Hi eveyrone,
Hi everyone. I have wanted to try out Sophos XG for a while now. The only thing that has stopped me is that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sustain my Verizon FiOS Gigabit Down/UP connection with the hardware limitations in the Sophos XG home edition. I am currently running pfSense on this hardware. It has an Intel Atom C2758 2.4Ghz 8-Core CPU, 16 GB RAM, and a 120gb SSD.
Now I know the sophos xg home is limited to 4 cores / 6gb of RAM. After posting on Sophos reddit the other day, it looks like a high cpu clock rate is just as, if not more, important than the amount of cores. I have searched around but am having a hard time finding something that will work. Can you guys recommend an appliance that will fit the bill here? I plan to eventually turn on all the features (IPS, AV Scanning, Web Filtering, SSL Decrypt, etc.) I preferably would like something rack mountable but a mini pc or something like that would be ok too. I am looking for something built or barebones. I am trying to avoid building this from scratch. The best I have come with so far is a Dell R210 ii with a xeon e3 chip in it which clocks around 3.1 - 3.3 ghz base. Not sure if that is a high enough clock rate or not. What are you guys using for this type of scenario? Thank you for your help.
