Dell SonicWall TZ 215 Secure Upgrade Plus (2 Years) CGSS (01-SSC-4970)

Today's evolving threat landscape renders stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewalls irrelevant. SPI does not secure your organization against malware passing from the web and mobile devices or enable application control, which can hurt the productivity of your employees and your organization. In addition, as business-critical applications move to the cloud, organizations need to ensure that bandwidth is available so that employees can quickly and easily access vital data. Only deep packet inspection (DPI) can do all this, by inspecting every byte of every packet. However, lesser solutions lack the power and sophistication to accomplish DPI without turning the firewall into a bottleneck for high-speed broadband networks. Organizations should not have to trade advanced DPI security and application control for network performance.

The Dell SonicWALL TZ 215 is the highest-performing, most secure Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewall available today in its price point. It provides full deep packet inspection (DPI) without diminishing network performance, thus eliminating bottlenecks that other products introduce, while enabling businesses to realize increased productivity gains.

Designed for small businesses, distributed enterprises, branch offices and retail deployments, the new TZ 215 elegantly integrates the most effective anti-malware, intrusion prevention, URL filtering into a single solution, driving down cost and complexity. The TZ 215 adds application intelligence and control to ensure bandwidth for critical applications, while throttling non-productive ones. It speeds troubleshooting and forensics of real-time and historic data, using drill-down visualization and Application Traffic Analytics to provide deep insight into bandwidth utilization and security threats. Advanced networking features include multiple ISP failover and load balancing, optional dual-band secure wireless, IPSec VPN support, network segmentation and PCI compliance capabilities. The TZ 215 is the only UTM firewall with a native VPN remote access client for iOS, Google Android, Windows, Mac OS and Linux that supports Clean VPN, which decontaminates threats from VPN traffic. Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware provides maximum prevention with virtually no administrative overhead, and is available for purchase with either McAfee or Kaspersky anti-virus software. The TZ 215 is the most trusted, reliable and easy-to-use security platform on the market.
