Gen 7 Desktop SonicWall Firewall with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Dual SFP+ 10G Expansion, SD-WAN, and Zero-Touch Deployment for Growing Networks
The SonicWall TZ470 is a Gen 7 next-generation firewall in a desktop form factor that delivers 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet across 8 ports with two SFP+ 10G expansion slots for fiber or high-speed copper uplinks. The combination of multi-gigabit wired throughput and 10G expansion gives the TZ470 headroom that standard gigabit firewalls cannot match, making it the right fit for offices and branches deploying 802.11ax access points, NVMe storage, and bandwidth-intensive cloud applications. The unit ships as hardware only, ready to pair with SonicWall Essential, Threat, or Advanced security subscriptions based on the deployment requirements.
The TZ470 sits above the TZ370 in SonicWall's Gen 7 desktop lineup, adding 2.5 GbE ports and dual SFP+ slots where the TZ370 provides standard gigabit only. Built-in and expandable storage up to 256GB supports on-box logging, reporting, firmware backup, and content caching. Secure SD-WAN routes traffic across multiple ISP connections based on application priority, and Zero-Touch Deployment with the SonicExpress mobile app provisions remote sites from a central network management console without dispatching a technician. An optional second power supply provides redundancy for always-on deployments.
Where the TZ470 Fits
- Mid-size offices and growing businesses with 50 to 100 users where the 2.5 GbE ports eliminate the gigabit bottleneck between Wi-Fi 6 access points and the internet uplink, dual SFP+ 10G slots connect to the core switch or WAN aggregation over fiber, and expandable storage up to 256GB keeps logs and reports on-box for compliance and troubleshooting
- Multi-site retail, healthcare, and professional services deployments where SD-WAN failover across two ISP connections keeps cloud applications and point-of-sale systems running during an outage, Zero-Touch Deployment provisions each location remotely without on-site IT staff, and the optional redundant power supply maintains uptime in environments that cannot tolerate a single point of failure
- Government contractors and regulated industries where TAA compliance meets federal procurement requirements, Gen 7 NGFW architecture with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection and reassembly-free deep packet inspection catches encrypted threats that older firewalls miss, and AES-256 IPsec VPN tunnels secure branch-to-headquarters traffic across public internet connections
What the TZ470 Delivers
- 2.5 GbE Ports with Dual SFP+ 10G Expansion: 8 multi-gigabit 2.5 GbE RJ-45 ports plus 2 SFP+ 10G expansion slots for fiber or direct-attach copper uplinks. Desktop and rack-mountable form factor at 7.5 x 5.3 x 1.4 inches and 1.83 pounds.
- Gen 7 NGFW Security Stack: Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI), reassembly-free deep packet inspection, gateway antivirus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, content filtering, application control, and SSL/TLS decryption. AES-256, AES-192, AES-128, and 3DES encryption.
- SD-WAN with Zero-Touch Deployment: Secure SD-WAN routes application traffic across multiple WAN links based on priority and link health. Zero-Touch Deployment and SonicExpress mobile app enable remote site provisioning. SD-Branch ready for centralized management of SonicWall switches and SonicWave access points.
- Expandable Storage and Redundant Power: Built-in storage with expansion up to 256GB for logging, reporting, caching, and firmware backup. Optional second power supply for redundancy. TAA compliant for government and regulated-industry procurement.
