You've got a small office, a handful of desks, and a fibre line that's faster than your current firewall can inspect. The XGS 88W is the entry point into Sophos' second-gen desktop range: 9.9 Gbps firewall throughput, 6 Gbps IPsec VPN, and 4× 2.5 GbE ports so your switch and AP don't get starved. Built-in Wi-Fi 6 means you can skip a separate access point for a small footprint. Single-CPU virtual FastPath architecture (SF OS v21+) keeps it lean. Half the power draw of the first-gen model. Small office, no compromise on inspection depth
