Key Features

Everything you need in one device

25% More Throughput vs PA-3220

5 Gbps vs 4 Gbps firewall throughput — the PA-3250 handles larger enterprise gateway deployments with headroom for traffic growth and full SSL/TLS decryption.

🤖

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 chassis as the PA-3220 — identical hardware platform making the PA-3250 a licence-key upgrade with zero cabling changes.

🔐

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 uses the same physical hardware platform as the PA-3220, making it an attractive upgrade for organisations that have outgrown the PA-3220's capacity without requiring hardware or cabling changes.

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. Sharing the same physical chassis as the PA-3220 (12 × GE RJ45 + 8 × 1G/10G SFP/SFP+), the PA-3250 can often be treated as a licence-based performance upgrade. 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.
