SonicWALL's New TotalSecure Platforms Pack Extra Power into All-In-One UTM Security Bundles
Extended range of UTM security solutions makes business-class network protection even easier to buy, install and manage; now includes 24x7 support
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 2 -- SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNWL) today extended its line of TotalSecure solutions with the launch of its TZ 180, TZ 180 Wireless and TZ 190 Wireless appliances. These new platforms offer higher Unified Threat Management (UTM) performance, enhanced ease of use, comprehensive security management and reporting capabilities, and secure WPA2 (802.11i) wireless support, all combined in the convenience of SonicWALL's TotalSecure Series.
TotalSecure is an all-in-one security solution combining hardware, security services, reporting and support, designed to make comprehensive Unified Threat Management protection easy to buy, install and manage for small and mid-sized business networks. The TZ 180 appliances become the platform for SonicWALL's TotalSecure 10 and TotalSecure 25 offerings for small networks. The new TZ 190 Wireless joins the recently-introduced TZ 190 as the hardware appliances for the TotalSecure 3G Series, which enables secure Internet access over 3G broadband WAN and allows businesses to work with or without fixed Internet connections.
"Without a constantly updated threat management solution, a firewall is subject to attack before you have even finished installing it," said Matthew Medeiros, president and chief executive officer at SonicWALL. "Internet threats don't discriminate between the scale of the network they attack, and we believe that everyone should have access to the best network protection. We have therefore made our UTM capabilities easily available to all our users, through our range of TotalSecure solutions."
TZ 180 and TZ 180 Wireless
The TZ 180 delivers gateway UTM scanning at twice the speed of SonicWALL's TZ 170 products. A new Security Dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of the number and type of security threats blocked by SonicWALL's threat prevention technology worldwide, as well as the threats blocked by the user's appliance. The TZ 180 Wireless offers high performance wireless LAN capabilities with WPA2 (802.11i) support and maximum range and sensitivity. The TZ 180 appliances ship standard with SonicOS 3.8, which offers a new registration and licensing wizard as well as a new setup wizard that makes installation even faster and simpler for IT administrators. With an upgrade to SonicOS enhanced, the appliances use SonicWALL's PortShield technology to provide an easy way for users to configure and manage each of the five ports on the device as custom security zones within the network. The TZ 180 and TZ 180 Wireless are available immediately.
TZ 190 Wireless
The TZ 190 Wireless further extends the capabilities of the TZ 190 as the platform for the TotalSecure 3G Series, adding 802.11i wireless LAN connectivity in addition to 3G wireless WAN connectivity. The unrestricted node TZ 190 platform enables users to create a secure 3G wireless broadband network with or without a fixed Internet connection, providing high- performance UTM firewall capabilities together with support for worldwide GSM- and CDMA-based 3G networks. Other benefits of the TZ 190 Series include automated failover/failback, PortShield architecture, and easy installation, management and reporting through SonicWALL's wizards and Security Dashboard. The TZ 190 Wireless ships with SonicOS Enhanced operating system, delivering superior range and sensitivity for local wireless users on the network. The TZ 190 Wireless will be available in mid 2007.
"Our TotalSecure solutions are designed to simplify the selection between multiple point products and add-on services by integrating everything you need to add UTM protection to your network into a single, affordable package," said John Gordineer, director of product management at SonicWALL. "The new platforms combine high performance with easy management and the ability to view and report on the threat environment in real time. We believe TotalSecure is a compelling offering for networks of all sizes."
Each TotalSecure offering includes one year each of Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, Content Filtering Service, 24x7 dynamic support and ViewPoint reporting software.
