Sophos home system requirements7/24/2023 If you already have a virtual environment in operation, you no longer need to invest in hardware. Sophos is also available as a virtual variant. In most cases, however, the firewall is not central enough for reception to be good. The SG105 to SG135 are still available as (w)-model with integrated WLAN module. Every year there are new features that require more resources. Sophos wireless access points, which bring even more users onto the network.īased on this information, the following scale helps relatively well to make a hardware selection.Sophos RED, which connects additional sites via VPN.How many users or devices are behind the firewall?.To decide on a model, you need to ask yourself two questions: This leaves 14 different Sophos SG models. However, the UTMs will remain in our store for the time being so that customers can obtain licenses or replace a defective UTM in the cluster. The SGs are priced the same, but offer more performance. Buying a new UTM no longer makes sense in my opinion. Of these, 7 are UTMs and 14 are from the SG series. There are currently (as of January 2015) 19 different boxes from Sophos. The devices differ in performance and are suitable for small companies with one employee, up to large companies with 5000 employees. The Sophos hardware variant is available as a small box or as a 19″ rack solution. Whether the box says Astaro, Sophos, UTM or SG, the system is always the same. The devices used to be called “Astaro Security Gateway” (ASG), then “Sophos UTM” after the acquisition of Sophos, and currently “Sophos Security Gateway” (SG).Įven with the modules like “Web Security” or “Web Protection” only the name is the difference. Sophos, or Astaro as it used to be, is having a hard time with product names, and it also seems like they themselves aren’t sure where this is going yet. After that, you should know which variant of deployment is right for you. In this post, I would like to briefly discuss three different options. On the one hand, there are the UTM and SG boxes, virtual appliances, cloud images and the software variant for your own hardware. Whether the free Home version to secure the home network, or the Business version for the company. The UTM hardware is no longer available and we would advise the new XG Firewall in any case.Įveryone should have a firewall in place. ![]() ![]() Update: The information in this blogpost is not quite up to date.
