SonicWALL PRO 2040

Today's highly connected organizations move vast amounts of critical data across extensive, often complex network deployments. The value of this data is extraordinary – as is the need to move it quickly, reliably and securely. To maintain and safeguard business continuity, network administrators require a solution that gives them the ability to configure their network architecture to meet the needs of their organization, while continuing to deliver advanced features and powerful performance tailored for fast-moving network environments.

The SonicWALL PRO 2040 is part of SonicWALL's PRO Series, delivering complete business continuity for small to mid-sized networks. With integrated support for SonicWALL's Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, the PRO 2040 provides real-time protection against viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans and other malicious threats. The PRO 2040 also combines built-in anti-spam protection and support for SonicWALL's Content Filtering Service to provide enhanced productivity and network utilization. Powered by SonicWALL's next-generation SonicOS operating system and a high-performance hardware architecture, the PRO 2040 delivers business-class firewall throughput and VPN concentration. Outstanding price/value features make the PRO 2040 the ideal solution for businesses that need rock solid network protection coupled with fast, secure VPN access for remote employees.

Available as an optional upgrade for the PRO 2040, SonicWALL's feature-rich SonicOS Enhanced operating system provides a suite of configuration flexibility and redundancy features typically associated with more expensive appliances, including ISP Failover, WAN Redundancy, Load Balancing, Object-based Management, Policy-based NAT and more. In addition, upgrading to SonicOS Enhanced activates a fourth, user-defined 10/100 Ethernet interface that can be custom-configured either as a second WAN, a second LAN, a DMZ, another customized security zone or as a Hardware Failover port, ensuring continuous network uptime. With its innovative Web interface, the PRO 2040 is the ultimate choice for small-to-mid-sized networks requiring robust internal and external security, network configuration flexibility and ease of use.

The PRO 2040 can be easily managed remotely as part of a multi-firewall and VPN environment through a Web interface or using SonicWALL’s industry-leading Global Management System (GMS). This gives network administrators an economical yet powerful set of tools for rapid deployment, configuration, and management of global security policies from a central location.

Every SonicWALL PRO 2040 ships with SonicOS Standard and includes:

• Real-Time Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention. The PRO 2040 extends security from the network core to the perimeter by integrating support for SonicWALL's Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, delivering real-time protection against the latest blended threats, including viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, software vulnerabilities and other malicious code.¹
• Powerful Content Filtering. The PRO 2040 supports SonicWALL's Content Filtering Service, providing an enterprise-class, scalable content filtering service that enhances productivity and security without requiring additional server or deployment costs.
• Deep Packet Inspection Firewall. The PRO 2040 features a configurable, high performance deep packet inspection firewall for extended protection to key Internet services such as Web, e-mail, file transfer, Windows services, and DNS.
• Hardware AES Support. The SonicWALL PRO 2040 reflects SonicWALL's commitment to open security standards by including hardware-based acceleration support for the 3DES and AES encryption algorithms.
• Dynamic DNS. The SonicWALL PRO 2040 includes Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) support, which drastically reduces the costs associated with hosting e-mail servers, Web servers and site-to-site VPN by allowing the use of dynamic IP addresses.¹
• Comprehensive Central Management Support. Every SonicWALL Internet security appliance can be managed using SonicWALL's award-winning Global Management System, which provides network administrators with the tools for simplified configuration, enforcement and management of global security policies, VPN, and services, all from a central location.

An optional software upgrade for the SonicWALL PRO 2040, SonicOS Enhanced adds:

• Real-Time Blacklist Spam Filtering. The PRO 2040 provides the ability to use DNS to query Real-Time Black List (RBL) services that track well-known spam and open-relay SMTP servers, and to deny SMTP connections from servers that appear on the lists.²
• Flexible Fourth Port. Upgrading to SonicOS Enhanced activates a fourth user-assigned port on the SonicWALL PRO 2040 that can be configured either as an additional LAN, WAN or DMZ, or as a Hardware Failover port, offering greater network configuration flexibility.
• Integrated Wireless LAN Services. In addition to being an integrated firewall and VPN security appliance, the PRO 2040 functions as a secure wireless switch and controller that automatically detects and configures SonicPoints, SonicWALL wireless access points, as they are added to the network while simultaneously enforcing security policies on all wired and wireless traffic.
• ISP Failover and Load Balancing. The SonicWALL PRO 2040 ensures continuous uptime for Internet and IPSec VPN connectivity by failing over to a second ISP link should the primary link fail. Through ISP Failover, the PRO 2040 delivers highly reliable network connectivity for constant access to critical data.
• WAN Redundancy and Load Balancing. The SonicWALL PRO 2040 offers the ability to configure a secondary WAN port, delivering highly reliable network connectivity and robust performance. This secondary WAN port can be used in "active-active" load sharing or fail-over configuration providing a highly efficient method for maximizing total network bandwidth.
• Object-based Management. The SonicWALL PRO 2040 provides the ability to define an object such as a user group, network address range, service or interface. When security policies change, the administrator can modify the pre-defined object and propagate the changes instantly without redefining rules, enabling businesses to implement and manage security policies easily and consistently.
• Multiple Interfaces per Security Zone. Network administrators can group multiple physical interfaces on the SonicWALL PRO 2040 into logical "zones" for ease of management and flexibility. This provides tremendous flexibility, scalability and added internal security when deploying SonicWALL firewalls in various network topologies.
• Policy-based NAT. In addition to NAT (many-to-one) functionality, the SonicWALL PRO 2040 exposes control of NAT policies to administrators for one-to-one NAT, many-to-many NAT, one-to-many NAT, inbound Port Address Translation (PAT), flexible NAT (for overlapping IP addresses), as well as NAT policies on selective source/destination/source translations. The result is greater control and flexibility to support and manage various NAT requirements.
