Key Features
Everything you need in one device
🤖
ML-Powered NGFW
Inline machine learning in the firewall core prevents zero-day threats in real time, complemented by WildFire cloud sandbox analysis for unknown file types.
📊
2M Session Capacity
Double the concurrent sessions of the PA-3220 — the PA-3250 comfortably handles large enterprise environments with many simultaneous users and applications.
🔌
High Port Density
12 × GE RJ45 + 8 × 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ in the same 2U form factor as the PA-3220, which instead has 4 × 1G SFP and 4 × 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ ports.
🔐
VPN Capacity
2.6 Gbps IPSec VPN with support for 2,048 site-to-site tunnels — enabling the PA-3250 to function as a high-capacity VPN concentrator.
🛡️
Comprehensive Threat Prevention
IPS, anti-malware, DNS Security, URL Filtering, and WildFire — running simultaneously in a single hardware-accelerated pass for maximum performance.
About the Palo Alto PA-3250
The Palo Alto PA-3250 (PAN-PA-3250) is the mid-tier model in the PA-3200 Series, delivering 5 Gbps of ML-Powered NGFW throughput and 2.5 Gbps of Threat Prevention with 2,000,000 concurrent sessions. It shares the PA-3220's 2U form factor and management ports, making it a natural step up for organisations that have outgrown the PA-3220's capacity.
The PA-3250 is ideal for large enterprise internet gateways handling thousands of concurrent users, or for organisations requiring higher session capacity for long-lived connections. Its 12 × GE RJ45 and 8 × 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ ports give it more 10G-capable ports than the PA-3220 (4 × 1G SFP + 4 × 1G/10G SFP/SFP+). Its dedicated networking, security, and management processing planes maintain consistent performance even when running full SSL/TLS decryption alongside IPS, URL filtering, and WildFire analysis.
