Sophos XGS 7500 and XGS 8500 next generation firewall (NGFW) appliances provide high-performance protection for large enterprises and campus deployments
Sophos, the leading provider of cyber security products & service around the world, has broadened its existing portfolio of firewall appliances by introducing two enterprise-grade XGS Series of next generation firewall (NGFW) systems in models, XGS 7500 and XGS 8500.
“Large enterprises are under incredible pressure to support tens of thousands of users, all while protecting against complex cyberthreats and demonstrating clear return on IT infrastructure investments amidst today’s challenging economic climate,” said Daniel Cole, Vice President of Network Security Product Management at Sophos.
“Sophos is shaking up the competitive enterprise firewall landscape with these new high-performance appliances, providing best in class price per protected megabit per second (Mbps). Network performance, reliability and security are top of mind as customers grow and expand their infrastructure needs, and these platforms enable organizations to grow and scale without having to compromise on security, which is often the case in larger, more demanding environments,” elaborated Cole.
“For our channel partners, we’re creating new opportunities to support distributed organizations needing everything from managing an office of one to the most complex environments protecting tens of thousands of distributed users,” added he.
The new XGS 7500 and 8500 models deliver high quality modular connectivity; scalable software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) features; trusted traffic and application acceleration; high performance Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection; threat protection; and enterprise-grade, high-availability and redundancy capabilities.
