The Dell
 SonicWALL
 SuperMassive
 
Series is Dell’s Next-Generation Firewall 
(NGFW) platform designed for large 
networks to deliver scalability, reliability 
and deep security at multi-gigabit speeds 
with near zero latency. 
Built to meet the needs of enterprise, 
government, university, and service 
provider deployments, the SuperMassive 
Series is ideal for securing enterprise 
networks, data centers and service 
providers. 
Combining its massively multi-core 
architecture and Dell SonicWALL’s 
patented* Reassembly-Free Deep Packet 
Inspection
®
 (RFDPI) technology, the 
SuperMassive E10000 and 9000 Series 
deliver industry-leading application 
control, intrusion prevention, malware 
protection and SSL inspection at multi-
gigabit speeds. The SuperMassive Series is 
designed with power, space, and cooling 
(PSC) in mind, providing the leading 
Gbps/Watt NGFW in the industry for 
application control and threat prevention.
The Dell SonicWALL RFDPI engine scans 
every byte of every packet across all 
ports, delivering full content inspection of 
the entire stream while providing high 
performance and low latency. This 
technology is superior to outdated proxy 
designs that reassemble content using 
sockets bolted to anti-malware programs 
that are plagued with inefficiencies and 
overhead of socket memory thrashing 
that leads to high latency, low performance 
and file size limitations. The RFDPI engine 
delivers full content inspection to 
eliminate threats before they enter the 
network and provides protection against 
millions of unique malware variants 
without file size, performance or latency 
limitations. The RFDPI engine also 
provides full inspection of SSL-encrypted 
traffic as well as non-proxyable 
applications enabling complete 
protection regardless of transport  
or protocol. 
Application traffic analytics allow for  
the identification of productive and 
unproductive application traffic in real 
time which can then be controlled 
through powerful application-level 
policies. Application control can be 
exercised on both a per-user and 
per-group basis, along with schedules 
and exception lists. All application, 
intrusion prevention, and malware 
signatures are constantly updated  
by the Dell SonicWALL Threats Research 
Team. Additionally, SonicOS, an advanced 
purpose-built operating system, provides 
integrated tools that allow for custom 
application identification and control.
The design of the SuperMassive  
Series firewalls provides near-linear 
performance increases and scales up to 
96 cores of processing power to deliver 
up to 30 Gbps of threat prevention and 
30 Gbps of application inspection and 
control. The SuperMassive E10000 Series 
is field upgradeable, future-proofing the 
security infrastructure investment as 
network bandwidth and security 
requirements increase.
