Description
Sophos XGS 6500 Standard Protection - monthly subscription
Monthly Standard Protection licensing for a Sophos XGS 6500 firewall you already own, billed and managed by Nuformat as your MSP through Sophos MSP Flex. No multi-year commitment.
Size on the TLS inspection figure, not firewall throughput. Almost all web traffic is encrypted, so 16,000 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 licence together for 1, 3 or 5 years. Only this route fixes your price for the period.
- Own the hardware, licence monthly. Buy the appliance, pay the licence 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 6500 specifications?
The XGS 6500 delivers 120,000 Mbps firewall throughput, 50,750 Mbps IPS, 53,500 Mbps threat protection and 16,000 Mbps of Xstream TLS inspection, supporting 39,900,000 concurrent connections.
How many users does the XGS 6500 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Sophos does not publish user counts per model, so we do not quote them.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.
Can I switch from monthly to a term later?
Yes. Monthly rates are set by Sophos and can change, so a term subscription is the only option that fixes your price. Tell us when you want to switch and we will price both.
