The SonicWall TZ480 TotalSecure Advanced Edition 1-Year (03-SSC-6973) bundles the Gen 8 TZ480 desktop firewall with a 1-year TotalSecure Advanced subscription, delivering 4 Gbps firewall throughput, 256 MB/s VPN throughput, and 281.60 MB/s IPS throughput across 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP expansion slots in a 1.81 lb desktop chassis running SonicOS 8. The TZ480 is the mid-range Gen 8 TZ model designed for small-to-medium businesses and distributed enterprise SD-Branch locations, handling 18,000 new connections per second with 5 Gigabit Ethernet support and built-in SD-WAN for multi-WAN path selection.
The TotalSecure Advanced subscription activates the complete SonicWall security stack including Gateway Antivirus, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, Content Filtering, Capture ATP cloud sandboxing with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam, URL Filtering, DNS Security, and SSL/TLS inspection with decryption. The SD-Branch architecture integrates SonicWall Switch, SonicWave access point, and Capture Client management into a single network security console through Network Security Manager, while zero-touch deployment provisions units shipped to remote locations without on-site technicians. The 13.77W power consumption, redundant power support, and built-in expandable storage deliver enterprise reliability in a compact desktop form factor at 5.1 x 7.5 x 1.4 inches.
