The SonicWALL® Network Security Appliance (NSA) 3500 is a Unified Threat Management firewall designed for small or midsized central sites, branch offices and distributed environments needing significant capacity and performance. The NSA 3500 integrates multi-core hardware, SonicWALL Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection™, application control, intrusion prevention, SSL VPN, and high availability for real-time protection without compromising performance.
Features
Unified Threat Management.
The NSA 3500 provides application control, gateway anti-malware, intrusion prevention and Web content filtering on a high performance platform through its unified and simple management interface. This powerful combination ensures state-of-the-art security at a low total cost of ownership.
Application Intelligence.
SonicWALL provides real-time insight and control of network traffic broken down by applications, users and content through intuitive on-board visualization. The ability to prioritize important applications, throttle down unproductive applications and block unwanted application components ensures an efficient and safe network.
WAN Acceleration.
The WAN Acceleration Appliance (WXA) Series provides WAN Acceleration to reduce application latency, conserve bandwidth and significantly optimize WAN performance. The WXA Series appliances are provisioned, managed and controlled by existing SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA), NSA and TZ Series appliances for optimal ease of use and simplified deployment.
Gateway anti-malware.
Gateway anti-virus and anti-spyware provide high performance protection against millions of unique pieces of malware with near zero latency and no file size limitation. This provides a first layer of defense and stops malware before it can reach systems on your network.
Intrusion prevention.
Tightly integrated, signature based network intrusion prevention protects against a comprehensive array of network and application layer threats by scanning packet payloads for attacks and exploits targeting critical internal systems.
SonicWALL Mobile Connect™
SonicWALL® Mobile Connect™, a single unified client app for iOS, provides Apple® iPad®, iPhone®, and iPod touch® users full network-level access to corporate and academic resources over encrypted SSL VPN connections.
Virtual Private Networking.
High-performance Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) easily scale to thousands of end points and branch offices. And SonicWALL Clean VPN™ technology protects the integrity of both your IPSec and SSL VPN traffic, securing your remote access tunnels and decontaminating the traffic running over it.
High performance.
SonicWALL’s patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine combined with the E3500’s 4 core security platform is capable of inspecting hundreds of thousands of connections simultaneously across all ports. The system provides 240 Mbps of Deep Packet Inspection across 6 GbE copper interfaces with nearly zero latency and without file size limitations.
