SonicWall NSa 4800 Gen 8 Data Center Firewall with 20 Gbps Throughput, 24 Ports, 8 SFP+ Expansion Slots, and 3000 VPN Tunnels for Multi-Gigabit Enterprise Network Protection
The SonicWall NSa 4800 (03-SSC-1845) is a Gen 8 1U rack-mount data center firewall that delivers 20 Gbps firewall throughput with 24 GbE ports and 8 SFP+ expansion slots supporting 40G, 25G, and 10G connections. The NSa 4800 provides multi-gigabit threat analysis across the full security stack including intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, anti-spyware, content filtering, and TLS/SSL deep packet inspection without creating a network bottleneck at the throughput levels enterprise data center environments demand.
Built on the SonicOS 8 platform, the NSa 4800 supports 3000 simultaneous VPN tunnels with IPsec encryption (AES-256, TLS 1.3) and handles 140,000 new connections per second for high-density network environments with hundreds of concurrent users. The integrated security stack includes Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI), Capture Advanced Threat Protection with cloud sandboxing, DNS Security, Content Filtering Service (CFS 5.0), and centralized management through SonicWall Network Security Manager for single-pane visibility across distributed firewall deployments.
Where the SonicWall NSa 4800 Fits
- Multi-site enterprise data centers where 20 Gbps firewall throughput and 8 SFP+ expansion slots handle the aggregate traffic from hundreds of users and devices across 40G, 25G, and 10G uplinks, the 1U rack-mount form factor conserves cabinet space in high-density deployments, and centralized NSM management provides single-pane policy administration across all locations
- High-throughput campus and branch aggregation points where the 24-port configuration with 3000 VPN tunnels consolidates site-to-site and remote access connectivity into a single appliance, the 140,000 new connections per second capacity supports burst traffic from large user populations, and the Gen 8 deep packet inspection engine maintains full threat prevention at line rate
- Regulated industry deployments requiring full-stack security where RTDMI, Capture ATP cloud sandboxing, DNS Security, and gateway antivirus provide layered protection against advanced persistent threats and zero-day exploits, the TLS 1.3 inspection engine decrypts and scans encrypted traffic without degrading throughput, and expandable onboard storage supports local logging and forensic analysis
What the SonicWall NSa 4800 Delivers
- 20 Gbps Multi-Gigabit Firewall Platform: 20 Gbps firewall throughput with reassembly-free deep packet inspection across the full security stack. Gen 8 architecture with 140,000 new connections per second. 24 GbE RJ-45 ports plus 8 SFP+ expansion slots supporting 40G/25G/10G connections.
