PA-3260 Hardware EOL

[Ajay358]

PA-3260 EOL is August,2028 and I am planning ahead to transition to other model in the same category/series of firewalls. So far all PA on-prem firewall appliances are coming to an EOL by 2030. Is PA going to release newer models in the same category with EOL extended to 2035-40 may be ?

Is there post EOL support available for PA firewalls ?

Thank you

Hi @Ajay358 ,

So far all PA on-prem firewall appliances are coming to an EOL by 2030.

There are lots of on-prem firewall appliances that have not been announced EoL.  If you look at the Recommended Replacement column in this table https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/services/support/end-of-life-announcements/hardware-end-of-life-dat... you will see many PA-Series that have not been announced EoL.  For example, the recommended replacement for the PA-3200 is the PA-3400.

Thanks,

Tom
