High Availability Pair for Continuous Operation
The SonicWall NSa 3800 High Availability appliance is sold as a matched unit to build a failover cluster. Two identical devices run SonicOS with one designated primary and the other secondary to maintain an uninterrupted connection. This configuration targets mid-size and distributed enterprises that cannot tolerate downtime on their security perimeter.
Suited for Multi-Gigabit Threat Prevention Needs
Organisations requiring high port density with 10 GbE interfaces and integrated security services such as intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, malware analysis, URL filtering and DNS Security will benefit. Buyers who need only a single standalone firewall or who lack a second identical appliance for the HA pair should consider a different model.
Rack-Mount Deployment
Installation follows standard rack-mount procedures for each appliance and requires a second unit of the exact same model to form the HA cluster. Common issues arise when the secondary unit firmware version differs from the primary or when the HA heartbeat link is not cabled correctly, causing failover to fail.
