Palo Alto Networks PA-5450 - Base AC Hardware Bundle - security appliance

The Palo Alto Networks PA-5450 ML-Powered NextGeneration Firewall (NGFW) platform is designed for hyperscale data center, internet edge, and campus segmentation deployments. Delivering incredible performance - 120 Gbps with security services enabled - it is based on a scalable, modular design that enables you to increase performance as your needs increase. The PA-5450 offers simplicity defined by a single-system approach to management and licensing

The world's first ML-Powered NGFW enables you to prevent unknown threats, see and secure everything - including the Internet of Things (IoT) - and reduce errors with automatic policy recommendations. The controlling element of the PA-5450 is PAN-OS, the same software that runs all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats, and content, and then ties that traffic to the user regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user - in other words, the elements that run your business - then serve as the basis of your security policies, resulting in improved security posture and reduced incident response time.

The PA-5450 is powered by a scalable architecture for the purposes of applying the appropriate type and volume of processing power to the key functional tasks of networking, security, and management. The device is managed as a single unified system, enabling you to easily direct all available resources to protect your data. The PA-5450 intelligently distributes processing demands across three subsystems, each with massive amounts of computing power and dedicated memory: the Networking Cards (NC), the Data Processing Cards (DPC), and the Management Processing Card (MPC).
