Intel Atom CPU - C3358 XG v19

Mike Scott

Good evening,

Looking at a hardware refresh, but looking to achieve something low powered.  I'm currently using a PondDesk based unit with a E3845 on Untangle (watching Arista's aquasition), but looking to return to Sophos XG that I previously had running on a Dell PowerEdge R220 unit.

My connection is Virgin Media 100/10 cable, but will move to a FTTP setup as soon as I'm able in my area, sadly probaby 18 months away at least, so I'd return to a 70/20 Vodafone ADSL setup.

With the latest v19 Sophos XG, will the Atom I'm looking at be suitable?  The reason why I ran Sophos XG on my R220 previously was due to the UI being quite slow.

Many thanks,

Mike

    HI 

    Yes I saw that they were going EOS in 2025.  I doubt I'll be able to get FTTP by then, but fingers crossed.  However with the cost of living becoming more of an issue across the world, how much do you need.

    I understand people's comments re why go for a commercial license, but having not actually seen costs yet.  Bear in mind I was originally happy to spend on a PA-440 unit.  I have a keen interest in this stuff, but also what can go on the CV.  pfsense, Sophos XG, PA, Fortinet and so on.  Untangle, not so much unless Arista do some amazing transformation.  Equally each of these brands has their target market space.

    The original reason for also reviewing kit, was due to the power draw on it.   I've got a TrueNas box that is also consuming 50-60w (PowerEdge T340 with now 4 x Red HDDs, down from 8.)

    I think the confusion about licensing is that the home edition gives you just about all the features, so why spend the money?

    You should see about 30-40W for the XG 230
