Sonicwall unveils project Supermassive

BANGALORE,INDIA:SonicWALL today unveiled Project SuperMassive, a next-generation security platform and technology capable of detecting and controlling applications, preventing intrusions, and blocking malware at up to 40 Gbps without introducing latency to the network, states a press release.

According to the release, Project SuperMassive comprises key elements, including: SonicWALL’s Massively Scalable Next-Generation Network Security Platform architecture, SonicWALL’s Next-Generation Firewall technology, and SonicWALL’s patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RF-DPI) engine.

At more than 10 times the speed of today’s fastest technologies, Project SuperMassive revolutionizes application visualization and control, and is capable of protecting the world’s highest performance networks from malware of all kinds. Today, companies are being forced to choose between performance and security, since existing security architectures have not been able to keep up with the volume of network traffic, especially with the explosion of rich media and the rise in malware-ridden social media applications.

Designed for enterprise organizations with high performance networks that are currently struggling to deploy the latest technologies such as converged communications, data center consolidation, and Web 2.0, Project SuperMassive is designed to allow organizations to embrace these technologies in order to enhance workforce productivity, business collaboration and effectiveness without compromising performance or security. Traditionally, security has been viewed as a barrier to business innovation with available security technologies lagging behind and threatening the success of next-generation IT projects. For the first time, the availability of 40 Gbps technology, coupled with application control and threat protection, turns security into an enabler of business innovation and makes the deployment of new technologies, as well as custom-built IT applications, possible.
