Product Review

The Palo Alto PA-3220 firewall offers a solid throughput performance with 5 Gbps firewall throughput and 2.2 Gbps Threat Prevention throughput, catering well to medium-sized enterprise environments. However, its Threat Prevention throughput might be a limiting factor for organizations with high traffic needs requiring more intensive inspection. The hardware configuration is versatile, supporting a mix of up to 12 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and 8 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ ports, but the base model's limitation to a single virtual system, expandable to only six, may not suffice for businesses looking for more extensive virtualization capabilities.

Overview

The Palo Alto PA-3220 is designed to cater to businesses seeking advanced security measures and efficient network management. It stands out with a firewall throughput of 5 Gbps and a threat prevention throughput of 2.2 Gbps, ensuring rapid data processing and robust security against various threats. Additionally, its IPsec VPN throughput of 2.5 Gbps facilitates secure remote connections, making it an ideal solution for organizations with a dispersed workforce. A key feature of the PA-3220 is its capacity to handle up to 1,000,000 sessions simultaneously, with the ability to establish 58,000 new sessions per second. This capability ensures that the device can support high volumes of traffic without degradation in performance. The system supports a base of one virtual system, with the potential to expand up to six, providing flexibility and scalability to meet the evolving needs of businesses. In terms of connectivity, the PA-3220 offers a comprehensive range of I/O options: - Twelve 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports - Four 1G SFP ports - Four 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ ports For management and redundancy, it includes one out-of-band management port, two high availability ports, and one high availability port with 10G SFP+, alongside an RJ-45 console port and a Micro USB port. The device is equipped with a 240GB SSD for storage, ensuring fast access to logs and configurations. It operates on a redundant 650-watt AC or DC power supply, with average and maximum power consumption of 180W and 240W, respectively, and a maximum BTU/hr of 819.
