The Sophos XGS 116 is specifically engineered for small to mid-sized businesses (10-50 users). Unlike the smaller 100-series, it features 8 fixed Copper GbE ports and a dedicated SFP port for fiber connectivity. It also includes one PoE+ port (30W), allowing you to power an external device like a Wi-Fi access point or IP camera directly from the firewall.
The Sophos XGS 116 is a desktop powerhouse designed to provide enterprise-grade protection for growing businesses and branch offices. Built on the revolutionary Xstream Architecture, the XGS 116 features a dual-processor design that separates security scanning from data processing. This ensures that your network remains incredibly fast and responsive, even when performing heavy-duty tasks like deep packet inspection and encrypted traffic decryption (TLS 1.3).
With a significant jump in performance over the 100-series models, the XGS 116 is ideal for environments with higher user counts or bandwidth-intensive applications that cannot afford a drop in security or speed.
Dual-Processor Xstream Architecture: Combines a high-performance multi-core CPU with a dedicated Xstream Flow Processor for hardware acceleration of your most critical traffic.
Superior TLS Inspection: Stay protected against hidden threats in encrypted traffic with industry-leading performance that doesn’t slow down your users.
Connectivity Excellence: Features a versatile mix of fixed copper and fiber ports, including 1GbE SFP, allowing for flexible high-speed uplinks and core network connections.
Advanced Threat Defense: Stop the latest ransomware, viruses, and zero-day attacks with AI-powered sandboxing and deep learning (available with Xstream Protection).
Seamless SD-WAN: Simplify your branch office connectivity and optimize application performance across multiple internet links with built-in, easy-to-manage SD-WAN capabilities.
