Sophos XGS 108 Desktop Firewall Appliance

The Sophos XGS 108 is a new desktop firewall appliance designed for small offices or branch locations needing encrypted traffic inspection and threat protection. It ships with a three-year Xstream Protection licence bundle that includes network, web and zero-day protection plus central orchestration. The unit uses an Intel x86 CPU with 6 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 64 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. A fanless chassis keeps acoustic noise low in quiet environments.

Suits Encrypted Traffic Inspection Needs Not

This appliance suits administrators who need TLS 1.3 inspection at 800 Mbps and threat protection at 2 500 Mbps without fan noise. It also fits teams wanting SD-WAN orchestration and integration with other Sophos security products. Buyers who require IPsec VPN throughput above 8 250 Mbps or NGFW performance beyond 2 600 Mbps should evaluate larger models. The lack of expansion slots and a single SFP uplink also limits connectivity growth.

12.21 Gbit/s Firewall Throughput Decides Fit

The headline firewall throughput of 12.21 Gbit/s determines whether the XGS 108 matches your internet circuit and inspection requirements. IMIX throughput is 8 100 Mbps while TLS inspection peaks at 800 Mbps and IPS at 2 500 Mbps. Six 2.5 GBase-T copper ports and one 1000Base-X SFP port provide the physical interfaces. MTBF is rated at 1 282 629 hours.
