Festival shutdown week is my favourite time to swap a firewall, because the floor is quiet and nobody loses a day of billing. It is also the week I discover how many sites are running on one unprotected broadband line, with the modem balanced on a UPS that stopped holding charge two years ago. Voltage swings and dusty back rooms finish off cheap routers; a properly mounted appliance on clean power simply keeps going. We plan those changeovers around your calendar, anywhere in Kolkata.
📍 SonicWALL UTM Firewall Appliance for Branch and Head Office Supply, Setup and Support across Kolkata
Head office finds out a branch is down when the branch manager rings, which is usually well after the customers noticed. Every appliance across Kolkata reports into one cloud console, so you can see which site is offline, which line is flapping and which firmware is behind, from a browser anywhere. A rule change is written once and pushed to all sites instead of typed out eleven times. Reports for the whole network arrive on schedule rather than being assembled by hand (Network Security Manager).
The owner is convinced the office spends half the afternoon on video, the staff insist the internet is simply slow, and neither side has any evidence. Category filtering closes the obvious time sinks during working hours only, while per-person reports show who actually used what. Most of the argument disappears in the first week, usually because the real culprit turns out to be a machine nobody was sitting at. Rules can be softer for management and stricter for the shop floor, with nobody maintaining a spreadsheet.
💡 The Case for Doing It Properly Once across Kolkata
A firewall that arrives as a sealed carton and a PDF is not much help to a business with no IT team. Every unit is configured, updated and run in at our Kolkata bench before it ships, carrying your addressing, your rules and your Wi-Fi settings already. Ports are labelled, the configuration file is saved, and the handover includes a diagram rather than a login and good luck. If a unit fails inside warranty we handle the replacement and put the saved settings straight back on it.
Hotels, restaurants and showrooms in Dankuni that hand out Wi-Fi to customers are expected to know who used it, and a password written on a card tells you nothing. The same appliance can put a login page in front of guest Wi-Fi, keep a record of who connected and when, and expire that access by itself at closing time. Visitors get their internet, your working network stays out of reach, and there is a list if anybody official ever asks for one. It is the sort of thing nobody thinks about until the day they must.
Franchise Outlets That Open Faster Than Anyone Can Travel
A hotel group running three properties around Kolkata had guests, the front-desk booking system and the restaurant billing machine sharing one network and one password. We split guest Wi-Fi away from the working network entirely, gave each property access points managed from the firewall, and put reception on a lane of its own. Guests still connect in one tap from the lobby to the top floor. The group answered its booking partner's security questionnaire with a network diagram instead of an apology.
🛡️ HOW A ROLLOUT ACTUALLY RUNS
The Paperwork You Get at Handover
Most of the money wasted on firewalls is wasted at the sizing stage. We ask how many people are online together, how much of that traffic you intend to inspect, and whether branches are joining in - then quote the model that survives a bad Monday. Equally, if the smaller TZ is genuinely enough, we say so, because selling you an NSa you do not need is a short win and a long problem.
These are the tasks we are usually called in for:
▪Yearly Support Contracts with Agreed Response Times
▪Logins That Follow the Person: Directory Sign-On Setup
▪Keeping Guest WiFi, Cameras and Billing Apart (VLAN Zones)
▪Sending a Pre-Set Box to a New Branch (Zero-Touch)
*Note: every survey, configuration change and site visit listed above is a paid service, quoted before work begins, and separate from any assistance you receive directly from the manufacturer.*
💡 Engineering Fact: A reply from a website is allowed back in because the firewall remembers you asked the question. It holds a live table of every conversation in fast memory, and anything arriving that answers a question nobody asked is quietly discarded.
📋 SIZING & MODEL CHOICE
Send us your headcount, your internet lines and the software everyone depends on, and we will tell you which model fits your office in Dankuni and why the next one up is not needed.
📦 Available Options and Typical Fit for first-time buyers
Compare the branch boxes against the head office models here:
TZ Desktop Firewalls for a Shop or Single Branch
The small box that sits on a shelf behind the counter and guards one or two internet lines. Right for a showroom, a clinic, a site office or any team of roughly five to fifty people.
🔹 WHEN YOU GROW
A rack tray is available later, for the day the box has to move off the shelf and into a cabinet.
🔹 SIZE AND NOISE
Book-sized, fanless on the smaller models, quiet enough to live on a reception shelf without anyone noticing it is there.
🔹 COMMON MISTAKE
Sizing by staff count alone. Count the cameras, IP phones and card machines too - every one of them holds connections open all day.
NSa Rack Firewalls for a Head Office or Campus
One-rack-unit NSa gateways for the main office of a company, a nursing home group or a college - anywhere a few hundred people share the same line from morning to night. Built to bolt into the cabinet you already own.
🔹 SIZE
One rack unit in a standard 19-inch cabinet, with airflow running front to back, so the rear of the unit must never be boxed in.
🔹 WORKING PACE
Virus scanning, intrusion checks and encrypted-site inspection can all run together while the branch tunnels stay usable.
🔹 SEVERAL ISP LINES
More than one connection terminates on the same unit and it decides what travels where (BGP, OSPF and dynamic SD-WAN routing).
Heavy 2U Units for Data Centres and Big Campuses
The two-rack-unit NSa and NSsp appliances, for data centres, multi-building campuses and networks carrying tens of thousands of connections at once. Anything that can fail comes doubled.
🔹 WHO BUYS THIS
Hosting providers, university campuses and large manufacturers running a proper data centre floor of their own.
🔹 MEMORY-LEVEL CHECKS
Unknown files are watched while they actually run in memory, which catches the tricks written to fool an ordinary scanner (RTDMI).
🔹 WEIGHT
A two-person lift, on rails rated for the load. An appliance this heavy resting on cabinet ledges will sag and take its ports with it.
Branch Boxes That Set Themselves Up (Zero-Touch SD-WAN)
For the extra showroom, the godown office, the site cabin. You courier the unit, somebody local plugs in power and internet, and it pulls down its own settings and joins the head office network.
🔹 REPORTING
Head office can see each branch's uptime and how its line is performing, which ends the argument about whose internet is at fault.
🔹 COST NOTE
A branch unit and its subscription usually work out below a leased line to the same location, which is the whole argument for SD-WAN.
🔹 JOINING SITES
Encrypted tunnels build themselves between locations, instead of every branch hair-pinning its traffic through the main office.
SonicWave WiFi Access Points for Full Floor Coverage
SonicWave units screwed to the ceiling so the signal reaches the far end of the floor. For any building where the WiFi works near the router and nowhere else.
🔹 CABLE POWER
One cable does both jobs, signal and electricity, which is why mounting height stops being an electrical problem (PoE).
🔹 WALKING AND TALKING
The handover from one unit to the next is quick enough that a call carries on while somebody walks from the store room back to the billing counter.
🔹 WHERE IT SUITS
Factory floors, hostels, showrooms with roaming billing tablets, and offices that have run out of desk network points.
Managed Switches on the Same Console as the Firewall
Switches that report to the same screen as the firewall, so ports, cameras and phones are handled from one login. For offices past the stage of stacking small unmanaged boxes under a desk.
🔹 POWER BUDGET
Ports and watts are two different limits. A switch can have sockets to spare and still run out of power for the cameras plugged into them.
🔹 CHANGING A DESK
Moving somebody from accounts to sales becomes a setting, not a trip to the rack with a screwdriver and a torch.
🔹 BETWEEN BUILDINGS
Copper stops being useful at about ninety metres. Past that the uplink goes on fibre, and these units take fibre directly.
Cloud Edge: Office Access for Staff Working from Home
Lets a person reach the one office server they need from home, a hotel or a client's site, without their laptop landing inside everything you own. Bought per person, not per building.
🔹 WHAT IT COSTS
Priced by the person by the month, so a team of six is paid for as six and not as the entire company.
🔹 SIGNING IN
People use the office credentials they already know, and a second check on their phone means a stolen password on its own is not enough.
🔹 WHAT IT'S FOR
The accounts person finishing a return from home, and the sales engineer who needs the price list while sitting in a client's office.
Network Security Manager: Every Branch on One Screen
A cloud console that shows all your firewalls together - rules, alerts, firmware and reports. Worth it once you have more than two or three locations to keep an eye on.
🔹 REPORTS
Monthly summaries of what was blocked and where the day's bandwidth went, in a shape a director will actually read.
🔹 SETTINGS BACKUP
Configurations are held in the cloud, so a replacement unit at a distant branch is rebuilt from the last known-good copy.
🔹 WHO IT SUITS
Retail chains, franchise groups, NBFCs with branch offices, and hospital groups running four or five units across Kolkata.
Security Bundles and Licence Renewals
Firewalls are sold with a subscription behind them: threat updates, filtering, sandbox checks and vendor support. This is how those are bought, bundled and renewed without leaving a gap.
🔹 WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR
Not the metal box. You are paying for current threat information, category lists, and somebody to call when it misbehaves.
🔹 AUDITS
Show an assessor a lapsed subscription and it goes straight into the report as a finding, whatever the firewall itself is doing.
🔹 BUYING PIECE BY PIECE
Individual modules can be added one at a time, which suits a site that only wants filtering, but the dates then drift apart and one always gets missed.

📝 Engineer Notes From Real Installations across Kolkata
Spend the extra hour joining the firewall to your Windows login system at installation, even if nobody asked for it. Once rules and reports carry a person's name instead of an address, every argument about who did what stops being a debate. I put the agent on a member server rather than the area controller, using an account that can only read, which keeps your IT team and your auditor equally comfortable.
“We already have antivirus on every computer” covers the computers. The weighing machine, the barcode printer, the camera recorder and the visitor's phone cannot run antivirus, and they all sit on the same network.
Cloud-only filtering works on a laptop that has the agent installed and an internet connection. It does nothing between two machines standing in the same shop, and nothing at all for equipment that can never carry an agent.
💡 Engineering Fact: Your whole office looks like one address from the outside, with dozens of machines sharing it. That is also why a camera recorder plugged straight into the internet, with no firewall in front, gets found by automated scanners within hours.

🛠️ Workflow Setup
Then everything is tried in front of you: browsing, email, Tally, the card machine, the camera app on your phone, a call over the internet. That takes roughly an hour, and your staff do the testing rather than us.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Do not point rules at anything and everything just to get the office working before lunch. Temporary rules of that kind outlive the engineer who wrote them.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Register the serial number in your own company's name rather than the integrator's. If you change vendors later, a unit sitting in somebody else's account is a genuine headache to move.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
Your insurer's renewal form asks whether internet traffic is filtered and logged, and nobody in the office knows what to write.

CLEAR ADVANTAGES - THE HIGHLIGHTS
COSTS BEYOND THE QUOTE - THE HONEST VERSION
✓An older box simply passed https pages along unread, and that is precisely where the trouble hides today; those sessions are opened and checked, with banking and health sites left alone by policy (TLS deep inspection).
—Branch VPN speed is capped by whatever upload your local line delivers. No appliance can create bandwidth the ISP is not providing.
✓A separate wireless controller is one more box to buy, power and patch. The access points here register with the firewall and take their settings from it.
—Sandboxing, filtering and threat feeds sit inside a subscription bundle. Let it lapse and the box carries on routing, but the checks you bought it for quietly stop.
✓An ageing core switch and a new 10G uplink can end on the same appliance, so the network does not have to be replaced in one go (RJ45, 2.5GbE and SFP+ on larger models).
—Turning on full inspection cuts the headline throughput figure. Size the model against the traffic you actually intend to scan, or the first busy morning will show it up.
✓The audit question - who reached what, and when - is answered from the reports instead of from memory.
—Firmware upgrades drop live sessions for a moment. On a single appliance that means an after-hours window agreed with whoever works late.
✓A salesman on hotel WiFi can reach the office system with nothing installed on his laptop and no port left open to the whole internet (SSL VPN with a second login check).
—In-depth logs fill internal storage if rotation is left at default and nothing is being shipped off the device.
💡 Engineering Fact: The clever part of that test is not the testing, it is the holding. The mail waits in the queue until a verdict comes back, so nobody has to be trusted to remember not to click.

📊 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide for offices in Dankuni
Throughput is published several ways and only one of them matters to you. Ask for the figure measured with intrusion prevention and encrypted inspection both running, because that is the state the appliance will actually work in day to day. The larger number on the front of a brochure is measured with almost everything switched off.
Port layout decides what has to change in your rack. Copper gigabit ports handle desks and switch links, some models bring power-over-Ethernet ports for access points and cameras, and fibre cages are there when the core switch or the leased line handoff needs them. A USB socket takes a mobile modem for backup internet.
🏆 CORE PARAMETER🔹 Where you manage itSonicOS web screen, command line, or Network Security Manager in the cloud
🔹 Temperature it toleratesRated for 0°C to 40°C ambient (32°F to 104°F)
🔹 How it scansThe whole stream is reassembled and read, with no cap on file size (RFDPI)

🔹 Network socketsCopper 1GbE on every model, 2.5GbE multi-gig on the TZ 570 and 670, and 10GbE SFP+ fibre on the larger rack units - the mix depends on the model ordered
🔹 Brand-new threatsLive memory inspection plus the Capture ATP cloud sandbox (RTDMI)
How These Units Are Built and Tested
Nobody in your office receives an attachment the world has not seen before on trust alone; it is opened in a sealed test room in the cloud first and released only when the verdict comes back. Files are also watched while they run in live memory, which is how malware written to look harmless to an ordinary scanner gets caught (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection).
Most infections now ride inside encrypted pages, so those pages get opened and read - and you decide which categories, banking and health among them, are left untouched. On the larger models that checking runs in hardware, so you can keep it switched on through the busiest hours instead of turning it off to buy speed.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK
Coordinate custom hardware configurations, AMC maintenance contracts, and site engineering visits directly with authorized integration desks.
🛠️ Choosing a Spot for the Gateway on a Small Site
A gateway sitting in clean air on a firm mount with steady power will usually outlast the subscription you bought alongside it.
⚙️ Access and Passwords - The Plan for small and mid-sized teams
🔹Certificate warnings on every second website are the usual first-week complaint. Push the inspection certificate to company machines through your office login system (Group Policy) before go-live, and leave banking and health sites off the inspection list altogether.
🔹Register the appliance and switch the security subscriptions on before cutover night at your office in Dankuni - a unit downloading its first threat update while thirty people wait is an avoidable delay.
🔹Add up the wattage of the access points before hanging them off a switch. A power budget that looks generous on paper runs out quickly once ceiling units and a couple of cameras are drawing from it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Our CCTV recorder has to be viewable from outside. Can that be done safely?
Yes, though not the way it is usually done. The common shortcut is opening a port straight through to the recorder, and those recorders are among the most attacked devices on the internet - default passwords, firmware nobody has touched in years. The safer arrangement is a VPN login for the handful of people who need to view, or the camera maker's own cloud relay, with the recorder kept in an isolated lane of its own. Where a direct port is genuinely unavoidable we restrict it to named source addresses and put intrusion prevention in front of it, and we will still ask you to change that recorder's password first.
Q. Our new branch opens next month and there is no IT person there. How does the firewall get set up?
We register the unit to your account at our bench, then courier it to the branch, where somebody plugs in power and the internet cable and it downloads its own settings and comes online - nothing technical is typed at the far end (zero-touch deployment). That removes an engineer's travel and hotel from the bill for every new site you open. One condition: the broadband at the branch must genuinely be live on the day the box arrives, and telecom activation is the thing that slips most often. For a complicated branch with its own server or two internet lines, we still prefer to send an engineer.
Q. We have eleven shops - do I need one of these in every shop?
Yes, one at each shop, but they need not all be the same size or the same price. A small outlet with four billing counters runs happily on an entry-level SonicWALL TZ unit, while the head office, where everything comes together, takes the larger NSa. What the shops share is the rulebook and the licence, so a website blocked at head office is blocked at shop eleven without anyone driving there. Cost-wise the shop units are the cheap part; the head-office box and the yearly subscriptions are where the money actually sits.
Q. How long will this box last before we have to buy another?
Expect several years of working life, governed by two published dates rather than by wear: end-of-sale and end-of-support for that particular model. Hardware seldom dies of old age in a ventilated rack; what forces the change is a model dropping off the support list, or your internet becoming fast enough that the appliance turns into the bottleneck. We check both dates before quoting, so nobody gets sold something already halfway through its life. When replacement day does arrive, settings export and import, so it is an evening's work and not a rebuild from scratch.
Q. Why buy through Microtech Solutions rather than the cheapest listing online?
Because you are not just buying a box - you are buying a licence registered to somebody's name, and cheap online stock is often registered elsewhere, imported without local warranty, or sold with a bundle far shorter than the listing implies. We register both the hardware and the subscription to your company, keep the paperwork where you can find it at audit time, and are the people who turn up when the link drops. You also get the sizing conversation before the money is spent instead of a return request afterwards. Compare the total of hardware, bundle, installation and support across Kolkata, not the sticker price on its own.
💡 Engineering Fact: Guest WiFi cannot reach your accounting server, and the reason is not the password. The two sit in separate zones with no rule joining them, so nothing crosses unless someone deliberately writes that rule.
