Sophos SG Series Appliances
Unleash the full potential of your network
The Sophos SG Series appliances are designed to provide the optimal balance
between performance and protection – for diverse IT environments. Whether
you need a solution for a small remote office, want to protect your school
campus, or are a global organization requiring high-availability and enterprisegrade features, our SG Series appliances are an ideal fit.
Versatile
Appliances to suit every environment
Our broad product line-up makes it easy for you to choose
the right appliance. A higher model number indicates
higher throughput and an increased number of ports or
connectivity options.
And as every software subscription is available on every
appliance, you can flexibly size the solution to fit your
budget and your individual security needs. Next-generation
firewall features or all-in-one security on a single box, it’s
your choice.
Rapid
Proven performance on all models
Our appliances are built upon the most advanced Intel
technology. Optimized use of multi-core processors
allows consolidation of your security solutions without a
performance trade-off.
With faster than ever firewall, IPS and VPN throughput
speeds, our SG Series appliances effortlessly handle
multiple tasks simultaneously. Plus, you can easily scale up
by dynamically clustering up to 10 units* without external
load balancers.
Reliable
Built for business – today and tomorrow
Using the latest Intel technology, our products provide the
utmost in flexibility. Add to your protection as you need
it - without changing or upgrading your hardware. That
means you benefit from future software and performance
enhancements which guarantees the best possible value
for money.
Redundancy features such as a second power supply
are available for all 1U, 2U and even our Desktop models.
Additionally, the 1U SG 450 and all 2Us come with a second
hard-drive.
Modular
Flexible configuration options
Configure your hardware to suit your infrastructure and
change it as and when you need to. Our optional FleXi
Port LAN modules give you the freedom to select the
connectivity you need – copper, fiber, 10 GbE or 40 GbE–
you decide.
FleXi Port modules are interchangeable within a range, e.g.
1U, saving you money if you upgrade to a different model at
a later date.
Responsive
Technology built to process data
in real-time
Your network is constantly changing so your protection
needs to be adaptive. All our appliances have integrated
solid state disks (SSDs) for local storage of spam quarantine
data and faster access to comprehensive reports and realtime logs.
Accelerated in-memory content scanning in secure proxy
mode makes your defenses more effective and efficient.
* For HA support, appliances must be of the same model AND revision number

Some of our Desktop models now include an expansion bay
to add an optional module, e.g. for 3G/4G connectivity. We
also offer an optional SFP DSL modem for Desktop models.
Connected
Full wireless coverage – for every office
Our SG 100 Series desktop models with integrated wireless
are a very tidy solution for even the most compact office
space. As the access point is built in, you do not require any
extra hardware. Should you need additional coverage or
have a larger space, you can add Sophos access points.
Every one of our Desktop appliances is available with a
built-in wireless controller for you to connect and manage
Sophos access points. You can also add a 2nd Wi-Fi radio to
the SG 135w for even better performance and coverage.

Awards and Reviews
Sophos SG Series UTM has garnered many awards over the years for the level of protection, usability and performance.
For example, in 2017, Sophos was once again named by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat
Management* – for the sixth year in a row. Download the full report to find out what Gartner says about us.
“It all adds up to an appliance that gets it right on almost
every level: easy deployment, a huge range of features and
a tempting price make the SG 115w the perfect choice for
SMBs.”
Independent test vendor Miercom conducted rigorous
testing of the Sophos SG Series alongside comparative
appliances from other vendors. They found the Sophos SG
230 and SG 210 proved best in competitive performance
tests compared to other leading UTM product solutions.
Sophos UTM is tested by trained ICSA Labs firewall
analysts and continuously deployed in the ICSA Firewall
Lab to routinely test products against the latest security
vulnerabilities.
