SonicWall NSa 2800 Secure Upgrade Plus Advanced Edition with 12 Gbps Firewall Throughput, 16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 3 SFP+ Slots, and Advanced Security Services Plus Network Security Manager for Mid-Range Deployments
The SonicWall NSa 2800 Secure Upgrade Plus Advanced Edition (03-SSC-4681) bundles the Gen 8 NSa 2800 mid-range rack-mount firewall with Advanced security services and Network Security Manager through a Secure Upgrade Plus tradeup path, delivering 12 Gbps firewall throughput, 704 MB/s VPN throughput, and 896 MB/s IPS throughput across 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 3 SFP+ expansion slots in a 1U chassis running SonicOS 8. The Secure Upgrade Plus path provides organizations migrating from older SonicWall appliances with the complete Advanced security stack plus centralized cloud management, bundled into a single subscription that simplifies procurement and reduces upfront capital.
The Advanced subscription activates SonicWall's full network threat protection stack including Gateway Antivirus, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, Content Filtering, Capture ATP cloud sandboxing with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection, Anti-Spyware, URL Filtering, DNS Security, and SSL/TLS inspection with decryption, while the included Network Security Manager provides centralized policy management, reporting, and analytics across deployed firewalls. The 50,000 new connections per second and 1,000 concurrent VPN tunnels handle traffic from 100-500 user network environments, and the 10 Gigabit Ethernet support with 3 SFP+ fiber slots connects directly to high-speed campus infrastructure without creating a firewall bottleneck.
Where the SonicWall NSa 2800 Secure Upgrade Plus Fits
- Organizations upgrading legacy SonicWall appliances to Gen 8 where the Secure Upgrade Plus path bundles the NSa 2800 hardware with Advanced security services and Network Security Manager at a tradeup price point, the 12 Gbps firewall throughput provides a significant performance jump from older NSa and TZ models, and the SonicOS 8 operating system delivers a modernized management interface with zero-touch deployment for faster rollout
- Mid-range enterprise environments needing centralized management where the included Network Security Manager provides cloud-based policy administration, reporting, and analytics across multiple firewall deployments from a single console, the 896 MB/s IPS throughput maintains full threat inspection at multi-gigabit WAN speeds, and the 1,000 VPN tunnel capacity supports site-to-site and remote access connectivity across distributed locations
- Campus and branch networks with 10G fiber infrastructure where the 3 SFP+ slots accept fiber modules for direct 10G connections to core switches or ISP handoffs, the 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high port density for network segmentation without additional switching, and the 52.80W power consumption keeps operating costs low for a rack-mount appliance at this performance tier
