The next generation of SonicWall<\/a> next generation firewalls continues to grow. The powerhouse NSa 2700<\/a><\/strong> and three new TZ small business firewalls, the TZ270<\/a><\/strong>, TZ370<\/a><\/strong>, & TZ470<\/a><\/strong> are the latest entries in SonicWall Gen 7. Following the release of the TZ570 and TZ670 earlier this year, this week’s announcement marks six appliances with a seven in their name. So, what does the seventh-generation moniker mean?<\/p>

It means each firewall runs on SonicOS 7.0<\/a><\/strong>, the latest iteration of SonicWall’s operating system. On top of that, it means more connections. It means the state-of-the-art protection of Capture ATP, which stops ransomware<\/strong><\/a> in its tracks. And of course, a big one, top notch performance.<\/p>

Let’s take a closer look at each of the new SonicWall Gen 7 firewalls.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h3>

SonicWall NSa 2700<\/a><\/h3>

\"NSa<\/a><\/p>

The SonicWall NSa 2700 is the first of the mid-size firewalls in SonicWall Gen 7. That means this firewall packs an enterprise feature-rich punch, with a low total cost of ownership that won’t knock out budgets. The NSa 2700 boasts advanced networking features businesses come to expect, like SD-WAN, dynamic routing, and clustering. Along with that, it offers high-speed VPN for 2020’s remote workforce.<\/p>

When it comes to security, in addition to Capture ATP, the NSa 2700<\/a><\/strong> supports Cloud Application Security, Real Time Deep Memory Inspection, and Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection. On top of that is Deep Packet Inspection for all traffic. In sum, the NSa 2700 with these features is ready to stop the latest threats, including the zero days we don’t know about yet. Here’s a brief look at its other tech specs:<\/p>

Firewall Throughput<\/strong>: 5.5 Gbps<\/p>

IPS Throughput<\/strong>: 3.4 Gbps<\/p>

Threat Prevention Throughput<\/strong>: 3 Gbps<\/p>

IPSec VPN Throughput<\/strong>: 2.1 Gbps<\/p>

Maximum Connections (DPI)<\/strong>: 500,000<\/p>

Connections per Second<\/strong>: 25,000<\/p>

Interfaces<\/strong>: 16x1GbE, 3x10G SFP+, 2 USB 3.0, 1 Console, 1 Management port<\/p>

SonicWall TZ270, TZ370, & TZ470<\/h3>

\"TZ<\/a><\/p>

SonicWall’s TZ firewall series is known for offering comprehensive protection to SMBs at an affordable price point. The new members of this series take the protection & performance up a notch. These SonicWall Gen 7 firewalls<\/a><\/strong> support the many of the latest security features (Capture ATP, RTDMI, & RFDPI) and connectivity capabilities (SD-WAN, VPN, etc.) we just discussed, but in a desktop package. The TZ270, TZ370, & TZ470 are designed for small businesses as well as enterprise branch offices. On top of the sizing options they provide, they also come in wireless models (look for the W) which can serve as firewalls and access points in one.<\/p>

Speaking of wireless, you may have heard about a little technological advance known as 5G. Well, so has SonicWall. These TZ firewalls come equipped with a USB 3.0 port that allows for 5G & LTE connectivity. And because these are built for small business, getting them up and running is a snap. They feature zero-touch deployment and setup through the SonicExpress mobile app. Once they’re online, management with the aforementioned SonicOS 7.0 is a breeze as well. But the major differentiator for SonicWall Gen 7 firewalls is performance, so let’s take a look at their tech specs:<\/p>
