Specifications
SMA 7210 at a Glance
Performance
5.0 Gbps SSL VPN throughput with AES-NI hardware acceleration and SSL offload. 16GB DDR4 handles 10,000
concurrent sessions without degradation. Dual 1TB SATA drives in RAID 1 protect logs and configuration.
MTBF rated at 129,601 hours.
Hardware
Six 1GbE copper ports plus two 10Gb SFP+ uplinks for high-bandwidth data center connections. Dual
hot-swappable power supplies at 114W let you replace a failed PSU without taking the appliance offline.
1U form factor identical to the SMA 6210.
Access Security
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified with optional FIPS add-on for anti-tamper protection. Advanced Endpoint
Control (EPC) checks every device before granting access. Zero-Trust policy engine limits each user and
device to exactly the resources they are authorized to reach.
Scale and Management
Pairs with Central Management Server (CMS) to manage up to 100 SMA 1000 appliances in a global mesh.
CMS pools licenses dynamically, redirecting capacity from idle regions to peak-demand sites.
Active/Active HA enables zero-downtime firmware upgrades at any session count.
Not Sure If The SMA 7210 Is The Right Fit?
The 7210 is the highest-capacity physical appliance in the SMA Series. If you are under 2,000
concurrent users, the 6210 may be a better fit on cost. Our comparison page lays out the models side by side.
The SonicWall SMA 7210 is the top-tier physical appliance in the SMA 1000 Series. It
is a 1U rack-mount secure access gateway that supports up to 10,000 concurrent user sessions at 5 Gbps
SSL VPN throughput. It targets large enterprises and MSSPs that need carrier-grade remote access
capacity in a single appliance.
The SMA 7210 supports five times more concurrent users than the SMA 6210 (10,000
versus 2,000) and delivers nearly four times the throughput (5.0 Gbps versus 1.3 Gbps). It also adds
two 10Gb SFP+ uplinks and dual hot-swappable power supplies not present on the 6210. For organizations
with a projected peak under 2,000 sessions the 6210 is typically better value. At 2,000 users and
above, a single 7210 is usually less expensive than two 6210 appliances in an HA pair.
Yes. The SMA 7210 supports Active/Passive and Active/Active high availability. In
Active/Active mode sessions are distributed across both units and firmware can be upgraded on one node
at a time without dropping connections. With Central Management Server, you can also build multi-site
active-active clusters that share session state globally.
Yes. The SonicWall Central Management Server (CMS) manages physical SMA 6210 and 7210
appliances alongside SMA 8200v virtual instances in a single mesh of up to 100 nodes. CMS pools user
licenses dynamically across the entire cluster, so capacity follows real demand rather than being
locked to a single site.
Like all SMA 1000 appliances, the SMA 7210 ships without user licenses. You purchase
stackable SMA User Licenses separately in 5-user, 100-user, or 5,000-user packs. The 5,000-user pack
is available for the SMA 7210 and 8200v only. Capture ATP for SMA is an optional subscription add-on
for cloud-based file scanning.
