SonicWall SuperMassive Series
Uncompromising, high-performance, next-generation firewall protection for
your enterprise network.

The SonicWall SuperMassive Series is
SonicWall’s next-generation firewall
(NGFW) platform designed for large
networks to deliver scalability, reliability
and deep security at multi-gigabit
speeds with near zero latency.
Built to meet the needs of enterprise,
government, university and
service provider deployments, the
SuperMassive Series is ideal for securing
enterprise networks, data centers and
service providers.
Combining its massively multi-core
architecture and SonicWall’s patented*
Reassembly-Free Deep Packet
Inspection (RFDPI) technology, the
SuperMassive E10000 and 9000 Series
deliver industry-leading application
control, intrusion prevention, malware
protection and SSL inspection at multigigabit speeds. The SuperMassive
Series is designed with power, space
and cooling (PSC) in mind, providing
the leading Gbps/watt NGFW in the
industry for application control and
threat prevention.
®

The SonicWall RFDPI engine scans
every byte of every packet across all
ports, delivering full content inspection
of the entire stream while providing
high performance and low latency. This
technology is superior to outdated
proxy designs that reassemble content
using sockets bolted to anti-malware
programs, which are plagued with
inefficiencies and the overhead of
socket memory thrashing, which leads
to high latency, low performance and
file size limitations. The RFDPI engine
*U.S. Patents 7,310,815; 7,600,257; 7,738,380; 7,835,361

delivers full content inspection to
eliminate threats before they enter
the network and provides protection
against millions of unique malware
variants — without file size, performance
or latency limitations. The RFDPI
engine also provides full inspection
of SSL-encrypted traffic as well as
non-proxyable applications, enabling
complete protection regardless of
transport or protocol.
Application traffic analytics enable
the identification of productive and
unproductive application traffic in real
time, and traffic can then be controlled
through powerful application-level
policies. Application control can be
exercised on both a per-user and pergroup basis, along with schedules and
exception lists. All application, intrusion
prevention and malware signatures are
constantly updated by the SonicWall
Threats Research Team. Additionally,
SonicOS, an advanced purpose-built
operating system, provides integrated
tools that allow for custom application
identification and control.
The design of the SuperMassive
Series firewalls provides near-linear
performance and scales up to 96 cores
of processing power to deliver up to 40
Gbps of firewall throughput, 30 Gbps
of threat prevention, and 30 Gbps of
application inspection and control.
The SuperMassive E10000 Series is
field upgradeable, future-proofing
the security infrastructure investment
as network bandwidth and security
requirements increase.

to confuse detection engines and sneak
malicious code into the network.

The RFDPI engine provides superior
threat protection and application control
without compromising performance.
This patented engine relies on streaming
traffic payload inspection in order to
detect threats at Layers 3-7. The RFDPI
engine takes network streams through
extensive and repeated normalization
and decryption in order to neutralize
advanced evasion techniques that seek

Once a packet undergoes the
necessary pre-processing, including SSL
decryption, it is analyzed against a single
proprietary memory representation of
three signature databases: intrusion
attacks, malware and applications. The
connection state is then advanced to
represent the position of the stream
relative to these databases until it

The RFDPI engine is designed from
the ground up with an emphasis
on providing security scanning at a
high level of performance, to match
both the inherently parallel and evergrowing nature of network traffic. When
combined with 24-, 32-, 48-, 64- or 96core processor systems, this parallelismcentric software architecture scales up
perfectly to address the demands of
deep packet inspection (DPI) at high
traffic loads. The SuperMassive platform
relies on processors that, unlike x86,
are optimized for packet, crypto and
network processing while retaining
flexibility and programmability in the
field — a weak point for ASICs systems.
This flexibility is essential when new code
and behavior updates are necessary
to protect against new attacks that
require updated and more sophisticated
detection techniques.

created. However, the engine can also
be configured for inspection only or, in
the case of application detection, to

Security and protection
The dedicated, in-house SonicWall
Threats Research Team works
on researching and developing
countermeasures to deploy to the
firewalls in the field for up-to-date
protection. The team leverages more
than one million sensors across the
globe for malware samples and for
telemetry feedback on the latest threat
information, which in turn is fed into
the intrusion prevention, anti-malware
and application detection capabilities.
SonicWall NGFW customers with the
latest security capabilities are provided
continuously updated threat protection
around the clock, with new updates
taking effect immediately without

reboots or interruptions. The signatures
on the appliances protect against wide
classes of attacks, covering up to tens
of thousands of individual threats with a
single signature.
In addition to the countermeasures on
the appliance, SuperMassive firewalls
also have access to the SonicWall
CloudAV Service, which extends the
onboard signature intelligence with
more than seventeen million signatures,
and growing. This CloudAV database is
accessed via a proprietary, lightweight
protocol by the firewall to augment the
inspection done on the appliance. With
Capture Advanced Threat Protection,
a cloud-based network sandbox,
organizations can examine suspicious

files and code in an isolated environment
to stop advanced threats such as zeroday attacks.

Application intelligence and control
Application intelligence informs
administrators of application traffic
traversing their network so they can
schedule application controls based on
business priority, throttle unproductive
applications and block potentially
dangerous applications. Real-time
visualization identifies traffic anomalies
as they happen, enabling immediate
countermeasures against potential
inbound or outbound attacks or
performance bottlenecks.
SonicWall Application Traffic Analytics
provide granular insight into application
traffic, bandwidth utilization and
security threats, as well as powerful
troubleshooting and forensics
capabilities. Additionally, secure single
sign-on (SSO) capabilities ease the user
experience, increase productivity and
reduce support calls. Management of
application intelligence and control
is simplified by the intuitive webbased interface.

Global management and reporting
For larger, distributed enterprise
deployments, the optional SonicWall
Global Management System (GMS )
provides administrators a unified,
secure and extensible platform to
®

manage SonicWall security appliances.
It enables enterprises to easily
consolidate the management of security
appliances, reduce administrative
and troubleshooting complexities,
and govern all operational aspects of
the security infrastructure, including
centralized policy management
and enforcement, real-time event
monitoring, analytics and reporting,
and more. GMS also meets the firewall
change management requirements
of enterprises through a workflow

automation feature. With GMS workflow
automation, all enterprises will gain
agility and confidence in deploying the
right firewall policies, at the right time
and in conformance to compliance
regulations. GMS provides a better
way to manage network security by
business processes and service levels,
dramatically simplifying lifecycle
management of your overall security
environments as compared to managing
on a device-by-device basis.
