SonicWall TZ470 Secure Upgrade Essential Edition with Essential Security Services, 3.5 Gbps Firewall Throughput, 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 2 SFP+ Slots, and SD-WAN for SMB and Distributed Enterprise Deployments
The SonicWall TZ470 Secure Upgrade Essential Edition (03-SSC-3012) bundles the TZ470 desktop firewall hardware with an Essential Protection Service Suite subscription, providing a single-SKU deployment package for small and midsize businesses upgrading from older SonicWall firewalls. The TZ470 delivers 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, delivering the highest throughput in the TZ desktop lineup for organizations that need multi-gigabit deep packet inspection in a compact form factor.
The Essential subscription activates SonicWall's core security stack including Gateway Antivirus, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, Content Filtering, Anti-Spyware, URL Filtering, and Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection with SSL/TLS/SSH inspection. The 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet support and SFP+ fiber connectivity position the TZ470 for environments with higher-bandwidth ISP connections or fiber infrastructure, while the 12,000 new connections per second and 200 VPN tunnels handle the traffic demands of 30-75 user environments. 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 Essential Bundle Fits
- SMB environments upgrading from legacy firewalls where the Secure Upgrade tradeup path provides a cost-effective migration from older SonicWall TZ or NSA models to Gen 7 hardware with Essential security services included, the 3.5 Gbps firewall throughput represents a significant performance increase over previous-generation desktop firewalls, and the 2 SFP+ slots add fiber connectivity that older TZ models lacked
- Professional offices with 30-75 users where the 3.5 Gbps throughput handles full deep packet inspection across growing encrypted traffic from cloud applications and SaaS workloads, the Essential subscription provides the core security services most SMB environments need at a value-oriented price point, and the 1.82 lb desktop form factor fits on a shelf or in a small network closet without dedicated rack infrastructure
- Multi-site distributed deployments where the built-in SD-WAN routes application traffic across dual WAN connections with intelligent path selection, the zero-touch deployment provisions units at remote locations without dispatching technicians, and the 19.95W power consumption keeps operating costs low across fleet deployments
