Product Information
SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is a unified secure access gateway that enables organization to provide anytime, anywhere and any device access to any application. SMA's granular access control policy engine, context-aware device authorization, application-level VPN and advanced authentication with single sign-on enable organizations to move to the cloud with ease, and embrace BYOD and mobility in a hybrid IT environment.
- Mobility and BYOD
For organizations wishing to embrace BYOD, flexible working or third party access, SMA becomes the critical enforcement point across them all. SMA delivers best-in-class security to minimize surface threats, while making organizations more secure by supporting latest encryption algorithms and ciphers. SonicWALL's SMA allows administrators to provision secure mobile access and role-based privileges so end-users get fast, simple access to the business applications, data and resources they require. At the same time, organizations can institute secure BYOD policies to protect their corporate networks and data from rogue access and malware. - Move to the cloud
For organizations embarking on a cloud migration journey, SMA offers a single sign-on (SSO) infrastructure that uses a single web portal to authenticate users in a hybrid IT environment. Whether the corporate resource is on-premise, on the web or in a hosted cloud, the access experience is consistent and seamless. SMA also integrates with industry leading multi-factor authentication technologies for added security. - Managed service providers
For either organizations hosting their own infrastructure or for managed service providers, SMA provides turnkey solution to deliver a high degree of business continuity and scalability. SMA can support up to 20,000 concurrent connections on a single appliance, with the ability to scale upwards of hundreds of thousands users through intelligent clustering. Data centers can reduce costs with active-active clustering and a built-in dynamic load balancer, which reallocates global traffic to the most optimized data center in real-time based on user demand. SMA tool sets enable service providers to deliver services with zero downtime, allowing them to fulfill very aggressive SLAs. - Seamless and secure browser-based clientless access
The "clientless" nature of the SonicWall SMA means that there is no need for the administrator to install a fat client component manually to a computer that will be used for remote access. This removes any dependency on Java and overhead for IT, thereby greatly expanding the concept of remote access. It means that since there is no pre-installation or pre-configuration required, an authorized remote worker can sit down at any computer, anywhere in the world, and securely access their corporate resources. In its purest form, secure access is strictly browser based using HTML5, providing a seamless and unified experience for the users. - Deploy the VPN client that suits your needs
Choose from a broad range of VPN clients to deliver policy enforced secure remote access for various endpoints including laptops, smartphones and tablets. - Intuitive management and comprehensive reporting
SonicWall provides an intuitive web-based management platform to streamline appliance management while providing extensive reporting capabilities. The easy-to-use GUI brings clarity to managing individual or multiple appliances and policies. Each page shows how settings are configured across all machines under management. Unified policy management helps you create and monitor access policies and configurations. A single policy can control access from your users, devices and applications, to data, servers and networks. IT can automate routine tasks and schedule activities, freeing up security teams from repetitive tasks to focus on strategic security tasks like incidence response. IT gains insights into user access trends and system-wide health through easy-to-use reporting and centralized logging. - Provide 24x7 service availability
Organizations have requirements to maintain their services and keep them up and running with a high degree of reliability to provide secure access to mission critical applications at all times. SMA appliances support traditional active-passive High Availability (HA) for organizations with single data centers, or global HA with active-active clustering for local or distributed data centers. Both HA models deliver frictionless experience to users with zero-impact failover and session persistence. - Reduce upfront costs with built-in load balancer
The load balancing functionality built into the SMA appliance achieves the level scalability expected for medium-sized business and enterprise deployments. Select models of SMA appliance offer dynamic load balancing to intelligently assign session loads and allocate user licenses in real-time based on demand. Organizations do not need to invest in external load balancers, thus reducing upfront costs. - Get insurance against unforeseen events
A complete business continuity and DR solution must be able to handle a significant spike in remote access traffic, while still maintaining security and cost controls. SonicWall Spike license packs for the SMA are add-on licenses that enable distributed businesses to scale user count and reach maximum capacity instantly, enabling seamless business continuity. Spike licenses work like an insurance policy toward any future planned or unplanned spikes from current user counts to tens or even hundreds of additional users.
