Sophos XGS 116 Enhanced to Enhanced Plus Support Upgrade

Enhanced Plus Support - for additional support services from Sophos

Sophos offers two different support plans for its firewalls, Enhanced and Enhanced Plus. With this upgrade you can upgrade an Enhanced Support license to an Enhanced Plus license.

• Service Level Agreement (SLA) with shorter response times: Enhanced Plus Support offers improved SLAs with shorter response times compared to Enhanced Support.
• Remote Consulting: This service includes personalized consulting sessions with Sophos experts to optimize and effectively deploy your systems. All sessions can be flexibly scheduled and are conducted remotely to minimize interruptions. After each session, you will receive a detailed summary of the actions taken.
• Expert support: Remote consulting gives you access to Sophos experts who can help you effectively implement and optimize your Sophos solutions. These experts have deep knowledge of Sophos products and technologies and can help you solve complex technical challenges.
• VIP contact with senior support engineers: As part of Sophos Enhanced Plus Support, you get privileged access to senior support engineers from Sophos.

HA Cluster

If you want to run a high availability cluster with two Sophos Firewall appliances in (active-passive mode), only the first appliance needs to be licensed. However, the second appliance requires Sophos Enhanced Plus Support to ensure that it is covered under warranty in the event of a hardware failure. Enhanced Plus Support ensures that your HA cluster is functioning optimally at all times and is supported quickly and efficiently when needed.
