The SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) E8500 offers Dynamic Security for the Global Network by providing powerful application intelligence and control along with network intrusion detection and prevention. With the patented SonicWALL Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine and sophisticated application intelligence capabilities, the NSA E8500 can analyze and control over 2,700 unique applications, whether they are encrypted with SSL or are unencrypted. This exceptional combination of software sophistication and incredibly powerful hardware leaves little room for application traffic to hide on the network, since SonicWALL's patented RFDI engine is capable of inspecting hundreds of thousands of connections simultaneously across all ports equally, with nearly zero latency and without file size limitations.
