Specifications
NSv XS at a Glance
Performance
1.2 Gbps firewall throughput with 400 Mbps of full threat prevention. Tuned for small-footprint
deployments where sustained throughput is measured in hundreds of Mbps rather than Gbps.
Platform Support
Deployable on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Minimal vCPU and RAM
requirements make it easy to deploy on shared infrastructure without dedicating significant compute
resources.
Security Services
Full AGSS support including Gateway Anti-Virus, IPS, Application Control, Content Filtering, and
Capture ATP sandboxing, scaled for smaller traffic volumes.
Use Cases
Ideal for remote office or branch office (ROBO) virtual deployments, developer and QA sandbox
environments, cloud workload microsegmentation, and small organizations that need SonicWall feature
parity at branch scale.
Is the NSv XS the right fit, or do you need more throughput?
Compare the NSv XS, NSv 470, and NSv 870 to find the virtual firewall that matches your workload and
budget.
The NSv XS is used for small virtual deployments where a full-featured NGFW is needed
but throughput requirements are modest. Common use cases include ROBO virtual firewall deployments,
developer and test environments, cloud workload segmentation, and small branches transitioning to
virtual infrastructure.
The NSv XS runs on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM for on-premises
deployments. It is also available in AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace.
Yes. The NSv XS supports the same security service subscriptions as all other NSv
models, including the full AGSS with Capture ATP, RTDMI, and TLS inspection. The difference is
throughput and connection capacity, not feature depth.
The NSv XS is licensed as an annual or multi-year virtual appliance subscription with
EPSS or APSS service bundles added on top. Firewalls.com offers multi-year bundles to lock in pricing
and simplify renewal management.
Yes. All NSv models run SonicOS 7.0, so migrating to a larger NSv model is
straightforward. Export your configuration from the NSv XS, deploy the larger model, and import the
configuration to resume operations with minimal disruption.
