Today we have released Sophos UTM Manager 4.1. This adds the necessary support for the new Sophos Managed Service Provider (MSP) program*. Later in 2013 we will then release SUM 4.2 which will include many new features for general use by all. SUM lets you centrally monitor, configure, and report on multiple Sophos UTM installations. It is offered completely free of charge, so whether you have two or over two-hundred UTM's under your control, SUM is for you! Just download it and run it on your own hardware, almost any virtualization platform (Eg. VMware) or inside the Amazon Cloud using our pre-built AMI. If you have not yet had the chance, I'd invite you to try this product. This version introduces the MSP features for licensing and billing, acts as platform upon which we can build more offerings in future releases, and fixes some bugs. Up2Date from SUM 4.000 is not yet possible, however as always you can restore your backup file into a new SUM 4.1 installation. *If you offer managed services (or are looking to start) and are interested in signing up as an MSP, you should contact your sales representative at Sophos.
