XG Firewall - Roadmap?

Hej,

is there a roadmap for the XGs for the next major versions and the planned functions?

Thanks.

  • I understand that there could be some more communication about the road map and active development from Sophos, but it's also not very useful to constantly complain in the forums. If you're a Sophos partner, you can get some information from your rep at anytime. If you're not, then contact your partner regarding this information.

    I'm a Sophos Partner myself and some updates were given during the Sophos Discover Partner Conference last week. Since I don't think any of this has been shared yet publicly, here is some info to give you a bit of an insight:

    - No major features are going to be developed for v17.5 since all focus is on getting v18 ready for release (bug fixed will still be rolled out in MRs as needed)

    - There will be an early access program for v18 in July

    - GA for v18 is planned for November

    - there is no full feature list for v18 available yet, only internally at Sophos but v18 contains TONS of new features and improvements

    - v18 will separate NAT from firewall rules and have more configuration options (which some users have complained about)

    - v18 will improve overall performance by 30%+ and new XG hardware (optimized for new packet processing engine) will be released in early 2020 to bring even more performance

      

    Hope this helps a little. I'm sure there's more to come as we get closer to the July EAP release.

  • new XG hardware (optimized for new packet processing engine) will be released in early 2020 to bring even more performance?

     

    Is there any news when new hardware will be released? xg 330 v3?

    Hey Jan,

    I had a meeting with my Sophos rep last week and they said there was a Launch of V18 and Hardware in the coming couple of weeks. (Australia)
