Description
In the highly competitive digital economy of Dubai and the GCC, small businesses are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber-attacks.
The Sophos XGS107 is engineered to level the playing field, providing SMBs with the same elite-level protection used by global enterprises.
This compact desktop appliance is the ideal solution for organizations that need to balance high-speed connectivity with deep, multi-layered threat protection.
At Netmate IT Solutions, we specialize in deploying the Sophos XGS107 for businesses that require a future-proof network.
By separating the control plane from the data plane, the XGS107 allows your team in Dubai to run deep-packet inspection (DPI)
and secure VPNs simultaneously, ensuring that your cloud-based applications like Microsoft 365 and Zoom remain fast and responsive.

Xstream Architecture: Zero-Compromise Security
The secret to the Sophos XGS107 industry-leading performance lies in its dual-processor architecture.
While standard firewalls often struggle with the heavy computational load of modern encryption,
Sophos uses a dedicated FastPath to keep your traffic moving.
- Multi-Core Main CPU: Handles complex tasks like user authentication, enterprise-grade reporting, and deep-layer security logic.
- Xstream Flow Processor: A dedicated Network Processing Unit (NPU) that hardware-accelerates trusted traffic flows such as VoIP and SD-WAN, reducing latency to an incredible 6 µs.
Hardware-Accelerated TLS 1.3 Inspection
With nearly 90% of web traffic in the UAE now encrypted, visibility is your first line of defense.
The Sophos XGS107 provides 420 Mbps of TLS inspection throughput, allowing your security team in Dubai
to see and block threats hidden within encrypted streams without creating a bottleneck for your end-users.
