The Sophos XGS 4500 is an elite 1U enterprise firewall delivering 80 Gbps throughput. Featuring 4 x 10GbE SFP+ ports, RAID-1 SSD storage, and dual expansion slots, it provides high-capacity threat protection and hardware redundancy for datacenters and large distributed networks.
The Sophos XGS 4500 is engineered for high-demand environments where performance and visibility are mission-critical. Leveraging Sophos’s advanced Xstream Architecture, the XGS 4500 utilizes a dual-processor design that pairs a high-performance multi-core CPU with a dedicated Xstream Flow Processor. This architecture hardware-accelerates trusted traffic like cloud applications and SD-WAN, allowing the appliance to focus its processing power on deep packet inspection (DPI) and sophisticated threat defense.
High-Density Multi-Gigabit Ports: The XGS 4500 comes exceptionally well-equipped with 4 x 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports, 4 x 2.5 GbE copper ports, and 4 x GbE copper ports. This allows for high-speed connectivity across fiber backbones and multi-gigabit access points.
Dual Flexi Port Expansion: With two expansion slots, the XGS 4500 is highly scalable. You can add 40GbE QSFP+ modules for datacenter uplinks or high-density PoE modules to power a large fleet of security cameras or Wi-Fi 6/6E access points.
Mission-Critical Reliability: Designed for 24/7 operation, the XGS 4500 includes an internal hot-swappable power supply and offers an option for a second redundant power supply, ensuring continuous protection even during hardware maintenance or power failures.
Massive Threat Protection: Capable of 8.6 Gbps of Threat Protection throughput, it uses AI-driven analysis and sandboxing to stop zero-day attacks and ransomware in their tracks.
RAID-1 SSD Storage: Unlike smaller models, the XGS 4500 features dual 240 GB SSDs in a RAID-1 configuration, providing high-performance local storage for logs and forensics with hardware-level data redundancy.
Synchronized Security: When integrated with Sophos Central, the XGS 4500 shares real-time telemetry with your endpoints. This “Heartbeat” technology allows the firewall to automatically identify and isolate compromised devices to stop lateral movement across the network.
