Managed Protection Security Suite is a renewal and runs to three years; the other suites run to five.
Overview
NSa 6800
The top of the Gen 8 NSa range: 40G QSFP uplinks, 55 Gbps of firewall inspection and 20 million SPI connections.
Where the NSa 6800 fits
The top of the Gen 8 NSa range: 40G QSFP uplinks, 55 Gbps of firewall inspection and 20 million SPI connections. It suits a data-centre edge or a large campus core, where 40G uplinks and TLS inspection at scale are the constraint. 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.
