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. The Palo Alto Networks PA-4000 Series uses a 10 Gbps backplane to smooth 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.
