The Sophos XGS 136 firewall is a robust choice for medium-sized businesses and can support up to approximately 300-500 users, depending on usage specifics and network requirements. It offers more processing power and throughput than the XGS 128, making it suitable for environments with higher demands. The actual number of supported users can vary based on:
- Network Traffic: Applications that consume high bandwidth (e.g., streaming, large downloads, VoIP) will reduce the effective user capacity.
- Security Features: Using features like SSL/TLS inspection, deep packet inspection, and advanced threat protection requires additional resources, which can lower user capacity.
- Concurrent Connections: The XGS 136 can handle a high number of concurrent connections, allowing for better performance in high-traffic environments.
