PA-4000 Series Enterprise Firewall
The Palo Alto Networks 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. The PA-4000 Series manages multi-Gbps traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management. A 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.
