LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., May
10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- INTEROP -- SonicWALL, Inc.,
the leading provider of intelligent network security
and data protection solutions, today launched the SonicWALL
NSA E8510, the latest addition to its range of next-generation
firewalls. The Network Security Appliance (NSA) E8510 provides 10
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity in a compact, 1U rack mountable
form-factor to accommodate security, performance and power
efficiency requirements of modern high-capacity networks. The
appliance is powered by SonicWALL's SonicOS 5.8 firmware, which
offers latency-free intrusion prevention and anti-malware
protection. SonicOS 5.8 features application intelligence and
control functionality for granular control over application traffic
and bandwidth in real-time. With the ability to block or throttle
application usage on a user or group level, and its compact form
factor and affordable price, the E8510 is an ideal solution for
corporate, healthcare and education deployments.

As organizations expand their existing networking
infrastructure, firewalls are often overlooked and can become a
critical bottleneck. When network infrastructures are upgraded to
10 GbE to accommodate for growth in bandwidth requirements beyond 1
Gigabit per second (Gbps), these upgrades can be neutralized by
firewalls that are unable to handle high bandwidth requirements or
connectivitiy. This is especially true as an increasing number of
security-conscious organizations replace their traditional
firewalls with a new breed of deep packet inspection (DPI)
firewalls that provide protection against the evolving threat
ecosystem and the network attack vectors prevalent today.
The SonicWALL NSA E8510 addresses these performance concerns
with dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports and high performance full DPI which
does not introduce latency to the network. Combined with the
SonicWALL Application Intelligence and Control features, this 10
GbE next-generation firewall provides high-speed network
performance and ensures security with integrated intrusion
prevention (IPS), anti-malware and SSL traffic protection.
"The NSA E8510 Next-Generation Firewall is designed for
enterprises that need multi-gigabit network performance,
application control and comprehensive security features," said
Dmitriy Ayrapetov, product line
manager, SonicWALL. "It builds on what is already the broadest
range of next-generation firewalls on the market and offers a
robust solution to customers with 10 GbE infrastructure
requirements."
"We congratulate SonicWALL on their innovative 1U 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Security Appliance which effectively leverages the
leading performance, low-latency and low-power of Cavium's OCTEON
Multi-core processor," said YJ Kim, general manager, infrastructure
processor group, Cavium Networks. "This new SonicWALL appliance
will enable customers to garner great benefits in terms of rack
space, compelling performance and features".
The new appliance capitalizes on SonicWALL's industry-leading
application intelligence and control solution, putting the power
back in the hands of IT administrators with new levels of
management and ease-of-use. Based on a continuously expanding
database containing more than 3,500 application signatures,
administrators can easily create bandwidth management or control
policies across the network. These can be based on individual
applications, collections of applications or entire pre-defined
categories (such as social media or gaming) for users or groups of
users to optimize network and employee efficiency.
When combining the power and flexibility of the NSA E8510
appliance with the efficiency gains provided by the recently
announced SonicWALL WAN Acceleration Appliance (WXA) Series and
application intelligence and control features, organizations
realize significant gains in efficiency, optimization and
performance of critical applications both on local and distributed
networks.
