Sonicwall Project SuperMassive – Next-Generation Firewall Technology

May 6th, 2010

SonicWALL has released “Project Super Massive” – marketing lingo for their next-gen firewall along the lines of what Palo Alto Networks has been doing for a while and which Gartner recently endorsed. They mention Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI), which I think means this is completely new architecture and drastic change for SonicWALL. They use a Caveum Octeon chip. This “next-gen” firewall trend will be very good for Caveum.

Here is a good diagram illustrating the “next-generation” firewall strategy:

UPDATE: I found out that this product “isn’t out yet”. Only the E8500 and the Supermassive product line will have the “next-gen” features.
