The PRO 2040 is easy to install and administrator friendly. Intuitive configuration wizards simplify even the most demanding tasks. Almost instantaneously, network administrators can install a complete security solution and begin configuring and deploying site-to-site and remote VPNs to safely connect branch offices and telecommuters to the network.
Optimized for networks of up to 75+ nodes or 50 network locations, the PRO 2040 packs the benefits of SonicWALL’s SonicOS operating system into an affordable, rack-mounted appliance, providing business-class performance, advanced features and configuration flexibility.
PRO 2040 customers can take advantage of a bevy of integrated security services from SonicWALL, including Complete Anti-Virus, Content Filtering Service, Global Security Client and more. Unlike other security vendors, with SonicWALL there’s no need to purchase separate appliances or software packages. Support for each service is built right into the appliance so you can spend your budget, and your time, elsewhere.
Ths SonicWALL PRO 2040 currently ships with the Enhanced OS providing unprecedented flexibility for network customization. SonicOS Enhanced activates the fourth port, allowing network administrators to configure two of the ports as a second LAN, a second WAN, a DMZ, another customized network zone, or as a Hardware Fail-over port. A host of advanced features in SonicOS Enhanced, including Object-based Management, ISP Fail-over, Load Balancing, Hardware Fail-over and Policy-based NAT, enable companies to capitalize on their network resources by reducing the management burden and ensuring complete business continuity.
Until recently, these features were typically found only on more expensive appliances geared toward larger, more complex network deployments. Not anymore. With the SonicWALL PRO 2040 platform and an upgrade to SonicOS Enhanced, businesses have a comprehensive solution combining powerful VPN and firewall performance that can be deployed into virtually any network environment.
