Sophos UTM SG 550 - Will it be fast enough?

Hi All,

I have no experience with the Sophos UTM and am looking for some advice.  We're currently looking at the Sophos UTM and the reseller has suggested we go for the Sophos UTM SG 550. We have a 1Gpbs line and between 2500-3000 simultaneous users.  Does anyone else use the SG 550 in a college or university?  If so, do you think it will be up to this task?

Thanks!

  • Your experience with the SG550 is going to depend heavily upon your enabled features and actual traffic patterns.

    You would also need to consider if the unit is only handling North/South traffic flowing in and out of the Internet, or if you also have East/West traffic going between internal networks going through the unit.

    Your actual requirements will vary significantly based upon those traffic patterns.  The SG 550 can handle a large amount of traffic from a large number of users, you need to know a bit more about what traffic you are putting through it first to know if it is sized correctly.

    The new hardware is much faster. But with a unclever configuration you can slow down every hardware.

  • I'd suggest having your Partner do a complete evaluation of your needs to determine what appliance is the best fit for your organization; they can also engage Sophos Channel support to ensure the right unit is being purchased.
