Key Features

Everything you need in one device

2× PA-5220 Throughput

35 Gbps vs 15 Gbps — the PA-5250 doubles the firewall throughput of the PA-5220 in the same 3U chassis, serving the most demanding enterprise data centre gateway requirements.

🤖

ML-Powered Threat Prevention

19 Gbps Threat Prevention throughput ensures full IPS, URL filtering, and WildFire analysis at near-line rate — even across multiple 10G or 40G interfaces simultaneously.

📊

8M Session Capacity

Supports 8,000,000 concurrent sessions — double the PA-5220 — handling large data centre environments with high numbers of long-lived connections.

🔌

100G QSFP28 Uplinks

4 × 40G/100G QSFP28 uplinks connect directly to 100G data centre spine or aggregation switches — providing maximum bandwidth for the most demanding environments.

About the Palo Alto PA-5250

The Palo Alto PA-5250 (PAN-PA-5250) delivers 35 Gbps of ML-Powered NGFW throughput in the same 3U chassis as the PA-5220, with double the performance, double the session capacity, and 100G QSFP28 uplinks. It is designed for high-traffic enterprise data centre internet edges and internal segmentation deployments where the PA-5220's capacity is insufficient.

Note: The PA-5250 is end-of-sale. Current-generation replacements include the PA-5430 (82 Gbps) and PA-5440 (90 Gbps). Servnet can provide support renewals and upgrade quotes.
