SonicWall TZ470 Desktop Next-Generation Firewall with 3.5 Gbps Throughput, 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 2 SFP+ Expansion Slots, 2.5G Ethernet, and SD-WAN for Small Business and Distributed Enterprise Deployments
The SonicWall TZ470 (03-SSC-3011) is the top of the Gen 7 TZ desktop firewall line, delivering 3.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 192 MB/s VPN throughput, and 256 MB/s IPS throughput across 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 SFP+ expansion slots in a 1.82 lb desktop form factor. The 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet support and SFP+ fiber connectivity position the TZ470 for small businesses and distributed enterprise SD-Branch locations that need more throughput and port flexibility than the TZ270 or TZ370 can provide while staying in the compact desktop chassis format.
This is the hardware-only SKU that allows organizations to select and activate security service subscriptions separately, giving IT teams the flexibility to match subscription tiers and contract terms to each deployment location. The TZ470 runs SonicOS 7.0 with support for Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection, SSL/TLS/SSH inspection with decryption, Gateway Antivirus, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, Content Filtering, Capture ATP cloud sandboxing, Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection, and DNS Security when subscriptions are activated. The 200 VPN tunnel capacity and 12,000 new connections per second handle the traffic demands of 30-75 user environments, while built-in SD-WAN, zero-touch deployment, and SonicWall Switch and SonicWave access point integration provide unified network management from a single console.
Where the SonicWall TZ470 Fits
- Growing small businesses with 30-75 users where the 3.5 Gbps firewall throughput provides headroom for increasing encrypted traffic volumes beyond the TZ370's 3 Gbps capacity, the 2 SFP+ expansion slots add fiber connectivity for direct uplinks to switches or ISP handoffs, and the 12,000 new connections per second handles burst patterns from larger user populations running cloud applications and SaaS workloads
- Distributed enterprise SD-Branch locations where the built-in SD-WAN capability replaces dedicated SD-WAN appliances with application-aware path selection across multiple WAN connections, the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet support future-proofs branch connectivity for higher-bandwidth ISP tiers, and the zero-touch deployment provisions units shipped to remote locations without dispatching on-site technicians
- Professional offices with fiber ISP connections where the SFP+ slots accept fiber modules for direct connection to ISP handoffs or building fiber infrastructure, the 256 MB/s IPS throughput maintains full threat inspection at multi-gigabit WAN speeds, and the hardware-only SKU allows IT to select the appropriate subscription tier based on each location's specific security requirements and budget
