SonicWall 03-SSC-7014 TZ680 5Gbps High Availability Firewall
Overview
The SonicWall TZ680 High Availability appliance is engineered to deliver enterprise-grade network security and robust threat prevention capabilities for mid-sized organizations and distributed enterprise environments, particularly those leveraging SD-Branch deployments. This next-generation firewall (NGFW) integrates advanced security services with high-performance networking, ensuring comprehensive protection without compromising network speed. It is specifically designed to maintain business continuity through redundant configurations, safeguarding against network outages and facilitating uninterrupted operations. Powered by SonicOS 8.0, the TZ680 features a multi-core, parallel-processing hardware architecture that enables lightning-fast deep packet inspection and real-time threat analysis. Key security features include patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI), advanced Intrusion Prevention, Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, and sophisticated sandboxing via Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP). This robust combination ensures effective detection and blocking of known and unknown threats, including zero-day attacks and ransomware, by inspecting directly in memory. The appliance adeptly handles encrypted traffic, including TLS 1.3, ensuring threats hidden within SSL/TLS sessions are also neutralized. Designed for flexible deployment, the TZ680 comes in a compact desktop form factor and integrates seamlessly into diverse network infrastructures. It offers high port density, including multi-gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and supports Secure SD-WAN for optimized resource utilization across multi-site deployments. Simplified centralized management is achieved through the SonicWall Capture Security Center (CSC) and Network Security Manager (NSM), with Zero-Touch Deployment capabilities for rapid rollout across multiple locations with minimal IT intervention. Its high availability functionality, often requiring pairing with a primary TZ680 unit, ensures resilient network performance and continuous security for mission-critical applications.
