Virtual editions are sized by cores and RAM. We help you map that to the throughput you need.

Shared across every model: the same Sophos Firewall OS, Sophos Central cloud management, the Xstream architecture, and the same Standard or Xstream Protection options. Each runs on common hypervisors and in AWS or Azure.
How to choose

We size it to your network.

Rated throughput is a starting point, not the whole story. Real-world numbers depend on which protections you turn on. Give us the details and we size the right model so you are not over or under buying.

Straight answers

Virtual firewall questions.

How do I size cores and RAM?

It scales with the throughput and users you need to support. Tell us your environment and we recommend the right core and RAM tier.

Why are throughput specs not listed here?

Virtual throughput depends on the host hardware you run it on, so it is sized by cores and RAM rather than a fixed rating. We help you map that to your target throughput.

Where can I run it?

On VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM, and in AWS and Microsoft Azure.
