The full-featured firewall for growing businesses — as a monthly subscription. The Sophos XGS 108 (Gen 2) with complete Xstream Protection licensing: hardware, licence, 24/7 support and lifecycle replacement in one predictable monthly price. No capital outlay, no licence renewals to track.
Why subscribe instead of buy
- Zero CapEx — one forecastable monthly operating cost instead of hardware purchase plus multi-year licence invoices.
- Never unlicensed — Xstream Protection is bundled for the life of the service, so IPS signatures, sandboxing and support can't lapse.
- No feature compromises — unlike the entry-level XGS 88, the 108 supports the complete Sophos feature set including on-box reporting, MTA-mode email protection and full WAF scanning.
- Hardware refresh is our problem — faulty or end-of-life units are replaced under the service.
- Optional colocation bundle — we can rack, power and connect it in our data centre, in front of your hosted servers. Quoted separately.
