Hardware suggestion for Sophos UTM Home Edition

My license(s) on my Zyxel USG110 is expiring, and I`m thinking of switching to Sophos UTM Home Edition rather than renewing.

I would appreciate some hardware suggestion for a fanless/very silent build that has performance close to/better than SG135(w).

This is for home use with few users, my bandwidth is 1Gbps up/down and I`ll mostly be using it for

IPS & AV. Not VPN. I don`t need 1Gbps performance, but I`d prefer to have at least 350Mbps of AV&IPS troughput.

I also have a R7000 and a GS1900-8 to use with it.

 

Can anyone recommend a build that will work and be stable? My budget is up to $800, but I`d prefer to stay below $500 if possible. I`d also prefer buying a complete prebuilt hardware appliance if there are any lower cost alternatives to a SG 135.

 

Are there any Zotac models, such as the Zotac ZBOX MI531 or CI323, that will work without problems, and satisfy my requirements for throughput?

  • Hi,

    a zotac CI 323 can be used.. utm will run on it.. just need to update the bios to the latest. there are some threads here with ppl discussing about it and how to install it.

    WLAN cant be used...

    better hardware is in the CI 545 model ... but not sure if it is supported by UTM installer (maybe driver problem for ethernet-ports..).. search for ppl using this model with utm..

  • Hi Zaphod,

     

    Thanks for the tip. The Cl545 is a bit expensive, and the only reference I found to it and sophos was one where there was an ethernet problem, as you mentioned. 

    The Cl323 has a very attractive price. Do you have any idea what kind of throughout I can expect with it?

     

    Too bad the WLAN cant be used. That would have been nice. 

    Any thoughts on the Zotac M-series?
