XG 106 oder XG 115 für zu Hause?

Christos Vassiliou

Hallo,

Hello,

I want to buy Sophos hardware but I don't know which one.
I am superior between the XG 106 and the XG 115.

What do I have at home?

  • 1x NAS (always in use)
  • 4x PC (4-6 hours)
  • 2x laptop (4-6 hours)
  • 1x printer
  • 2x television (2-5 hours)
  • 2X PS4
  • 3x WiFi-AP
  • 4x mobile phones
  • 2x iPad
  • 1x Fritz box
  • 1x VoIP
  • IPS: 1 Gbit/s real 800mbit

Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks

    It's not worth to pay for a XG appliance for home usage. (It's only worth if you have a need for Sandstorm, but still you would have to pay yearly license for something you can get for free.)

    The best thing you can do is self-build a PC yourself.

    The current limit of the XG Home license is 4 Cores and 6GB of RAM, since you have a gigabit connection, then you need to get at least a high-clock CPU (IPS still isn't fully multi-threaded, If you download a file, which uses a single connection, you will be limit do a single core right now.)

     

    Cheapest CPU you can get right now for gigabit speeds is:

    - Intel G5400 ($65.) (Dual Core CPU with hyper-threading and High Clock.)

    - Your best bet to - never have a performance issue with XG is the Intel I3-9100 ($130.) (Quad Core CPU with High Clock.)

    You can also use AMD CPUs for this, but I don't recommend it, since Hyperscan (One of the high-performance library's of Snort that XG uses) only have performance improvements for Intel CPUs.

     

    I'm currently using the Intel G5400, With IPS/AV/TLS Decryption I can get 910Mbit/s over a HTTPS Download (Single Connection.). Around 2Gbit/s in total throughput with this CPU. (Multiple Connections.).

    Also, the throughput will vary a lot depending on the kind of traffic that's passing through XG.

     

    Also, don't get those 4 Cores Intel Atoms, their cheap, but not worth from a computing perspective.

     

    Thanks!

    Just to be sure, did you purchase enough hard disk storage? 

    As far as i know, XG needs 80 GB storage to run. The other can correct me, if i am wrong.
