Comprehensive Security Stack
Integrates multiple security layers including deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, antivirus, anti-spam, and advanced threat protection to defend against known and zero-day attacks.
- Application-aware firewall controls
- Real-time malware analysis
- Granular URL and content filtering
High-Density Connectivity
Delivers 18 ports in a 1U footprint, maximizing port density for network segmentation, DMZ configurations, and multi-zone security policies without consuming excessive rack space.
- 18 RJ-45 ports for LAN/WAN connectivity
- 10 SFP+ slots for fiber or copper uplinks
- USB port for local management or storage
Deployment / Use Cases
The NSA 9450 is suitable for organizations requiring high-availability security gateways with extensive port density and 10 Gigabit performance. Its rack-mountable form factor and standard dimensions make it ideal for integration into existing data center cabinets or network operation center racks.
Common deployment scenarios include securing headquarters-to-branch connections, protecting cloud access points, and serving as an internal firewall for compliance-driven network segmentation. The five-year TotalSecure support ensures ongoing threat intelligence updates and technical assistance.
Enterprise Edge Security
Deploy as the primary firewall at network perimeters to inspect inbound and outbound traffic, enforce security policies, and protect internal resources from external threats.
Data Center Segmentation
Use within data centers to create secure zones between server tiers, application environments, or tenant spaces, leveraging high port counts and 10G throughput for east-west traffic inspection.
Physical Profile
The appliance features a rugged steel chassis designed for continuous operation in controlled environments. Its 1U height optimizes rack space efficiency, while the 16.9-inch width and 16.3-inch depth conform to standard rack mounting depths. The unit weighs approximately 17.9 pounds, making it manageable for installation and maintenance. Front-accessible ports and status indicators simplify cabling and visual diagnostics during operation.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.80" (45.72 mm), 16.90" (429.26 mm), 16.30" (414.02 mm), 17.90 lb (8119.30 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
