Your office network is crawling. Threats are slipping through. And that old firewall is burning power for half the throughput it should give you. The Sophos XGS 88 fixes all three. Four 2.5 GE copper ports push traffic at up to 9,900 Mbps without a single bottleneck between your switch and access points. Single-CPU architecture with virtual FastPath (Sophos Firewall OS v21+) keeps deep inspection fast. IPS runs at 2,000 Mbps. IPsec VPN handles 6,000 Mbps. TLS inspection at 600 Mbps. Pairs cleanly with a 2.5 GE switch and Wi-Fi 6 access points. AU power cord in the box. Ships direct from Sophos. Requires an active MSP Flex subscription under a 12-month HWaaS commitment
