SonicWALL TZ 190 Wireless Series

Overview:

Many businesses today are forced to choose between network security and network performance. Continuously increasing levels of attacks—viruses, worms, intrusions, malicious content and other threats—require the use of a broad range of network security services to provide sufficient protection. At the same time, the availability and use of faster broadband services is becoming commonplace. This means that today’s firewall must scan ever-increasing amounts of network traffic in greater depth than ever before. As a result, businesses are forced to compromise either firewall performance or network security just to keep their business functioning.

With the SonicWALL® TZ Series of network security appliances there is no compromise. The TZ Series delivers industry leading Unified Threat Management (UTM) network protection services, featuring SonicWALL’s patented Reassembly-free Deep Packet Inspection technology*, to detect and remove threats. In addition, the TZ Series provides unparalleled throughput performance, up to 100 Mbps, to ensure network performance in not compromised while providing the security every business requires.

The TZ Series is designed for small and medium sized businesses as well as distributed enterprises with remote and branch offices. The TZ Series consists of the SonicWALL TZ 180, TZ 190 and TZ 210 appliances all of which provide cost-effective yet uncompromising security and performance and depending on the model include features such as 802.11b/g/n wireless and 3G wireless broadband.

Each TZ Series appliance is available as a SonicWALL® TotalSecure™ solution, conveniently bundling all hardware and services needed for comprehensive network protection from a wide range of emerging network threats.
