asked on Question about SSL VPN licenses for NSA 2400 UTM
Hello,
Can somebody please shed some light on this ? It seems that licensing options when it comes to Sonicwall appliances can become a little confusing. I'm considering purchasing Sonicwall NSA 2400 UTM appliance. I was under impression that this appiance can support more then 25 concurrent SSL VPN users. However I hear different stories and am a little confused now. We will probably be ok with 25 SSL VPN users for now, but will need more in the future, so 30 - 35 should do it for us. However it seems that NSA 2400 can not have more the 25 concurrent SSL VPN users .. Is that correct ? Should I be looking at a different appliance ?
We have 90 - 100 users and NSA 2400 sounded like a great option for our needs...

More then likely it will be 20 users on average however on days with bad weather I expect this number to increase to or over 25. Is there a way to perhaps reserve 25 licenses to SSL VPN and anybody extra to rollover to PPTP?
Then you'll want to look at one of their ssl-vpn appliances or utilize the GVC which you can add licenses, up to 250. ssl-vpn clients are cleaner, but if investing in the separate appliance isn't in your budget then the GVC would be best. You could have some use the ssl-vpn and when you go over 25, use the GVC client.

I think i will compare the larger NSA series appliance that can suppport more then 25 SSL VPN tunnels vs NSA 2400 and a SSL VPN appliance. I guess if the larger appliance does basically provide the same options and then some, it probably just comes down to cost. I just don't want it to be an overkill for under 100 users, although on an another hand beefy is good...

You are welcome and thanks for the Info :)
You'll probably have to look at one of their SSL VPN appliances. However, do you really think you'll have 25 concurrent users utilizing the SSL VPN capabilities of the NSA?
