SonicWall NSa 3700 rack-mount firewall
The SonicWall NSa 3700 is a rack-mountable next-generation firewall designed for medium to large enterprises. It ships with a three-year Advanced Protection Security Suite and one year of Cloud Secure Edge service. The appliance provides deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application control and SSL decryption in a single platform. It targets organisations that need comprehensive perimeter security without creating a network bottleneck.
Sustained inspection throughput under load
Firewall inspection throughput reaches 5.5 Gbps while threat prevention throughput holds at 3.5 Gbps. Application inspection throughput is rated at 4.2 Gbps and IPS throughput at 3.8 Gbps. Anti-malware inspection also sustains 3.5 Gbps during continuous traffic analysis. These figures represent steady-state performance with all security services active rather than short burst capacities.
Thermals noise and power in normal use
The unit operates between 0 °C and 40 °C with a storage range of -40 °C to 70 °C and tolerates 5 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity. Maximum power consumption is 36.3 W from a 60 W supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. A redundant power supply is included for high-availability deployments. The 1U chassis measures 43 by 32.5 by 4.5 cm and weighs 4.6 kg.
