Your network's encrypted traffic is eating throughput alive. The national chain says six weeks. You need it running Monday.
The Sophos XGS 5500 pushes 100Gbps of firewall traffic through a dedicated Xstream Flow processor that handles encrypted, cloud-hosted apps without choking your main CPU. No dropped sessions during the 9am rush. No bottleneck hiding behind TLS.
You get 8x1GbE copper and 8x10Gb SFP+ fixed ports straight out of the box. Need more density? Flexi Port slots (2 + 1 for high-density) take you to 48 ports total. Dual hot-swap PSUs. Dual SSD with hardware RAID built into the CPU board. Two bypass port pairs so a firmware update never takes your site offline.
92.5Gbps IPSec VPN. 46Gbps threat protection. 13.5Gbps TLS inspection. 5-microsecond latency on 64-byte UDP. These are the numbers that keep a distributed enterprise moving when the traffic spikes.
Transceivers sold separately. Everything else is in the box, racked, and ready to wire in
