SonicWALL has expanded its TZ Series product line with the launch of the TZ 200, TZ 200 Wireless-N, TZ 100, and TZ 100 Wireless-N. The updated TZ Series, which also includes the recently announced TZ 210, reportedly provides small to medium-sized businesses and distributed enterprises with enhancements in anti-spam, 3G failover, SSL-VPN remote access along with additional features required to help companies control security threats.
The company said that the enhancements in the new offering include: Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service using the company’s anti-spam technology which incorporates Advanced Reputation Management on the firewall, Bayesian analysis in the cloud, and user level quarantining.
According to SonicWALL, the new service is capable of combining with other enterprise calibre productivity features such as automatic 3G and analogue failover, application identification, bandwidth management, SSL VPN remote access, wireless switch controller, integrated 802.11n secure access point, gigabit interfaces and the likes to offer protection against security threats.
Patrick Sweeney, vice president of product management at SonicWALL, said: The combination of increasing malware sophistication and the prevalence of social media usage puts your network’s security, productivity and cost structure under pressure. Yet, SMBs and distributed enterprises can’t solve the problem with a dozen different solutions.
SonicWALL’s Unified Threat Management firewalls, combined with the innovative new features, bring a total solution together in one integrated series of firewalls that have the speed, sophistication, and intelligence to solve the security and the productivity threats to the network while still reducing costs.
The company said that it has combined all of these features with its Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention, Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Content Filtering capabilities. The new TZs are built on the company’s 5th generation hardware architecture and its Re-assembly Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) technology. Its 5th generation series consists of the TZ 100, TZ 200 and the TZ 210, all of which are available in wired and wireless configurations, the latter adding integrated 802.11 b/g/n wireless capabilities.
