SonicWALL® Global Management System (GMS) Virtual Appliances, SonicWALL ViewPoint Virtual Appliances and SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliances, are the first in the series of SonicWALL Virtual Appliances to deliver greater performance and economic efficiency. Both SonicWALL GMS and ViewPoint Virtual Appliances include a software appliance that has already been pre-installed and pre-configured for VMware environments, and allows the secure and easy deployment of either GMS or ViewPoint within a virtual environment.
Simplicity and savings.
SonicWALL Virtual Appliances reduce complexity by simplifying solution selection, integration and ongoing support. In addition, they ease migration and reduce deployment costs by allowing administrators to move a snapshot of a virtual environment to new physical server infrastructure. SonicWALL Virtual Appliances consolidate resources by running multiple operating systems and applications on a single computer, thereby reducing associated capital expenditures, administrative overhead and power consumption. The pre-configured virtual machine has no professional service fees and no hidden costs.
Hardened appliance OS.
The performance-optimized architecture of SonicWALL Virtual Appliances activates only necessary processes, and the hardened SonicLinux OS prevents users from tampering with its underlying integrity.
Virtualization for SMBs and enterprises.
Leading the industry in providing affordable virtualized security services to the SMB marketplace, SonicWALL Virtual Appliance solutions can be delivered as an efficient and affordable cloud-based service or as a virtual environment on the private LAN. At the same time, SonicWALL Virtual Appliances enable large distributed enterprises to gain significant savings through economies-of-scale, for lower TCO.
Ideal for MSPs.
Managed service providers (MSPs) can deploy SonicWALL Virtual Appliances at their network operations center to offer private cloud offerings to their customers, increasing the efficiency and profitability of offering cloud-based services and easily spinning off new deployments with minimal incremental investment. As such, SonicWALL Virtual Appliances enable MSPs to increase their competitive edge and pass along the cost benefits of virtualization to their SMB customers. An ideal delivery system for resellers, SonicWALL Virtual Appliances can help avoid hardware customs and duties, and streamline “try before you buy” promotions.
