What is the future of Sophos Home License?

JasP

The current software image used for Sophos Home only supports Intel Processors but Sophos has moved to using AMD processors for the XGS models.

The older XG models with Intel processors are going EOL in a couple of years. If Sophos are not going to support paid licences on Intel processors, it is very difficult to see them continuing to support Intel processors for Home licences from which they get no income.

So what is the future of Sophos Home? Are Sophos going to move to it being an AMD processor product (with UEFI support)? Will people have to throw away their Intel processor based hardware? Or are Sophos going to provide extended support for Intel processors in the software image?

    Interesting comments and thanks for the feedback.

    The problem with a forum like this is the limited audience. The responses are all from very technical people. I do believe there is a subset of technically interested people who could get to grips with Sophos Home but would balk at having to setup a hypervisor. Even for people who 'work in IT', there is a big difference in networking and operating systems and you can be very proficient in one and know nothing about the other.

    Anyway, my take away from this is don't expect much in the way of changes from Sophos Home and if you want to work outside its current limitations, hypervisor is going to be your only answer.

    With this in mind, if you have any thoughts about suitable hypervisors, I would love to hear your thoughts here - What hypervisor would you use to install Sophos Home?
