L1 Bithead

Hi.

we are planning to replace/upgrade current PA3020 to a newer PA model.

could you please suggest which model is the best suitable with my requirement below?

thank you.

 

Current PA3020 Setup Info

- using 5 virtual routers

- using aggregate interfaces

- as Internet Gateway

- as small Data Center Gateway (AD, some storages and a few apps)

- around 500 users 

- the firewall interfaces will be connected to 2.5G or 10G interfaces at switch.

Hi @zinkt101 ,

 

The PA-1410 is a great replacement NGFW for the PA-3020.

 

  • 10 virtual routers
  • LACP
  • 3x threat prevention throughput of 3.2 Gbps
  • almost 1M max sessions
  • 2.5G and 10G interfaces

The PA-400 Series do not have 10G interfaces.  I would not purchase an older model.  The PA-1410 will have a longer life span.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

hi  Thank you for your suggestion. If I were to choose from the 1400 series, I would prefer the PA-1420 because it has 8 Ethernet interfaces with 2.5/5G capabilities, compared to the PA-1410 which only has 4 interfaces.

 

I have setup budget for PA3410 🙂

do you know how is the difference between PA 3400 series and PA1400 series.

Also, I found out that the PA-1420 can support only up to 1500 security rules.

 

this is the current usage of PA3020

 

- we don't use SSL decryption

- data plane status is Max 50 - 60%

- Max session is around 65000/250000

- security rules - 500 - 700/2500

- virtual router 6/10 with segmentation

thank you for your suggestions   

If I were chosen PA1400 series, I would choose PA1420 because it has eight 2.5/5 Gigabit ethernet interfaces compared to PA1410 which has only 4 interfaces.

I also found that PA1420 support only 1500 security policy rules which is too less compared to PA3410.

 

I have budget set for PA3410 🙂 

 

do you know what is the big difference between PA1400 series and PA3400 series.

 

the current PA3020 utilization is as below.

 

- we don't use SSL decryption

- data plane status is Max 50 - 60%

- Max session is around 65000/250000

- security rules - 500 - 700/2500

- virtual router 6/10 with segmentation

Hi @zinkt101 ,

 

The Product Selection tool is a great way to compare NGFWs -> https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/products/product-comparison?chosen=pa-3410,pa-1420,pa-3420.

 

It should highlight the main differences.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom
