New Version of Sonic OS to Enhance Productivity and Protection

SonicWALL has introduced the latest version of its proprietary firmware, which the company hopes will bring organisations one step closer to reducing management and operational costs.

The SonicOS 4.0 is said to provide users with easily managed network productivity and protection through new features and configuration flexibility, reducing both risk and administrative burden for IT managers.

Designed to operate on all SonicWALL firewall appliances, SonicOS 4.0 combines high-performance delivery of Unified Threat Management protection based on SonicWALL’s reassembly-free deep packet inspection capabilities, together with multiple new features. These include application firewall, stateful failover with state synchronization, high availability, single sign-on, and inbound load balancing.

“SonicOS 4.0 enhances the delivery, configuration and customization of constantly updated threat protection services via SonicWALL network security appliances. This marks an important milestone in our ability to deliver high performance threat prevention and protection for businesses of all sizes,” said John Gmuender, vice president of Engineering at SonicWALL.
