"2020 has bought many unexpected things, but one thing we have been expecting is the release of SonicOS 7 and a new generation of kit. For 9-10 years SonicWall have been talking about a transition to running on a Linux based OS and the additional performance, flexibility and functionality that would enable. Now we are here and the performance figures of the new kit look market leading, the new OS is both pretty and functional, the reporting is beginning to be what it should and the glimpse of the new functionality enabled, such as the new policy engine in OSx is very exciting. There is also the promise of much more to come including further hardware releases as well as development of new functionality and rapid expansion of cloud management all of which we look forward to seeing."
