The Sophos XGS 118 is a step up from the XGS 108 series and is generally designed for small to medium-sized businesses with a need for higher performance and user support. It can handle approximately 100-200 users in typical scenarios, depending on usage specifics:
- Traffic Demands: Intensive applications such as streaming, cloud applications, and large file transfers will reduce the number of users it can handle effectively.
- Enabled Security Features: Using features like SSL inspection, deep packet inspection, and advanced threat protection may lower capacity because they require additional processing power.
- Concurrent Connections: The XGS 118 supports a larger number of concurrent connections and higher throughput compared to the XGS 108, making it more suitable for environments with moderate network traffic.
