SonicWall TZ270 firewall appliance 02-SSC-6844

TZ270 desktop firewall with Gen 7 hardware

The SonicWall TZ270 is a desktop-form-factor next-generation firewall built for small offices and lean branches. It runs on seventh-generation hardware and provides wired connectivity with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 3.0 ports and a console port. The appliance supports up to 750000 simultaneous sessions and 1000-plus users. It is suited for organisations that need consolidated threat prevention and SD-Branch readiness in a compact unit.

Two-year Advanced Protection Security Suite included

The bundled Secure Upgrade Plus licence activates the Advanced Protection Security Suite for two years. This adds gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, DPI SSL inspection and content filtering with URL, IP, keyword and file-type controls. Cloud-based centralised management and reporting are also enabled, allowing single-pane-of-glass administration across multiple sites. Zero-Touch Deployment lets administrators roll out devices across locations without on-site IT intervention.

2 Gbps firewall throughput and 16.84 W maximum draw

The unit delivers 2 Gbps firewall inspection throughput, with threat prevention, application inspection and IPS throughput at 750 Mbps or 1 Gbps depending on the service. Encryption uses DES, 3DES or AES. Power comes from a 36 W external supply while actual consumption peaks at 16.84 W. Wireless models operate on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Buyers who need 10 Gigabit or 5 Gigabit interfaces should verify the exact SKU, as this model provides eight 1 GbE ports only.
