  • Fanless desktop design suits noise-sensitive environments

Desktop firewall with 2.5 GbE ports

The Sophos XGS 118 is a new desktop security appliance built around an Intel x86 CPU, 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 64 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. It provides nine 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports, one SFP fiber port, two console interfaces and two USB ports for management and expansion.

Suited for small offices needing encrypted-traffic

Organisations that require TLS 1.3 inspection, zero-day sandboxing and SD-WAN orchestration in a fanless, low-power chassis will fit this model. Buyers who need an integrated Xstream Flow Processor, RAID storage or additional expansion slots should look at a different appliance.

15,500 Mbps firewall throughput

The published firewall throughput of 15,500 Mbps is the headline performance figure that determines whether the appliance can handle the expected traffic load. All other throughput numbers — IMIX, IPsec VPN, threat protection, TLS inspection, IPS and NGFW — scale from this baseline.

Questions about this item

Will the 64 GB UFS 2.1 storage need replacement within the 228,927-hour MTBF window?

The 64 GB UFS 2.1 storage is soldered and has no user-replaceable parts; the appliance carries a 228,927-hour MTBF rating with no expansion slots for storage upgrades.

Which throughput figure caps sustained TLS 1.3 inspection on the XGS 118?

TLS inspection throughput is rated at 1,100 Mbps, lower than the 15,500 Mbps firewall or 3,950 Mbps NGFW rates, so encrypted traffic inspection becomes the bottleneck first.

How does the fanless desktop unit handle heat and noise during continuous operation?

The fanless 320 x 212 x 44 mm desktop chassis runs silently; with 2.4 kg weight and no moving parts, heat dissipates passively across the metal enclosure.
