About the Palo Alto PA-460

The Palo Alto PA-460 (PAN-PA-460) is the highest-performance model in the PA-400 Series, delivering 4.6 Gbps of ML-Powered NGFW throughput in the same compact, fanless desktop form factor as the PA-440 and PA-450. It is designed for large branch offices and high-density distributed enterprise environments that demand maximum throughput without moving to a rackmount appliance.

With 3.0 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput and 400,000 concurrent sessions, the PA-460 comfortably handles large branches of several hundred users while maintaining full security inspection including SSL/TLS decryption, IPS, URL filtering, DNS Security, and WildFire malware analysis.

The PA-460 supports dual redundant power supplies and Active/Passive or Active/Active high availability — providing the same resilience capabilities as larger 1U rackmount appliances in a desktop footprint. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) enables rapid deployment to remote locations without on-site engineering.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🏢

Large Branch Office

Handles large branches of 300+ users with full NGFW throughput — ideal where a rackmount appliance is impractical or undesired.

🏪

High-Traffic Retail

Silent fanless design with 4.6 Gbps throughput makes the PA-460 ideal for high-traffic retail environments requiring robust threat prevention.

🔐

VPN Hub or Spoke

2.3 Gbps IPSec VPN enables the PA-460 to function as a high-capacity VPN spoke or even a small hub in compact hub-and-spoke VPN architectures.

🔄

PA-850 Alternative

For deployments where a desktop form factor is preferred, the PA-460 offers comparable throughput to the PA-820 in a smaller, simpler package.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does the PA-460 compare to the PA-820?

The PA-460 delivers 4.6 Gbps firewall throughput in a fanless desktop vs the PA-820's 1.5 Gbps in a 1U rackmount. The PA-820 offers more physical interfaces (12×GE + 4×SFP + 2×SFP+). Choose the PA-460 for desktop deployments requiring maximum throughput; choose the PA-820 for higher port density.

Q. Does the PA-460 have redundant power?

Yes. The PA-460 includes dual redundant 50W power supplies — providing power resilience not common in desktop-class firewalls.
