Overview XG v15 v16 Update ....

ThomasLichtenstern1

Hi, can someone help me to get some clearance in the version jungle (at least for me)?

What is Sophos XG? is it v15 or v16?

Has v15 anything to do with v16? (can I upgrade or is it a new install?)

Cant find a answer in the forums posts...

Thanks Thomas

    Hi Thomas,

    Sophos XG is the latest UTM platform from sophos. The operating system is called SFOS ( Sophos Firewall Operating System) and hardware appliances that comes pre-installed with SFOS is called XG+model number.

    So if you buy an XG105 then it's shipped with SFOS and if you're buying an SG105 then you're getting an appliance with UTM9.. The hardware is the same. SG appliance can be "upgraded" to run SFOS by converting the existing UTM9 license, but the opposite can't be done.

    The initial release of SFOS is called v15 and was released in november 2015. The 2016 release will be called v16 and is currently in public beta.. You will be able to upgrade from v15 to v16 without starting from scratch. The configuration will be migrated during install.

    I hope this answers your questions.
