The Palo Alto Networks PA-2000 Series is comprised of two high performance platforms, the PA-2020 and the PA-2050, both of which are targeted at high speed Internet gateway deployments. The PA-2000 Series manages network traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management.

A high speed backplane smoothes the pathway between dedicated processors, and the separation of data and control plane ensures that management access is always available, irrespective of the traffic load. Interface density for the PA-2020 and the PA-2050 is unmatched with up to 20 traffic interfaces and dedicated out-of-band management interfaces.

The controlling element of the PA-2000 Series next-generation firewalls is PAN-OSTM, a security-specific operating system that tightly integrates three unique identification technologies: App-IDTM, User-ID and Content-ID, with key firewall, networking, VPN and management features.
