Sophos XGS 138 Firewall for Hong Kong Businesses

As your business grows, so does the demand on your network. The Sophos XGS 138 is a mid-range next-generation firewall built for growing companies that need more throughput than an entry-level desktop unit — while keeping deployment simple and protection enterprise-grade.

Sophos XGS 138: serious throughput for serious offices

The XGS 138 is the step-up choice for Hong Kong SMEs that have outgrown the XGS 88 class of firewall. Key specs:

• 19.1 Gbps firewall throughput — handles high-bandwidth workloads with ease
• 6.6 Gbps IPsec VPN — fast, secure site-to-site and remote-access connectivity
• 5.1 Gbps NGFW throughput — inspects traffic without bottlenecking your users
• 6.55 million concurrent connections — ample headroom for a busy office
• 2 × 10GE SFP+ fibre ports — future-proof high-speed connectivity
• Desktop or rack-mount form factor — fits the way you deploy

Enterprise features as standard

Built on Sophos’ Xstream architecture with dedicated hardware acceleration, the XGS 138 delivers IPS, antivirus, web filtering and SSL/TLS inspection at wire speed. It also extends the Sophos XGS series advantages: unified management through Sophos Central, zero-touch deployment, and full visibility across your network from a single console.

Synchronized Security

Like the rest of the XGS range, the 138 pairs your firewall with Sophos’ Synchronized Security — when an endpoint detects a threat, the firewall automatically isolates the affected device. Your network defends itself, without waiting for manual intervention.

Positioning: XGS 138 vs FortiGate 70G / 80F

In the mid-range segment, the FortiGate 70G is a popular alternative. Both offer strong throughput and enterprise-grade security; the XGS 138 stands out with its 10GE fibre ports and Synchronized Security, while FortiGate is known for competitive pricing and a broad licensing ecosystem. For businesses planning their next growth phase, the FortiGate G-series upgrade path is also worth comparing.
