Figures are SonicWall’s published NSv XS/S/M/L specifications (datasheet, August 2026). Throughput is measured per RFC 2544 with default settings; actual performance depends on the host and on which services are enabled.
Public cloud is not the same deployment as private: VLAN interfaces are unavailable on AWS and Azure, jumbo frames are unsupported on both, high availability is unavailable on AWS, and the interface count is lower on the XS, S and M.
NSv S
Two vCPUs and 6 Gbps of firewall inspection, with five times the connection capacity of the XS.
Where the NSv S fits
The first NSv sized for real traffic rather than a single workload. Two vCPUs take firewall inspection to 6 Gbps and connection capacity to 225,000, which is the figure that usually matters — the XS runs out of sessions well before it runs out of throughput. It is also the model SonicWall calls out for high availability on Azure, where the pair needs a D3v2 VM size.
