Overview
NSa 2800
The entry point to the Gen 8 rack range: 8 Gbps of firewall inspection and sixteen gigabit ports in a 1U chassis.
Where the NSa 2800 fits
The entry point to the Gen 8 rack range: 8 Gbps of firewall inspection and sixteen gigabit ports in a 1U chassis. It suits a medium business or a large branch that needs rack-mount port density and multi-gigabit threat prevention. Every Gen 8 NSa runs the same SonicOS 8 build and the same security services, so the choice between them is capacity rather than capability.
