Description
Sophos XGS 5500 Xstream Protection - 12 Months - Renewal
This renews the Xstream Protection subscription on a Sophos XGS 5500 firewall you already own. It does not include hardware. Your existing appliance, configuration and policies stay exactly as they are.
Size on the TLS inspection figure, not firewall throughput. Almost all web traffic is encrypted, so 13,500 Mbps is the number that limits what this appliance can actually inspect. The firewall throughput figure assumes unencrypted traffic you will rarely see.
Standard or Xstream Protection?
| Included | Standard | Xstream |
|---|---|---|
| Firewall, SD-WAN, ZTNA | Yes | Yes |
| TLS 1.3 inspection | No | Yes |
| Cloud sandboxing | No | Yes |
| Advanced IPS | No | Yes |
If your users browse the web, Xstream is the bundle that inspects encrypted traffic. Standard makes sense only where you have a specific reason not to inspect TLS.
Three ways to buy
- Term subscription. Buy the appliance and license together for 1, 3 or 5 years. Only this route fixes your price for the period.
- Own the hardware, license monthly. Buy the appliance, pay the license month to month through Nuformat as your MSP.
- Hardware as a Service. Appliance and subscription on one monthly bill with nothing upfront. The MSP owns the hardware and the payments are perpetual.
Ask us and we will price all three together so you can compare properly.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Sophos XGS 5500 specifications?
The XGS 5500 delivers 100,000 Mbps firewall throughput, 40,000 Mbps IPS, 46,000 Mbps threat protection and 13,500 Mbps of Xstream TLS inspection, supporting 32,400,000 concurrent connections.
How many users does the XGS 5500 support?
Sophos does not publish user counts per model, so we do not quote them. Sizing depends on your internet speed, how many services you enable and how much traffic you inspect. Send us those three and we will size it against the Sophos sizing tool.
Does renewing keep my configuration?
Yes. A renewal extends the subscription on your existing appliance. Nothing about your configuration, rules or policies changes.
What happens if the subscription lapses?
The firewall keeps passing traffic, but the subscription services stop updating. Threat intelligence, IPS signatures and sandboxing go stale, which is the point at which the appliance stops protecting you properly.
