Sophos increases prices for SG series, access points and REDs

In a month, Sophos increases prices. The rationale is as follows:

Global supply chain challenges have led to significant price increases for components and shipping costs

Excerpt from Sophos email to Sophos partners in December 2021

The following products are affected:

-Sophos UTM appliances and SG Series licenses (+10%)
-Sophos APX Series Access Points (+20%)
-Sophos SD-RED Remote Ethernet Devices (+20%)

Why exactly the licenses will also become expensive is not entirely clear to us, since they are neither affected by the chip crisis nor by higher shipping costs. 🤷‍♂️

The XG and XGS appliances are not affected…. yet. 🤔
