Official Hardware Appliances for Security Onion
We know Security Onion's hardware needs, and our appliances are the perfect match for the platform. Leave the hardware research, testing, and support to us, so you can focus on what's important for your organization.
Integration with Security Onion
Security Onion's SOC interface provides appliance-specific information directly in the user-interface. Use this information to monitor the appliance's health in realtime. Also view the appliance front and rear panels, useful for walking through connectivity discussions with personnel in the data center. Only official Security Onion Solutions appliances are supported with this integration.
Support Security Onion
Not only will you have confidence that your Security Onion deployment is running on the best-suited hardware, you will also be supporting future development and maintenance of the Security Onion project!

* Disk storage sizes are approximate, and represent the largest configuration available for the appliance. When referring to drive capacity, one terabyte, or TB, equals one thousand billion bytes and one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes. The operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. Some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and will not be available for data storage.
† Actual performance depends on network traffic. Stated specifications represent the fastest configuration available for the appliance, however, other configurations are also available for specific use cases. Forward node estimates assume a separate Manager Node is used.
‡ The SOS 10000 and GoBig Forward Node Throughput rating is achieved without full packet capture.
