Sophos XGS 2100 Security Firewall Appliance – 1U Rackmount | 30G Firewall | 8× GE + 2× SFP

Your network's front door is wide open, and the last firewall you bought was a spec sheet that promised more than it delivered. The XGS 2100 closes that gap without asking you to stack three appliances in a half-empty rack shelf.

Sophos built this for midsize and distributed Australian sites — schools running 80+ devices, clinics with remote clinicians, or a growing office where the old box simply can't keep up. One unit handles firewall, IPS, IPsec VPN, TLS inspection, and threat protection. No separate appliance. No extra rack space.

The dedicated Xstream Flow processor offloads flow handling from the main CPU, so your 30G firewall throughput stays flat even when IPS and NGFW are both running. That's 17G of IPsec VPN for your remote staff and 6G of IPS without the packet-queueing headaches you've probably lived with on a generic box.

You get 8× GE copper and 2× SFP fibre ports out of the box. One Flexi Port slot means you can add an 8-port module, a PoE module (4 ports, 60W) for site-level APs or cameras, or a bypass module when you need a clean failover path. Max port density hits 18 with modules installed.

Management's straightforward: dedicated RJ45 management port, a COM port, and USB 3.0 on the front for quick log pulls or USB storage. Transceivers for the SFP slots are sold separately — we stock the common ones if you need them matched to your fibre run.

Optional external redundant PSU is available if your site can't afford a single-point power failure. Dual SSD/RAID isn't on this model, so if log retention matters, pair it with a syslog server or USB storage.
