XGS Series
SMB and branch office: 2nd Gen XGS desktop models
Unlock supreme desktop performance, improved energy efficiency, and a wealth of new high-speed connectivity options.
Sophos second-generation XGS Series desktop appliances deliver double the performance of our first-generation models while cutting power consumption in half. All these desktop firewalls include 2.5 GE interfaces, allowing traffic to flow freely and without bottlenecks, from your firewall to your 2.5 GE switch to your Wi-Fi 6 access point.
Customers with noise-sensitive environments such as healthcare, education, and retail will love the whisper-quiet operation of the fanless XGS 88 and XGS 108 models. Using the expansion bay, an optional 5G module adds either redundant cellular connectivity or cost-effective 5G fixed wireless access (FWA).
The XGS 88 to XGS 128 models feature a streamlined, single-CPU architecture that utilizes virtual FastPath technology for traffic acceleration (in combination with Sophos Firewall OS v21 and higher). As our gateway model to the distributed edge, the XGS 138 boasts a dedicated Xstream Flow processor for hardware acceleration and two 10 GE SFP+ interfaces for high-speed fiber connectivity. All models except the XGS 138 are optionally available with built-in Wi-Fi.
Performance test methodology
| General | Maximum throughput measured under ideal test conditions using industry-standard Keysight-Ixia BreakingPoint test tools. Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions and activated services |
| Firewall | Measured using HTTP traffic and 512 KB response size |
| Firewall IMIX | UDP throughput based on a combination of 66 byte, 570 byte, and 1518 byte packet sizes |
| IPS | Measured using HTTP traffic, default IPS ruleset, and 512 KB object size |
| IPsec VPN | HTTP throughput measured using multiple tunnels and 512 KB HTTP response size |
| TLS inspection | Measured with IPS enabled on HTTPS sessions and different cipher suites |
| Threat protection | Measured with firewall, IPS, application control, and malware prevention enabled using Enterprise Mix traffic |
