SonicWall TZ570 firewall appliance 03-SSC-3018 3Y APSS 1Y CSE

Desktop firewall with 3-year security suite

The SonicWall TZ570 is a desktop-form-factor network security appliance that bundles the Gen 7 firewall hardware with three years of Advanced Protection Security Suite and one year of Cloud Secure Edge. It delivers deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application control and content filtering for small to mid-sized organisations and distributed SD-Branch sites. The unit provides wired connectivity through eight 1 GbE ports, two 5 GbE SFP+ ports and two USB 3.0 interfaces. Power consumption peaks at 13.4 W from a 100-240 VAC supply.

Suits sites needing integrated threat services

Organisations that want a single appliance combining firewall, VPN, SSL inspection and cloud-based reporting for up to seven days will match this bundle. The included licences cover gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, Capture Advanced Threat Protection and comprehensive anti-spam. Buyers who need wireless LAN integration, higher multi-gigabit port density or a rackmount chassis should evaluate other form factors. The desktop footprint and fixed port count also limit expansion for large data-centre deployments.

200 site-to-site VPN tunnels maximum

The hardware supports a maximum of 200 concurrent site-to-site VPN tunnels alongside 2500 users and 1 250 000 simultaneous sessions. IPsec client capacity reaches 10 with an extended limit of 500, while SSL VPN licences allow 2 concurrent users up to 200. Encryption options include DES, 3DES and AES at 128, 192 and 256 bits with Suite B cryptography. This tunnel ceiling is the decisive figure when sizing the appliance for branch-office connectivity.
