Throughput figures are Sophos rated maximums, shown for comparison. We confirm real-world sizing with you before you buy.

Shared across every model: the same Sophos Firewall OS, Sophos Central cloud management, the Xstream architecture, and the same Standard or Xstream Protection options. They are all 1U (one rack unit) rackmount appliances, and capacity and connectivity scale up the range.
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.

  • Users and devices behind the firewall
  • Internet bandwidth, now and where it is heading
  • Number of sites to connect and protect
  • Standard or Xstream Protection
Straight answers

Distributed edge XGS questions.

What is the form factor of these appliances?

Every model in the distributed edge series is a 1U (one rack unit) rackmount appliance, so it fits a standard server rack. Tell us your rack space and connectivity needs and we will confirm the right model.

How do I read these throughput numbers?

They are Sophos rated maximums for comparing models. Real-world throughput depends on the protections you turn on, so we confirm sizing with you before you buy.

Appliance only or with a subscription?

Both. Buy the appliance on its own or bundled with a Standard or Xstream Protection subscription. We quote whichever fits.

Are these right for multiple sites?

Yes. The distributed edge models are built for connecting and protecting several locations with the throughput to match.
