and unified management that greatly simplifies the oversight of cloud-based and on-premises infrastructures.

SonicWall has added numerous security and networking solutions, including Endpoint security, Wireless access, Cloud Email Security, and threat intelligence, along with its recent additions of Cloud Secure Edge (a Cloud-delivered ZTNA solution as a service), and managed security services, such as Managed Detection and Response (MDR).

This platform is especially beneficial for MSPs, enabling them to manage multiple client environments, automate key tasks efficiently, reduce operational costs, enhance service delivery, and garner valuable insights—all through a single, user-friendly interface.

The Unified Management serves as a centralized hub for managing all client resources, with key features such as:

• Unified Console: A single, intuitive interface for managing all clients and their resources.

• Unified System Health Visibility: Comprehensive insights into the health and performance of clients’ products – including maintenance needs.

  • Unified alerts
  • Unified Inventory management
  • Simplified onboarding of new partner, customer, product, and services.
• Enhanced Security Management: Advanced capabilities for detecting and mitigating threats.
• Expanded Inventory Management: Efficient management of clients’ resources, including appliances, subscriptions, and licenses across on-premises and cloud environments.

This security management platform provides a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) offering for ease of deployment.

The Unified Management is accessible on-demand, through the cloud, virtually with unlimited system scalability to support multiple tenants with thousands of security nodes under each one. The solution’s redundant and distributed architecture enables organizations to centrally and reliably manage a single small network to one or more enterprise-class deployments with the flexibility to scale without increasing management and administrative overhead.
