PA-4000 Series
The Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewall PA-4000 Series is comprised of three high performance platforms, the PA-4060, the PA-4050 and the PA-4020, all of which are targeted at high speed Internet gateway deployments within enterprise environments to ensure threat prevention and overall network security. The PA-4000 Series of enterprise firewalls manages multi-Gbps traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention, URL filtering and management. The Palo Alto Networks PA-4000 Series firewall's 10 Gbps backplane smoothes the pathway between processors, and the physical separation of data and control plane ensures that management access is always available, irrespective of the traffic load.
