The SonicWALL PRO 4100 is a high-speed Internet gateway that integrates anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, anti-spam, anti-phishing and content filtering technologies into a single appliance.

At the core of the PRO 4100 is a powerful deep packet inspection engine that scans traffic in real time and eliminates malicious threats at the gateway before they have a chance to infect your network. Dynamic network protection is accomplished through automated security updates from the SonicWALL data center. Your network is always protected from emerging threats without requiring any administrator intervention. The PRO 4100 receives up-to-the-minute information about the latest Internet security risks via a continuous connection to SonicWALL's dynamically updated signature database, so even the newest threats can't get through.

Robust “Trusted Network” Protection Across 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

The PRO 4100 includes a total of 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing ample port density to segment your network into multiple trusted zones. For example, you can use the ports to create separate LANs or DMZs, a second WAN and other customized network zones. You can also configure a hardware failover port for continuous network uptime. For more complex network deployments, the PRO 4100 extends security to both virtual and connected wireless LANs, protecting against threats that originate inside your corporate network or between networked departments and data center zones.

Innovative SonicWALL Clean VPN™ Technology

Remote connectivity can improve the productivity of your work force, but it can also expose your network to possible attack. The PRO 4100 features innovative SonicWALL Clean VPN technology that decontaminates mobile user and branch office connections before they can threaten your network. In addition to scanning remote traffic streams for threats, Clean VPN technology alerts you of trouble, enabling potential threats to be isolated and contained.

Enterprise-class Networking, Routing and Firewall Features

The PRO 4100 provides enterprise-class networking, routing and firewall features in a single device. By combining multiple technologies into one appliance, the PRO 4100 reduces deployment time, automates ongoing operation and enhances the reliability of your network. The PRO 4100 permits flexible deployment, seamless integration and granular access control for today's high performance and complex networked environments. You can rely on the PRO 4100 for absolute network protection, productivity and control.
