The new generation TZ (TZ570/670) series, are the first desktop form factor to bring multi-gigabit (5/10G) interfaces, Secure SD-WAN, built-in and expandable storage, TLS 1.3 support and 5G readiness while delivering ground-breaking performance.
- Multi-gigabit support in desktop form factor, fiber interface and high port density
Benefit: Organizations that require increased throughput to support bandwidth-intensive applications and data transfer need multi-gigabit ports. Multi-gig firewalls work seamlessly with SonicWave APs and SonicWall Switches to deliver end-to-end multi-gigabit performance. In addition, having greater number of ports allows organizations to connect more devices directly to the firewall.
Difference: The TZ570/670 series next-generation firewalls are the first desktop form factor to bring multi-gigabit (5/10G) interfaces or fiber (SFP+, SFP) interfaces. TZ500/600 series support only gigabit interfaces. TZ570 series has higher port density of 10 ports while TZ500 series has 8. - Superior hardware upgrades with built-in & expandable storage, redundant power supply
Benefit: Internal storage is mainly used to store logs and diagnostics. Expandable storage enables various features including logging, reporting, caching, firmware backup and more. Secondary power supply is available for redundancy in case of failure, providing business continuity.
Difference: TZ570/670 series come with 16GB of built-in storage and an expandable storage slot on the bottom of the device provides the ability to expand up to 256GB, while TZ500/600 series does not have built-in or expandable storage. TZ670 comes preloaded with 32GB expandable storage. Additionally, TZ570/670 series firewalls support two AC power supplies for redundancy. The optional redundant power supply is available for purchase, while T500/600 series supports just one power supply. - Groundbreaking firewall inspection, DPI performance and IPSec VPN performance
Benefit: With increased network bandwidth requirements from IT trends such as apps, HD video streaming and social media, faster firewall inspection, DPI and IPSec VPN performance provides a secure network without performance degradation. Having a faster firewall performance provides organizations with a greater capacity to utilize higher internet speeds and support more concurrent and remote users.
Difference: TZ670 offers about 2.5 times and TZ570 offers about 3 times performance boost over TZ600 and TZ500 respectively. TZ570/TZ670 series offers over double the DPI performance over TZ500/TZ600 series. Both TZ570 and TZ670 series offer about twice the IPSec VPN throughput over TZ500 and TZ600 series. - Scale higher with increased connection count (per second, SPI, DPI, DPI-SSL)
Benefit: Having a higher number of concurrent connections provides greater scalability by enabling more simultaneous user sessions to be active and tracked by the firewall.
Difference: TZ570/670 series offer approx. twice the connection count per second over TZ500/600 series. TZ570 offers more than 8 times better SPI connection count over TZ500 series, while TZ670 offers 10 times better SPI connection count over TZ600 series. TZ570 offers approx. 3 times better DPI connection count over TZ500 series, while TZ670 offers 4 times better DPI connection count over TZ600 series. Both TZ570 and TZ670 series offer 20% increase in DPI-SSL connection count over TZ500 and TZ600 series. - More single sign-on (SSO) users
Benefit: The single sign-on feature improves employee productivity and reduces IT support costs by enabling users to gain access to connected systems with a single ID and password.
Difference: TZ570 and TZ670 allows 5x more SSO users than TZ500/600 series to benefit from the use of single sign-on. - Increased VPN connectivity
Benefit: For organizations with remote and branch locations such as Retail POS businesses, the ability to create a larger number of site-to-site VPN tunnels to connect distributed networks together and securely share data is essential.
Difference: TZ670 offers 5x more site-to-site VPN tunnels than TZ600 series, while TZ570 offers 8x more site-tosite VPN tunnels than TZ500 series. - High VLAN interfaces
Benefit: VLANs support the logical grouping of network devices, reduce broadcast traffic and allow more control when implementing security policies. It provides logical separation of devices on the same network. High VLAN interfaces signify better segmentation and performance for organizations.
Difference: TZ570/670 series offers over 5x more VLAN interfaces than TZ500/600 series. - 802.11ac Wave 2 technology with increase in max number of access points supported
Benefit: The latest 802.11ac Wave 2 technology enhances WiFi user experience by supporting MU-MIMO technology. Integrated WiFi option enables organizations to extend their wireless network farther without purchasing additional hardware. Alternatively, high number of APs supported by the firewall provide better scalability of the WiFi network.
Difference: Integrated 802.11ac wave 2 support is available on TZ570/670 series, while TZ500 supports 802.11ac wave 1 technology and TZ600 series does not support integrated WiFi technology. TZ570 offers twice while TZ670 offers 1.3x the number of APs supported over TZ500 and TZ600 series respectively - Brand-new SonicOS 7.0 support
Benefit: The feature-rich SonicOS 7.0 operating system features modern UI/UX, topology view, enhanced policy, advanced security, networking and management capabilities, along with TLS 1.3 and default supportfor BGP routing without the need for additional license.
Difference: SonicOS 7.0 support is available on TZ570/670 series and not available on TZ500/TZ600 series.TZ500/600 series require an additional expanded license to be purchased to enable BGP support while the TZ670/570 include BGP support as default with every firewall purchase. - 5G USB Modem Support
Benefit: USB 3.0 port could be used to plug in a 5G dongle for 5G connectivity. It is also backward compatible with 4G/LTE/3G technologies with the use of corresponding dongles.
Difference: 5G technology support is available on TZ570/670 series and not available on TZ500/TZ600 series.
