Palo Alto Networks Virtualized Firewalls

VM-Series Virtualized Firewalls

As your organization embraces virtualization and cloud initiatives, security is a critical consideration. Security must deliver the appropriate levels of visibility, safe application enablement and threat protection necessary without compromising agility. Unfortunately, traditional network security solutions can be slow to deploy and provision in virtualized and cloud environments and are often implemented with limited feature sets.

The VM-Series extends safe application enablement to virtualized and cloud environments using the same PAN-OSTM feature set that is available in physical security appliances. The core of the VM-Series is the next-generation firewall which natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user—in other words, the business elements that run the business— are then used as the basis of an organization’s security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time.

The VM-Series is based on a Single Pass software architecture to minimize latency. Operations such as application identification and decoding and signature matching for all threats and content, networking functions, and policy lookup, are executed once to optimize performance. The management and data plane are separated, with dedicated CPUs assigned to each plane to ensure that management access is always available, irrespective of traffic loads.

The VM-Series virtualized next-generation firewall platforms are supported on the VMware ESXi 4.1, 5.0 and 5.5 platforms, and the Citrix NetScaler SDX 11500 and 17550 Series.
