March 11th, 2008

SonicWall announced the SonicWall Network Security Appliance Series (NSA) for
the mid-enterprise, a next generation of Unified Threat Management (UTM) aimed
at helping mid-sized businesses benefit from multi-function network security,
without compromising network performance or manageability. The NSA series
multi-core platform, which first appeared in the E-Class Appliances launched in
2007, is now available for mid-size organizations to help manage their security
in an increasingly complex network environment. These appliances allow IT
administrators to better control, secure and authorize network access, thereby
reducing security lapses and dramatically improving visibility of network
activity and application use.

The NSA Series promises administrators much deeper intelligence over their
network infrastructure along with increase in network efficiency and
productivity. Using massively paralleled processes to classify then inspect
networked applications, the NSA series identifies unknown connections and gives
administrators back complete control of networked communications.

The NSA series uses a combination of SonicWall's patented Reassembly Free DPI
(RFDPI) and purpose-built multi-core acceleration hardware, which also appears
in the E-Class Appliances. This technology is now available in products
specifically designed to help mid-size organizations manage their security in an
increasingly complex and high-speed network environment.
