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. These are rackmount appliances built for high traffic.

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.
