PA-2000 Series Firewall
The Palo Alto Networks 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. The PA-2000 Series manages network traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management. A high speed backplane smoothes the pathway between processors and the separation of data and control plane ensures that management access is always available, irrespective of the traffic load.

"The days when port = protocol = application are behind us. An increasing percentage of enterprise network traffic is being funneled through a few well-known ports, more port-hopping or dynamic application content, such as Web 2.0. In many cases, traffic is being encrypted."
