Overview
- The Sophos XGS 4500 is a high-performance 1U rackmount security firewall engineered for midsize and distributed organisations. It combines 80 Gbps firewall throughput, 75.55 Gbps IPsec VPN capacity, and 31.85 Gbps threat protection in a compact form factor, making it ideal for environments where performance and security cannot be compromised.
The appliance features a dedicated Xstream Flow processor for hardware-accelerated threat inspection and a diverse range of built-in high-speed interfaces: four 1GbE copper ports, four 2.5GbE copper ports, and four 10GbE SFP+ fibre ports. This mixed connectivity approach supports SD-WAN deployments, remote user access, and future bandwidth growth without requiring external switches.
Redundancy is built in with dual SSD storage, RAID-1 support, and optional secondary power supply. Two Flexi Port slots enable modular expansion with optional PoE, additional copper, or fibre connectivity modules, allowing you to tailor the firewall to your specific network topology.
With ultra-low 4 µs latency on 64-byte UDP traffic and comprehensive threat protection capabilities, the XGS 4500 is well-suited to organisations balancing performance requirements with security maturity.
