SonicWall NSa 3800 Gen 8 Firewall Hardware with 12 Gbps Throughput, 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 10 SFP+ Expansion Slots, Dual Power Supply Support, and SonicOS 8 for Mid-Range Enterprise Deployments
The SonicWall NSa 3800 (03-SSC-4663) is a Gen 8 mid-range next-generation firewall hardware appliance delivering 12 Gbps firewall throughput, 1 Gbps VPN and IPS throughput, and 90,000 new connections per second in a 1U rack-mountable chassis. This hardware-only SKU provides the NSa 3800 appliance without bundled security subscriptions, allowing organizations to pair the platform with their choice of TotalSecure Essential, Advanced, or Managed Protection Security Suite licensing based on their specific security requirements and budget.
The NSa 3800 runs SonicOS 8, SonicWall's Gen 8 operating system built with a modern user interface and enterprise-grade workflow automation. The 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and 10 SFP+ expansion slots provide high port density for complex network segmentation and 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber connectivity, while the dual power supply support and high availability clustering deliver the hardware redundancy that production environments require. Built-in SD-WAN, zero-touch deployment, and unified switch and access point management consolidate network operations into a single platform.
Where the SonicWall NSa 3800 Hardware Fits
- Organizations purchasing firewall hardware separately from security subscriptions where the hardware-only SKU allows IT procurement to acquire the NSa 3800 appliance independently and select the TotalSecure subscription tier that matches their security requirements and budget, whether Essential for core protection, Advanced for Capture ATP and RTDMI, or Managed for fully managed operations
- Medium and large enterprise perimeter deployments where the 12 Gbps firewall throughput and 90,000 new connections per second handle the traffic demands of hundreds of users running cloud applications and SaaS workloads, the 24 RJ-45 ports with 10 SFP+ slots provide the port density for complex network segmentation, and the 1U rack-mountable chassis fits standard network infrastructure
- High-availability production environments where the dual power supply support and high availability clustering eliminate single points of failure at the network perimeter, the 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology handles multi-gigabit WAN and LAN connections without creating a bottleneck, and the SonicOS 8 operating system provides enterprise-grade management and policy automation
