Description
The Sophos XGS 108 is a powerful desktop firewall engineered to meet the demands of modern, data-heavy small businesses. While it maintains a compact, fanless form factor, the 108 introduces 2.5 GbE connectivity, allowing you to eliminate network bottlenecks and take full advantage of high-speed fiber internet and modern switches.
Built with the signature Xstream Architecture, this appliance uses a dual-processor design to ensure that security inspections—even for heavily encrypted TLS 1.3 traffic never slow down your users. It is the ideal choice for businesses that have outgrown entry-level hardware but still require a silent, desktop-friendly solution.
