Paloalto Network PA-2000 Series


The Palo Alto Networks PA-2000 Series is comprised of two high performance platforms, the PA-2020 and the PA-2050, both of which are ideally suited for high speed Internet gateway deployments within large branch offices and medium sized enterprises. The PA-2000 Series manages network traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management. A high speed backplane smoothes the pathway between processors and the separation of data and control plane ensures that management access is always available, irrespective of the traffic load.
