SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) E5500 01-SSC-7008 Manuale Utente

™

The SonicWALL® E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) Series is the industry’s fi rst multi-core 
Unifi ed Threat Management (UTM) solution, delivering enterprise-class deep packet inspection 
without signifi cantly impacting network throughput. Combining a powerful deep packet inspection 
fi rewall with multiple layers of protection technology and a suite of high availability features, the 
E-Class NSA E7500, E6500 and E5500 appliances off er a broad range of scalable solutions for enterprise 
deployments in distributed environments, campus networks and data centers.

SonicWALL E-Class NSAs are engineered to be the most scalable, reliable and highest performing 
multifunction threat appliances in their class. The NSA Series prevents against a vast spectrum of 
network attacks with unprecedented speed. This speed of protection is enabled through the NSA 
multi-core architecture, a parallel performance design for ultra-high-speed threat protection and 
deployment scalability. Taking protection to new levels of control is Application Firewall, a set of 
customizable protection tools that empowers administrators with precise control over network traffi

  c. 

Operational reliability is delivered through a high availability suite of features at the hardware and 
system level to optimize uptime and improve security coverage. 

The NSA Series is a key part of SonicWALL’s portfolio of enterprise-class products and services for 
network security, e-mail protection and secure remote access. All E-Class solutions off er outstanding 
protection and performance while delivering elegant simplicity and unparalleled value. SonicWALL’s 
E-Class delivers the high performance protection required by enterprise-class networks in a solution 
that is engineered to drive the cost and complexity out of running a secure network. 

Multi-core Performance Architecture. At the heart of 
the E-Class NSA is the SonicWALL multi-core performance 
architecture designed to provide breakthrough deep 
packet inspection and granular network intelligence 
over real-time network traffi

  c without impacting 

network performance. The SonicWALL E-Class NSA can 
eff ectively deliver ultra-high-speed performance 
through the concurrent use of specialized security 
processing cores. Using the processing power of 
multiple cores in unison dramatically increases 
throughput and simultaneous inspection capabilities 
while lowering overhead impact.

Unifi ed Threat Management Security Platform. The 
E-Class NSA Series delivers a highly redundant security 
and connectivity platform that is purpose-built for high-
speed internal and external network protection, 
consolidating and extending security functionality 
throughout the network. E-Class NSAs integrate real-
time gateway anti-virus, spyware and intrusion 
prevention to secure networks and VPNs against an 
extensive array of dynamic threats including worms, 
Trojans, viruses, malware and software vulnerabilities.  

Deployment Flexibility. Designed for highly redundant 
operations, the E-Class NSA appliances are an ideal 
solution for wired or wireless applications requiring 

high-speed access and heavy workgroup segmentation. 
With integrated support for standards-based VoIP, virtual 
local area networks (VLANs), enterprise-class routing and 
quality of service (QoS) E-Class NSAs increase deployment 
fl exibility and enhance productivity.

Application Firewall and Custom Control. Application 
Firewall is a confi gurable set of granular, application-
specifi c policies that allow custom access control per 
network user, application, schedule or IP subnet level. 
These policies can restrict transfer of specifi c fi les and 
documents, scan e-mail attachments using user-
confi gurable criteria, automate bandwidth, control 
inspect internal and external Web access, and support 
custom signatures.

Dynamic Protection. Dynamic threat protection, 
content fi ltering and application control services are 
continually updated on a 24x7 basis to maximize security 
and decrease cost. IT productivity is increased by 
eliminating ad-hoc patch management for servers and 
workstations, automating the application of new 
protection signatures and removing the necessity to 
manually update security policies.
