Comprehensive, Integrated Best-of-Breed Threat Protection: Unified Threat Management Load BalancingSingle processor designs that include multiple protection technologies are severely limited by a single centralized processor. SonicWALL UTM load balancing integrates a high-speed Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection and traffic classification engine onto multiple security cores inspecting applications, files and content-based traffic in real time without significantly impacting performance or scalability. This enables the scanning and control of threats for enterprise-class networks that carry bandwidth intensive and latency sensitive applications.

Unified Threat Management Security Plateform
The E-Class NSA Series delivers a highly redundant security and connectivity platform that is purpose-built for high-speed internal and external network protection, consolidating and extending security functionality throughout the network. E-Class NSAs integrate real-time gateway anti-virus, spyware and intrusion prevention to secure networks and VPNs against an extensive array of dynamic threats including worms, Trojans, viruses, malware and software vulnerabilities.
Unified Threat Management Engine: The SonicWALL E-Class NSA UTM engine delivers the first scalable application layer inspection engine that can analyze files and content of any size in real time without reassembling packets or application content. This means of inspection is designed specifically for real-time applications and latency sensitive traffic, delivering complete control and inspection without having to proxy connections. Using this engine design, high-speed network traffic is inspected more efficiently and reliably for an improved end user experience.

Flexible, Customizable Deployment Options
Designed for highly redundant operations, the E-Class NSA appliances are an ideal solution for wired or wireless applications requiring high-speed access and heavy workgroup segmentation. With integrated support for standards-based VoIP, virtual local area networks (VLANs), enterprise-class routing and quality of service (QoS) E-Class NSAs increase deployment flexibility and enhance productivity.
Central-Site Gateway: Deployed as a Central-site Gateway the NSA Series provides a high-speed scalable platform, providing network segmentation and security using VLANs and security zones. Redundancy features include WAN Load balancing, ISP failover and Active/Active UTM.
Layer 2 Bridge Mode: Layer 2 bridge mode provides inline intrusion detection and prevention, adds an additional level of zone-based security to network segments or business units and simplifies layered security. Additionally, this enables administrators to limit access to sensitive data by specific business unit or database server.

Application Firewall and Custom Control
Application Firewall is a configurable set of granular, application-specific policies that allow custom access control per network user, application, schedule or IP subnet level. These policies can restrict transfer of specific files and documents, scan e-mail attachments using user-configurable criteria, automate bandwidth, control inspect internal and external Web access, and support custom signatures.

Multi-layered Dynamic Threat Protection
Dynamic threat protection, content filtering and application control services are continually updated on a 24x7 basis to maximize security and decrease cost. IT productivity is increased by eliminating ad-hoc patch management for servers and workstations, automating the application of new protection signatures and removing the necessity to manually update security policies.
Remote Site Protection: The E-Class NSA Series incorporates ultra-high performance Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that easily scales to thousands of end-points and branch offices. Innovative SonicWALL Clean VPN™ technology prevents vulnerabilities and malicious code by decontaminating traffic before it enters the corporate network, in real time and without user intervention.
Gateway Protection: Easily integrated into existing environments, E-Class NSAs centralize gateway-level protection across all incoming and outgoing applications, files and content-based traffic, while controlling bandwidth and applications, without significantly impacting performance or scalability.
Internal Protection: The highly-configurable E-Class NSA Series extends protection over the internal network by inspecting traffic over LAN interfaces and VLANs. Specifically designed for LAN network threats, the E-Class NSA Series monitors and responds to internally spreading malware, denial of service attacks, exploited software vulnerabilities, confidential documents, policy violations and network misuse.
Desktop and Server Protection: In addition to network and gateway based protection, the E-Class NSA Series provides additional endpoint protection for workstations and servers through an enforced anti-virus and anti-spyware client with advanced heuristics. This enforced client solution delivers network access control by restricting Internet access on endpoints that do not have the latest signature or engine updates. When enforcement is enabled on the appliance, each endpoint is directed to download the enforced anti-virus and anti-spyware client without any administrator intervention, automating the deployment of end point security.
