🔐
High-Capacity VPN
4.4 Gbps IPSec VPN throughput and 2,048 tunnel support makes the PA-3260 suitable as a high-capacity VPN hub for large distributed enterprises.
🛡️
Hardware-Accelerated Security
Dedicated security processing hardware ensures full IPS, URL filtering, SSL decryption, and WildFire analysis run simultaneously without throughput degradation.
💡
Bridge to PA-5000 Series
The PA-3260 bridges the gap between the PA-3220/3250 enterprise models and the PA-5000 Series data centre firewalls — ideal for large HQ gateways.
About the Palo Alto PA-3260
The Palo Alto PA-3260 (PAN-PA-3260) is the flagship model of the PA-3200 Series, delivering 7.5 Gbps of ML-Powered NGFW throughput in a 2U chassis. With 4 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput, 2,200,000 concurrent sessions, and 4 × 40G QSFP+ uplinks, the PA-3260 is designed for large enterprise internet gateways handling significant traffic volumes.
The PA-3260 shares the same physical form factor as the PA-3220 and PA-3250, but adds 40G QSFP+ uplinks for high-speed core connectivity, making it the natural choice for organisations connecting the firewall directly to 40G enterprise core switches or aggregation layers.
