Palo Alto Networks’ Next-Generation Firewalls
Nine years ago, Palo Alto forever changed the network security industry with the introduction of the next-generation firewall. There breakthrough architecture brought unparalleled control through the safe enablement of applications, and exceptional levels of protection by blocking all known threats operating across a multitude of different vectors. Two years ago, they again changed the industry with the introduction of WildFire and a next-generation threat cloud that focused on detecting and defending against the most advanced, unknown threats. With over 16,000 customers, their strategy and leadership position are firmly set.
PA 7050
The PA-7050 protects datacenters and high-speed networks with firewall throughput of up to 120 Gbps and, full threat prevention at speeds of up to 100 Gbps. To address the computationally intensive nature of full-stack classification and analysis at speeds of 120 Gbps, more than 400 processors are distributed across networking, security, switch management and logging functions. The result is that the PA-7050 allows you to deploy next-generation security in your datacenters without compromising performance.
PA 5000 Series
Use the PA-5060, PA-5050, and PA-5020 to safely enable applications, users, and content in high-speed datacenter, large Internet gateway, service provider, and multi-tenant environments. Predictable throughput levels of up to 20 Gbps are achieved using dedicated, function-specific processing for networking, security, content inspection, and management.
PA 4000 Series
Deploy the PA-4060, PA-4050, or the PA-4020 on your network to safely enable applications, users, and content at throughput speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Dedicated, function-specific processing is used for networking, security, content inspection, and management to deliver predictable firewall performance.
PA 3000 Series
Safely enable applications, users, and content at throughput speeds of up to 4 Gbps using the PA-3050 or the PA-3020. Predictable, multi-Gbps performance is delivered via dedicated, function-specific processing for networking, security, content inspection, and management.
PA 2000 Series
Safely enable applications, users, and content at throughput speeds of up to 1 Gbps using the PA-2050 and the PA-2020. Dedicated computing resources for the functional areas of networking, security, content inspection, and management ensure predictable firewall performance.
PA 500
Use the PA-500 to safely enable applications, users, and content at throughput speeds of up to 250 Mbps. Dedicated computing resources for the functional areas of networking, security, content inspection, and management ensure predictable firewall performance.
PA 200
The PA-200 is a true desktop-size platform that safely enables applications, users, and content in your enterprise branch offices at throughput speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Dedicated computing resources for the functional areas of networking, security, content inspection, and management ensure predictable firewall performance.
VM Series
The Palo Alto Networks VM-Series features three virtualized next-generation firewall models – the VM-100, VM-200, and VM-300. These platforms are supported on the VMware ESXi 4.1, 5.0 and 5.5 platforms, and the Citrix NetScaler SDX 11500 and 17550 Series
