The SonicWall along with the Watchguard were the only rack-mountable appliances.
The SonicWall unit is suited for small- to mid-sized networks with up to 200 nodes. On the front were four 10/100Base-T Ports (1 LAN, 1 WAN, 1 DMZ, 1 Inactive with SonicOS Standard/ 1 WAN, 1 LAN, 2 Configurable with SonicOS Enhanced). Also found on the front are power, test, and alarm indicators as well a console port. At the rear of the appliance was where you would power the unit.
The Web-based interface looked very similar to that of the Fortinet. Most likely Fortinet would have taken a page out of Sonicwall's book. The configuration of this unit was also very easy. The SonicWall can do a whole list of other things including deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, content filtering, load balancing and reporting. The SonicWall also managed to record the fastest throughput out of all the units tested.
