New hardware delivers enhanced performance and storage capacity over existing solutions

Dubai – June 15th, 2010: SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNWL), a leading provider of intelligent network security and data protection solutions, today announced the SonicWALL Email Security Appliance (ESA) 3300 and the SonicWALL ESA 4300, bringing market-leading high performance, highly scalable and cost-effective email security to organizations. With the introduction of these two new products and the recently announced SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliance, SonicWALL’s Email Security portfolio offers SMBs, enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) more choices when it comes to deploying email security and anti-spam.

SonicWALL’s new ESA 3300, ESA 4300 and virtual appliances represent a portfolio of solutions that deliver performance and scalability. This user-centric combination results in lower cost of ownership and resource requirements, regardless of the degree of email protection and organization demands.

“SonicWALL’s new email security solutions have been very beneficial to our company,” said Peter Hill, MIS Director for SPL, Inc., an oil and gas measurement company. “My IT department does not need to constantly address huge volumes of email traffic. The email security solution offers a vital combination of capability and ease-of-management in protecting our email, thereby, allowing us to spend more time on business.”

The ESA 4300 allows for future extensibility with the addition of multiple drives, which can significantly increase the scalability and capacity of customers’ email security platforms. The ES 7.2.2 firmware, which was released earlier this year, delivered the Email Security Virtual Appliance. This virtual appliance enables organizations to deploy SonicWALL’s Email Security solutions in a virtual environment, and allows managed service providers (MSPs) to significantly scale and manage their infrastructure.

Patrick Sweeney, Vice President - Product Management, SonicWALL said: “The Virtual Appliance has the potential to be a real industry game-changer due to its ability to scale, not only for end-user customers building out virtualized environments but for MSPs looking to expand their infrastructures and significantly grow their customer base.”

Both the ESA 3300 and ESA 4300 collaborate with the SonicWALL Global Response Intelligent Defense (GRID) Network, which includes millions of SonicWALL anti-spam and email security sensors deployed at sites worldwide, the SonicWALL Threat Center, and SonicWALL Labs to apply continuous updates on worldwide threats over multiple vectors.
