Mid-sized network security appliance

The Sophos XGS 4500 is a 1U rackmount firewall designed for mid-sized and distributed organisations. It combines an AMD x86 CPU with 32 GB DDR4 ECC memory and a Marvell NPU with 8 GB DDR4 ECC for dual-processor architecture. Eight copper ports at 10/100/1000Base-T and 2.5GBase-T sit alongside four SFP+ 10GBase-X fiber ports. Two 240 GB SATA SSDs in software RAID-1 provide resilient local storage.

Sustained throughput with inspection enabled

Firewall throughput reaches 80 Gbps while TLS 1.3 inspection runs at 10.6 Gbps. Real-world IMIX traffic is processed at 37 Gbps and IPS throughput holds at 36.5 Gbps. The dedicated Xstream Flow Processor offloads trusted application traffic through FastPath acceleration to maintain these rates under continuous load without degrading CPU resources for other security functions.

Rackmount build with modular expansion

The 438 x 510 x 44 mm chassis weighs 9.7 kg and includes a rackmount kit. Six expansion slots allow optional Flexi Port modules for additional connectivity or PoE redundancy. A second power supply can be added for high-availability deployments. Front-facing USB 3.0 ports, a management RJ45, and dual console interfaces (RJ45 and Micro-USB) simplify daily administration and troubleshooting.

Questions about this item

How much power does the XGS 4500 draw and how loud are the fans during continuous operation?

The supplier data does not publish power consumption or acoustic figures for the XGS 4500. The unit uses a dual-processor architecture with an AMD x86 CPU and Marvell NPU, and the 1U long chassis includes a second power supply option for redundancy.

What cabling and transceivers must I already have to use the four SFP+ 10 GE fiber ports on this appliance?

The four SFP+ ports accept 10GBase-X modules; you need compatible SFP+ transceivers and matching fiber patch cables for the link distance and connector type you are deploying.

Can the XGS 4500 connect directly to my existing 1 Gbps copper switches and 10 Gbps fiber uplinks without extra modules?

Yes. The appliance provides four 10/100/1000Base-T ports, four 2.5GBase-T ports and four SFP+ 10 GE fiber ports built in, so both copper and 10 Gbps fiber links are supported natively.
