New Minimalist Rackmount Kits for Sophos Firewalls
Many customers have repeatedly told us that the original rackmount kits from Sophos are comparatively expensive. Some have tried alternatives from Rackmount.it or racknex, but those solutions have not always proved ideal either, whether because of high costs, unnecessary additional features or overly complicated installation.
For this reason, we developed our own solution: minimalist rackmount kits that focus on the essentials. Our goal was to create a simple, stable and space-saving way to mount Sophos Firewalls securely in a rack, without unnecessary extras.
Our new rackmount kits in detail
Our brackets are available for the following desktop firewall models:
These kits consist only of the rack brackets needed to securely mount the firewalls in a 19-inch rack. They are made from high-quality metal and provide stable support without compromising the design or function of the devices. The color is matched precisely to Sophos Firewalls, so the overall appearance remains consistent.
With these kits, we offer a minimalist alternative for anyone who wants to mount their Sophos Firewalls in a rack simply, quickly and securely.
Price
Price was the main reason we started this project in the first place. On the one hand, there is the price of the product itself. On the other, there is the cost of the employee who needs a good 10 to 15 minutes to install one of the other rackmount kits. With an HA cluster it takes even longer, and longer still if it is their first installation and they first have to check the manual to see which of the different screws goes where.
For this reason, we are not asking €180, but only €90. Customers who choose a Sophos Firewall subscription with us pay only €45.
We have sufficient stock and can deliver throughout the EU and Switzerland.

Customer Feedback
None 😂. There is no feedback, no criticism and no praise. Why would there be? It is a rack bracket, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
