About the Palo Alto Networks PA-5250 Next-Generation Firewall

Active/active and active/passive failover modes with sub-second session and configuration synchronization are non-negotiable in production environments, and the Palo Alto Networks PA-5250 delivers exactly that architecture. This 2U rack-mount appliance combines enterprise-grade throughput with massive session capacity: 64 Gbps firewall throughput with App-ID enabled, 27 Gbps threat prevention throughput, 21 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, and 16.6 Gbps SSL/TLS inspection throughput. The PA-5250 maintains 64 million concurrent sessions and processes 360,000 new sessions per second, supporting up to 250,000 security policies across its port array of 4 x 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces, 8 x 40GbE QSFP+ interfaces, 12 x 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, 12 x 1GbE SFP interfaces, and 4 x 1GbE RJ45 management ports. Dual redundant AC power supplies ensure continuous operation, with a maximum power consumption of 1,250 W and an operating temperature range of 0°C to 45°C.

Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams select the PA-5250 when data center security cannot tolerate performance bottlenecks or availability gaps. Organizations deploying Palo Alto Networks security ecosystems across multiple sites benefit from support for up to 225 virtual systems (VSYS), routing protocols including OSPFv2/v3, BGP, RIP, and static routing, plus centralized management through Panorama, Web UI, CLI, and REST API. The appliance weighs approximately 55 lb (24.9 kg) and fits standard rack dimensions of 3.46 in height x 17.32 in width x 29 in depth, making it compatible with existing infrastructure footprints in colocation and enterprise data centers.

Omnixon Global stocks the PA-5250 (part number PA-5250) and delivers the enterprise-class support and technical expertise that large-scale deployments require. For pricing, detailed specifications, or custom configuration guidance, submit a request for quotation through Omnixon Global today.
