Central Endpoint Updates Caching to XG

Ed H

Hi

Looking to migrate on prem clients to Central and have an XG as the gateway - if I enable the `Always cache Sophos endpoint updates` on the XG will the central clients use this? If so how will I know they are getting the updates from XG? (is there a report/function to view?)

Bandwidth is of concern with an entire organisation working remotely so I would like to be sure if I do migrate these on-prem clients to Central the pipe is not going to get saturated with updates.

Any help appreciated

Regards

Ed

    Hi Ed,

    If we're concerned about bandwidth saturation you can configure the maximum bandwidth each endpoint will update at under Global Settings > Bandwidth Usage.  By default this is set to 256 Kb/s.

    If you're concerned about bandwidth as a whole you could deploy out an Update Cache in your environment that your endpoints update from although this might not help with an entire organization working remotely.  All endpoints will attempt to use the Update Cache first and will fail over to Sophos Central if it cannot reach it.  You can also view which computers are using the Update Cache from Sophos Central.  I would say these options would be more ideal than 'Always cache Sophos endpoint updates' on the XG.

    Bandwidth Usage sounds a good solution (and on by default) but I am not sure about the Update Cache - I would of thought that having bought into a joined up solution would remove the need for additional external services outside of Central and the XG but have had a look at the link and it maybe the only way to go.

     

    Many thanks for the time and information.
