 The SonicWall SuperMassive Series is SonicWall's next-generation firewall (NGFW) platform designed for large networks to deliver scalability, reliability and deep security at multi-gigabit speeds with near zero latency.
Built to meet the needs of enterprise, government, education, retail, healthcare and service provider, the SuperMassive Series is ideal for securing distributed enterprise networks, data centers and service providers.
The combination of SonicWall's SonicOS operating system, patented* Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® (RFDPI) technology and massively multi-core, highly scalable hardware architecture, the SuperMassive 9000 Series deliver industry-leading application control, intrusion prevention, malware protection and TLS/SSL decryption and inspection at multigigabit speeds. The SuperMassive Series is thoughtfully designed with power, space and cooling (PSC) in mind, providing the leading Gbps/watt NGFW in the industry for high performance packet and data processing, application control and threat prevention.
The SonicWall RFDPI engine scans every byte of every packet across all ports, delivering full content inspection of the entire stream while providing high performance and low latency. This technology is superior to proxy designs that reassemble content using sockets bolted to anti-malware programs, which are plagued with inefficiencies and the overhead of socket memory thrashing, which leads to high latency, low performance and file size limitations.
The RFDPI engine delivers full content inspection to eliminate various forms of malware before they enter the network and provides protection against evolving threats - without file size, performance or latency limitations.
The RFDPI engine also performs full decryption and inspection of TLS/SSL and SSH encrypted traffic as well as non-proxyable applications, enabling complete protection regardless of transport or protocol. It looks deep inside every packets (the header and data part) searching for protocol non-compliance, threats, zero-days, intrusions, and even defined criteria to detect and prevent attacks hidden inside encrypted traffic, cease the spread of infections, and thwart command and control (C&C) communications and data exfiltration. Inclusion and exclusion rules allow total control to customize which traffic is subject to decryption and inspection based on specific organizational compliance and/or legal requirements.
Application traffic analytics enable the identification of productive and unproductive application traffic in real time, and traffic can then be controlled through powerful application-level policies. Application control can be exercised on both a per-user and pergroup basis, along with schedules and exception lists. All application, intrusion prevention and malware signatures are constantly updated by the SonicWall Capture Labs threats research team. Additionally, SonicOS, an advanced purpose-built operating system, provides integrated tools that allow for custom application identification and control.
