Datasheet for Palo Alto Networks PA-5200 Series firewalls, detailing security features, performance, networking, and hardware specs.
The PA-5200 Series includes the PA-5260, PA-5250, and PA-5220 next-generation firewalls, designed for high-speed deployments. They deliver up to 72 Gbps throughput and support advanced security features like App-ID, User-ID, and SSL decryption. Hardware specs include multiple interface types, redundant power supplies, and rack-mountable designs.
The series runs on PAN-OS, which classifies traffic by application, user, and content to enforce security policies. Networking features include L2/L3 routing, IPv6 support, and high availability modes. Storage and power options are specified for each model, with the PA-5260 supporting up to 2TB HDD for log storage.
