XG hardware recommendation compared to existing equipment

Jason Etten

I am currently running a micro server: Supermicro MBD-X11SBA-LN4F-O. This board has a Intel® Pentium® Processor N3700 which is 1.6Ghz with 4 cores and 4 threads.

I want to upgrade because I currently experience very slow response with the web console. The login is slow, the loading of the stats is slow and any thing I try to change or update is slow. I am unable to run the AV because it maxes out the CPU and the internet becomes really slow.

I am looking at the Supermicro MDB-A1SRi-2758F-O. This board has a Intel® Atom Processor C2758 which is 2.4Ghz with 8 cores and 8 threads.

I know that Sophos XG home can not utilize the 8 cores (only 4).

Will I gain enough processing power to solve my issues and be able to run the AV?

    Hi,

    the issue with your original board is not enough ram, not the processor speed.

    i don’t think you gain much in the way of GUI update speed with your new mb, make sure you have 6gb of ram so you can run all available features  to home users  and at least an 70 to 120gb disk.

    Thanks for the response. I looked and I am running 4GB of RAM. I will add another 2 and see if that fixes my issues.

    I also have 120GB SSD installed.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    wait about 30 minutes after you enable the AV features to allow for updates, your internet will be very slow during this time.

    The GUI will still be slow, that is why I went from my lower box back to my Xeon based box.
