5 Gbps Desktop Firewall with 8 Multi-Gig Ports, 500 VPN Tunnels, and Secure SD-WAN for Mid-Size Organizations and Distributed Enterprise Networks
The SonicWall TZ680 (03-SSC-1839) is the top-tier Gen 8 TZ-series desktop firewall, delivering 5 Gbps firewall throughput, 3.07 Gbps IPS throughput, and 2.56 Gbps VPN throughput through eight multi-gig (5G/2.5G) ports and two SFP expansion slots. With 26,000 new connections per second and 500 concurrent VPN tunnels, the TZ680 provides the highest performance available in the TZ desktop form factor for mid-size organizations that need enterprise-grade deep packet inspection without moving to a rack-mounted network appliance.
Running SonicOS 8 with the full SonicWall security stack, the TZ680 performs Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection, Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI), gateway antivirus, intrusion prevention, application control, content filtering, and TLS/SSL decryption on every traffic flow at wire speed. Secure SD-WAN connects distributed branches over broadband-based VPN tunnels, and centralized management through SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) with Zero-Touch Deployment scales across multi-site deployments where the TZ680 serves as either the headquarters anchor or the highest-performance branch appliance.
Where the SonicWall TZ680 Fits
- Mid-size organizations with heavy network traffic where the 5 Gbps firewall throughput and 26,000 new connections per second handle hundreds of concurrent users running cloud applications, VoIP, and video conferencing with deep packet inspection active on all traffic, and the multi-gig ports eliminate LAN-side bottlenecks
- Distributed enterprise headquarters and high-traffic branches where the TZ680 serves as the primary perimeter appliance connecting SD-WAN tunnels from dozens of branch locations, the 500 VPN tunnel capacity covers site-to-site plus remote access connections, and NSM provides unified management across TZ-series appliances at every site
- Organizations requiring maximum desktop-class performance where the step from rack-mounted NSa-series appliances is not justified by traffic volume, the TZ680 delivers the highest throughput in the TZ lineup while maintaining the desktop form factor that fits in office environments without dedicated network closets
