Comparing the M295 to the M290?
The M295 is the next-generation successor to the M290, offering multi-gig ports, higher UTM throughput, and
a larger concurrent connection table. If your office has moved to a faster ISP or has growing video and
cloud traffic, the M295 is the natural upgrade. Compare the full M Series lineup to find your ideal fit.
The M295 is the next-generation replacement for the M290. It delivers higher UTM
throughput (1.85 Gbps vs. 1.18 Gbps), a larger concurrent connection table (6,000,000 vs. 3,500,000),
and built-in multi-gig ports (4x2.5G and 4x1G plus 2x SFP+), while the M290 uses 8x1G ports and an
expansion bay. The M295 also supports 100 BOVPN tunnels compared to 75 on the M290.
The M295 is designed for small sites and remote offices with up to about 100 users.
With 1.85 Gbps of UTM throughput and 100 Branch Office VPN tunnels, it comfortably handles a compact
modern office with room to grow.
