The SonicWALL® Email Security Virtual Appliance provides a hardened, performance-optimized virtual server for SonicWALL Email Security (also available as software, a hardware appliance or a subscription service). In the past, under the “one server, one application” model, administrators often underutilized hardware resources and spent considerable time on server management. SonicWALL Virtual Appliances significantly improve the efficiency and availability of resources and applications. To support larger deployments and scalability, administrators can use Split-Config Mode to deploy multiple virtual appliances within a single server or across multiple servers.
Features & Benefits:
• Reduces complexity by simplifying product selection, integration and ongoing support
• Virtualization leverages shared computing resources to optimize utilization, ease migration and reduce capital costs
• Lowers TCO by eliminating unnecessary hardware, service fees and hidden costs
• Secure, reliable and performance-optimized architecture
• Easily scales across multiple servers in distributed mid-enterprise environments
• Easily replicates for external customers using minimal incremental investment, ideal for managed service providers (MSPs)
• Increases ROI by running entire virtual environment on a single server, ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses (SMBs)
• Reduced capital costs due to less hardware, requiring less administration time per server, and increasing energy and efficiency
• Hardened SonicLinux OS

SonicWALL Secure Upgrade Plus program
The SonicWALL Secure Upgrade Plus program recognizes the investments that customers have previously made and helps them maintain optimal security by letting them easily and affordably upgrade or trade-in their existing security appliances.
Customers who purchase the minimum set of subscription services and support when upgrading a SonicWALL product or trading-in from a competitive product can save up to 50% on the total annual cost of that solution, compared to the cost of buying the hardware separately plus one year of services. Subscriptions are now available in 2- and 3-year terms for maximum flexibility. Secure Upgrade Plus now also features more SonicWALL Network Security firewall products (including the popular new TZ 200 Series), as well as other specified SonicWALL product lines, including Continuous Data Protection (CDP), Secure Remote Access (SSL VPN) and Email Security (ES).
