SonicWALL has launched an integrated security and Lan
switching appliance targeted directly at SMEs.
SonicWALL PRO 1260 combines deep packet security and flexible
switching options into a unified solution ideal for small network
applications. The appliance ships in an unrestricted node
configuration and integrates support for SonicWALL’s portfolio of
security services together with 24-port Lan switching in a single,
scalable solution.
Specific functions include a deep inspection firewall, IPSec
VPN, gateway anti-virus, intrusion prevention, and content
filtering capabilities with a wire-speed, 24-port auto-sensing MDIX
Layer 2 switch. It is available in two options, either Standard,
offering an unmanaged option for straightforward networks, or
Enhanced, offering comprehensive, managed switching including the
ability to create custom deep inspection security zones between
each of the switch ports.
“[SMEs] have a lot to gain from an integrated solution that
saves time and money, and can be deployed and managed without
difficulty,” said Matt Medeiros, president and chief executive at
SonicWALL. “All networks require security and switching, but few
[SMEs] have access to the dedicated IT personnel needed to manage
these functions.”
