Palo Alto Networks

Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls enable enterprises to identify and control applications, users, and content—not just ports, IP addresses, and packets—using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. These identification technologies allow enterprises to securely enable application usage using business-relevant concepts, instead of following the traditional "all-or-nothing" approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls used in many security infrastructures.

Palo Alto Networks has built a next-generation firewall with several innovative technologies—enabling organizations to fix the firewall. These technologies bring business-relevant elements (applications, users, and content) under policy control on a high performance firewall architecture. This technology runs on a high-performance, purpose-built platform based on Palo Alto Networks' Single-Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) Architecture. Unique to the SP3 Architecture, traffic is only examined once, using hardware with dedicated processing resources for security, networking, content scanning and management to provide line-rate, low-latency performance under load.

PA-5000 Series

The PA-5000 Series of next-generation firewalls is designed to protect data centers, large enterprise Internet gateways, and service provider environments where traffic demands dictate predictable firewall and threat prevention throughput. These high performance platforms are tailor-made to provide enterprise firewall protection at throughput speeds of up to 20 Gbps. Ideally suited for both datacenter and service provider deployments, the PA-5000 Series is powered by more than 40 processors distributed across four functional areas: networking, security, content inspection and management.

PA-4000 Series

The PA-4000 Series is comprised of three high performance next-generation firewall platforms, the PA-4060, the PA-4050 and the PA-4020, all of which are ideally suited for high speed Internet gateway deployments within enterprise environments. These high performance platforms are tailor made to provide enterprise firewall protection at throughput speeds of up to 10 Gbps using dedicated processing for networking, security, content inspection and management.

PA-2000 Series

The PA-2000 Series is comprised of two high performance platforms, the PA-2020 and the PA-2050, both of which are ideally suited for high speed Internet gateway deployments within large branch offices and medium sized enterprises to ensure network security and threat prevention. The PA-2000 Series delivers next-generation firewall security using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention, URL filtering and management.
