About the Palo Alto Networks PA-3250 Firewall

The Palo Alto Networks PA-3250 Firewall is a compact 1U rack-mount security appliance engineered for mid-market and enterprise edge deployments. It delivers 12 copper Ethernet ports (1G SFP) and 4 high-speed ports (10G SFP+), providing flexible LAN/WAN connectivity in a space-efficient form factor ideal for data centers with strict rack density requirements. Network engineers and IT procurement teams benefit from its balanced performance across multiple security functions without sacrificing port density or physical footprint.

Built by Palo Alto Networks, the PAN-PA-3250 combines robust threat prevention with encrypted traffic inspection. It sustains 5.2 Gbps of firewall throughput with App-ID enabled, 2.6 Gbps of threat prevention throughput, and 1.7 Gbps of SSL/TLS decryption throughput—enabling organizations to enforce security policies across encrypted channels. The appliance supports up to 4,000 IPsec VPN tunnels with 3.8 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, and accommodates 10,000 concurrent GlobalProtect (SSL/TLS) VPN users. Session capacity reaches 2,000,000 maximum sessions with 62,000 new sessions per second, ensuring stable performance under sustained connection loads. Dual redundant AC power supplies (100–240 VAC input, 170 W maximum consumption) and a 240 GB SSD provide operational reliability. The appliance operates across 0°C to 40°C and 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity, meeting standard enterprise environmental requirements.
