Hallo Elena, (Sorry, my German-speaking brain isn't creating thoughts at the moment. [:(]) As Jason says, the SG and XG series are identical. Sophos calls the move from the ASG/UTM software to the XG Firewall software an "upgrade" - confirmation that SG hardware will run the XG Firewall software. Sophos will usually announce "end of sales" 18 months ahead of when they will stop selling something and then announce "end of support" 18 months ahead of ending support, so don't expect that bug fixes will stop occurring anytime in the near future. The automatic transfer of UTM configurations to XG Firewall configurations has been in closed beta for almost two years. Until the XG Firewall can do virtually everything the UTM can and until the automatic transfer is fully functional, I don't expect that Sophos will make any announcements about "end of life" for UTM. Having said all that, I wouldn't recommend a Sophos appliance for home use as they are underpowered if your Internet connection is over 60 Mbps. Build another one for yourself. Get the fastest CPU you can afford with a number of cores dependent on the number of people in your home - 2 or 4. MfG - Bob (Bitte auf Deutsch weiterhin.)
