Firewall As a Service Model for Business Subscription
One sure-fire business model to win more business is to offer products or services at a predictable and affordable monthly cost. This set cost makes it easier for your customers to plan their cash flow and ensures they get the latest technology without having to wait for a capital equipment planning cycle. The Software Service Provider Program now offers SonicWall Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) for its MSP partners to provide a win-win solution for you and your customers.
In the past, you would help your customers get the equipment they needed, but you either had to wait for them to get budget approved so that you could supply the equipment, or you had to be the one to float the costs so they could get the equipment right away and then wait while they got their budgets approved. In either case, you or your customer bore the up-front cost of procurement. Now, with the SonicWall FWaaS solution, SonicWall bears the up-front cost and you work with us under a set monthly cost structure which allows you to pass a consistent cost model on to your customers and allows you to provide them the equipment they need without delay. You provide the service and retain ownership/control of the end-customer; SonicWall is neither informed nor makes contact with your private clients. Our role is to make you successful as a service provider through financial, sales and service support. Here is what we offer exclusively for our MSP Partners:
The new Firewall-as-a-Service offering provides our partners all the technical components they need to provide a managed firewall solution. The following three products are included in the base FWaaS offering, with add-on solution subscriptions available to meet specific needs:
- A SonicWall firewall is a powerful next-generation firewall (NGFW) appliance. Each appliance bundles all the hardware and services needed for comprehensive network protection from the spectrum of existing and emerging network threats.
- The Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite (CGSS) – all-in-one network protection that combines gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, application intelligence and control, content filtering, firmware updates and 24X7 support onto a high-performance deep packet inspection firewall.
- The Global Management System (GMS) provides service providers with a powerful and intuitive solution to centrally manage, generate analytic reports on SonicWall firewall, email security, and secure remote access solutions.
