Purpose-Built Hardware Firewall with Multi-Gigabit Ports, SFP+ Fiber Expansion, and 2-Year Essential Threat Protection for Growing Networks
The SonicWall TZ470 (02-SSC-6796) is a purpose-built hardware firewall that provides dedicated security processing, multi-gigabit throughput, and a 2-year Secure Upgrade Plus Essential Edition license in a compact desktop appliance. Unlike software firewalls that share CPU and memory with other applications, the TZ470 runs SonicOS 7.0 on dedicated hardware with eight 2.5/1 GbE RJ-45 ports and two SFP+ expansion slots, delivering consistent firewall performance under load while inspecting encrypted traffic, scanning for malware, and enforcing application-level policies across the network.
The TZ470 is part of the SonicWall Gen 7 TZ Series and ships with 2 years of Essential Edition services including Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, and Content Filtering. The Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine scans all traffic in real time without proxying or buffering, integrated SD-WAN provides intelligent WAN path selection, and TLS 1.3 decryption inspects encrypted traffic that software firewalls typically pass uninspected. Built-in storage expandable to 256GB handles local logging and reporting, and Zero-Touch Deployment enables remote provisioning across multiple sites.
Where the TZ470 Fits
- Growing offices upgrading from a consumer router or software firewall where dedicated security hardware eliminates the performance tradeoffs of running firewall services on a shared device, eight 2.5 GbE ports provide room for network expansion, and the 2-year Essential license covers threat protection costs through the initial deployment period
- Branch offices and satellite locations requiring centralized security management where Zero-Touch Deployment provisions the firewall remotely without on-site IT visits, integrated SD-WAN optimizes traffic across multiple WAN links, and SonicWall Network Security Manager provides centralized policy management and reporting across all branch locations
- Professional services firms, accounting offices, and legal practices where RFDPI and DPI-SSL inspect all traffic including encrypted sessions to protect sensitive client data, Application Intelligence identifies and controls cloud application usage, and the compact 7.5 x 5.3 x 1.4-inch desktop form factor fits into office environments without a dedicated network closet
What the TZ470 Delivers
- Dedicated Hardware Firewall Processing: Purpose-built security appliance with SonicOS 7.0 on dedicated hardware. Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection scans all traffic in real time without proxying. DPI-SSL decrypts and inspects TLS 1.3 encrypted traffic.
