PA-3510
1U firewall with 15 Gbps of threat prevention in appmix and two 100 GbE interfaces.
Overview
The PA-3510 combines multigigabit copper and fibre interfaces in 1U, with six SFP 28 ports and two QSFP 28 uplinks. Its 15 Gbps threat prevention result and published capacity of 2 million sessions inform enterprise edge designs. It has a 960 GB SSD and redundant AC or DC power supplies. Performance figures are laboratory references under documented conditions; sizing considers the actual project workload and controls.
