🤖
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.
