Sophos XG Series End-of-Life: Transitioning to XGS Models

Sophos has announced that the XG Series hardware appliances will reach their end-of-life (EOL) on March 31, 2025. After this date, these devices will no longer receive updates, support, or services. It's important for users to upgrade to the newer XGS Series to maintain security and performance.

Key Details:

  • Impacted Models: The EOL affects several XG models, such as XG 86, XG 106, XG 115, XG 125, XG 135, XG 210, XG 230, XG 310, XG 330, XG 430, XG 450, XG 550, XG 650, and XG 750.

  • Renewal Deadline: Users can renew their 1-year subscriptions for XG devices until March 31, 2024. After that date, shorter-term renewals will be available, but no subscription can extend past the EOL date.

  • Software Support: Sophos Firewall OS (SFOS) v20 will be the last version supporting XG hardware. SFOS v21, expected later in 2024, will not support these devices.

Upgrade to XGS Series:

The XGS Series hardware offers enhanced security features and better overall performance. Migrating to XGS is simple, as it involves backing up settings from the XG device and restoring them on the new XGS appliance, minimizing disruption.

Promotions for XGS Upgrades:

To help with the transition, Sophos is offering discounted prices on XGS hardware. Customers can take advantage of special promotions when they purchase XGS models with a 3-year subscription for Xstream Protection. These upgrades are available at a great price through shop.nuformat.com, where you’ll find a variety of Sophos products and services, including XGS models at discounted rates.

What to Do Next:

  1. Review Your Current Setup: Verify which XG models and subscriptions are in use.

  2. Plan Your Migration: Reach out to a Sophos partner for the best upgrade options.

  3. Take Advantage of Discounts: Visit shop.nuformat.com to explore promotions on XGS models and save on the upgrade.

  4. Complete the Migration: Use the easy-to-follow migration process to transition to the XGS Series smoothly.

By taking steps now to transition from the XG Series before its EOL, businesses can maintain high levels of security while benefiting from the latest in firewall technology.
