PA-7000 series is the next hardware in pipe?

[mikand]

Watching the latest video from Palo Alto Networks found at:

What's in the Box?: A Behind-the-scenes Look at the Next-Generation Firewall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcPWMyne2a8

one can see at frames close to the 00:30 mark:

a code-snippet that says:

"

if self.platform in ['7000']:

"

is this a preview of upcoming hardware or is this just wishful thinking? 😉

I've heard about 7000 series but not any information....maybe that mark is true....

Dude nice catch! That's awesome. Guess they might want to re-think showing code that might give away future products

That does look like python code (notice the try: assertion... that's a classic python use case), and I believe a lot of the PA code is python based (I know for a fact their custom shell they run on their boxes is python driven, I've seen exceptions thrown that are python exceptions)

So any news yet on PA-7000, PANOS 6.0, Panorama 6.0, Wildfire able to inspect dll, ms office, pdf and java files incl android stuff and other wishful thinking? 🙂

Nothing official, but some of your wishes will become true 😉

Glad to see the improvement of Wildfire which now also covers office-documents, java and pdf-files.

Now lets see if/when PA-7000 will submerge 🙂

[ExclusiveNetworksGermany]

When it's done 😉

Looking forward to tomorrows rollout webcast for more detail on the hardware architecture.

edit:

Looks like the documentation is out:

PA-7050 Hardware Reference Guide (English)

[pulukas]

Well the docs do a better job in the details on how this works, but the webcast is up on YouTube.

this page collects all the information in one place on the new chassis platform.
