Which Sophos XGS suits an office?
Choose a Sophos XGS appliance from its exact generation and the capacity required with your security features enabled, not from office headcount or the model number alone. Compare threat-protection, SSL/TLS-inspection and VPN figures with the intended workload, then identify interfaces, availability requirements and growth. Quote hardware, the subscription bundle, support and licence term explicitly; a renewal is not a new appliance.

Before you order
Information needed for a clear material quote
Inspected workload
Provide peak traffic, concurrent users and sessions, internet circuits and the intended IPS, web and TLS-inspection policy. Separate measured demand from a planning estimate.
VPN and resilience
List remote-user and site-to-site VPN needs, interfaces and any high-availability requirement. Include existing appliance models when compatibility matters.
Order type
Say whether this is new hardware with subscriptions, a subscription-only order, a renewal or an expansion. Retain the exact generation and full ordering code.
Licence scope
Name the desired protection features, support level and term. For a renewal, supply the appliance serial and current subscription details privately with the enquiry.
Keep the specification intact. A staff-count band or headline firewall-throughput figure is not a validated sizing recommendation. An appliance, its protection subscriptions and a renewal must remain distinct quote lines.
Ordering questions
Is headline firewall throughput enough to size a Sophos XGS?
No. Review the performance metrics that correspond to the features and traffic mix you plan to use, including encrypted inspection and VPN where required. Ask for model validation against that workload, with the assumptions written beside the proposed appliance.
Can a Sophos subscription-only code be quoted as a new firewall?
No. Confirm whether the ordering code includes an appliance or only subscriptions. For an existing firewall, identify the serial number, current entitlement, required protection features, support and term before preparing a renewal quote.
These are procurement checks, not a site survey or a guarantee of compatibility. Confirm the exact model, approved design and current manufacturer documents before ordering.
