Network Security Appliance 220 and 250M Series Provide Security, Application
Intelligence, Control and Network Productivity
SonicWALL, Inc
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/?utm_source=PressRelease&utm_medium 11Releases&utm_content=Homepage&utm_campaign"0250Launch ]
., the leading provider of intelligent network security
and data protection
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products.html?utm_source=PressRelease&utm_medium 11Releases&utm_term=protection&utm_campaign=nsa_220_250 ]
solutions, today introduced two
high-performance, application-aware next-generation firewalls for branch offices and
small- medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The NSA 220 Series and NSA 250M Series
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/NSA_250M.html?utm_source=PressRelease%26utm_&utm_medium 11Releases%26utm_campaign&utm_campaign=NSA_220_250 ]
deliver an unmatched
combination of security, performance and price in this class of next-generation firewalls.
The NSA 220
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/NSA_220.html?utm_source=PressRelease%26utm_&utm_medium 11Releases%26utm_campaign&utm_campaign=NSA_220_250 ]
and 250M Series
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/NSA_250M.html?utm_source=PressRelease%26utm_&utm_medium 11Releases%26utm_campaign&utm_campaign=NSA_220_250 ]
offer firewall protection with
tightly integrated intrusion prevention, comprehensive gateway anti-malware services and
granular application intelligence and control
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/solutions/Solutions_Application_Intelligence_Control_Visualization.html?utm_source=PressRelease%26utm_&utm_medium 11Releases%26utm_campaign&utm_campaign=NSA_220_250 ]
. Both appliances are available as dual-band wireless models
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/Clean_Wireless_Series.html?utm_source=PressRelease%26utm_&utm_medium 11Releases%26utm_campaign&utm_campaign=NSA_220_250 ]
. The NSA 250M
Series also supports a variety of modules such as T1/E1, ADSL (Annex A & B), 2GbE SFP and
LAN Bypass to further expand its deployment flexibility and reduce maintenance costs
through equipment consolidation.
As well as providing extensive security for branch offices without degrading
performance, the new appliances allow administrators to manage the unproductive use of
network resources such as social media applications that eat away at precious network
bandwidth and company resources if left unchecked. For example, a network administrator
can allow the marketing team to reach out to customers via Facebook while restricting
social and browser gaming during business hours.
"In distributed environments with multiple branch offices, the security at the
periphery must be as good as the security at the core," said Dmitriy Ayrapetov, product
line manager network security at SonicWALL. "With the introduction of the NSA 220
[http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/NSA_220.html?utm_source=PressRelease%26utm_&utm_medium 11Releases%26utm_campaign&utm_campaign=NSA_220_250 ]

, branch offices now have full
deep packet inspection security for their entire network, including SSL-encrypted traffic
while being able to take control of all the applications on their network. SonicWALL is
the only company to deliver this scanning capability in this class of products."

application traffic, bandwidth utilization and security threats for troubleshooting and
forensics, both in a real-time view on the firewall and a historic view through syslog,
IPFIX and NetFlow exported data. Additionally, the NSA 220
