SonicWall TZ680 Secure Upgrade Plus Advanced Edition with 5 Gbps Firewall Throughput, 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, 2 SFP Expansion Slots, 500 VPN Tunnels, and 2-Year Advanced Security Services for Legacy Appliance Migration
The SonicWall TZ680 Secure Upgrade Plus Advanced Edition (03-SSC-7003) provides organizations running legacy SonicWall appliances with a cost-effective migration path to the flagship Gen 8 TZ desktop firewall, bundling the TZ680 hardware with a 2-year Advanced security subscription through the Secure Upgrade Plus tradeup program. The TZ680 delivers 5 Gbps firewall throughput, 320 MB/s VPN throughput, 384 MB/s IPS throughput, and 26,000 new connections per second across 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP expansion slots in a 2.14 lb desktop chassis running SonicOS 8, with 500 concurrent VPN tunnels for large remote workforces.
The 2-year 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, URL Filtering, DNS Security, and SSL/TLS inspection with decryption. The 5 Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet support eliminates the firewall as a bottleneck on high-bandwidth campus and ISP connections, while built-in SD-WAN and SD-Branch integration unify firewall, switch, and access point management from a single console. The 16.99W power consumption and desktop form factor at 5.1 x 7.5 x 1.4 inches fit on a shelf or in a small network closet, and the 2-year subscription term locks in pricing and security coverage through the next hardware refresh cycle.
Where the SonicWall TZ680 Secure Upgrade Plus Fits
