Sophos XGS 2100 Next-Gen Rackmount Firewall

Description

The Sophos XGS 2100 is engineered to provide elite-level protection and networking versatility for organizations with 50 to 250 users. As part of the sophisticated XGS 1U series, it features a dual-processor architecture that separates the control plane (multi-core CPU) from the data plane (Xstream Flow Processor). This ensures that your security scanning never bottlenecks your network throughput, even when inspecting encrypted traffic at high speeds.

With 30 Gbps of firewall throughput and support for high-speed fiber connectivity, the XGS 2100 is built for data-heavy environments. It offers one Flexi Port expansion slot, allowing you to customize your hardware with additional copper, fiber, or PoE modules as your business connectivity needs evolve.

Xstream Architecture and Application Acceleration

• Dedicated Xstream Flow Processor: This specialized hardware accelerates “trusted” traffic—such as VoIP, SaaS, and SD-WAN data—by putting it on a “FastPath.” This reduces latency and frees up the main CPU for deep packet inspection (DPI) of potential threats.

• High-Density Connectivity: The base unit includes 8 x GbE copper ports and 2 x SFP fiber ports. For environments requiring more speed, the expansion bay can support 10GbE SFP+ modules.

Enterprise Reliability and Modular Design

• 1U Rackmount Form Factor: Designed for standard 19-inch server racks, the XGS 2100 comes with included rackmount ears and a multi-function LCD display for at-a-glance status monitoring.

• Redundancy Options: Support for an optional external second power supply ensures your business stays protected even in the event of a power component failure.

• Synchronized Security: Integrate with Sophos Central to allow your firewall and endpoints to talk to each other.
