You can manage each firewall independently with PAN-OS or several firewalls centrally with the Panorama™ management server.

PAN-OS is the software that runs all Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. By leveraging the key technologies that are built into PAN‑OS natively—App‑ID, Content‑ID, Device-ID, and User‑ID—you can have complete visibility and control of the applications in use across all users and devices in all locations all the time. And, because inline ML and the application and threat signatures automatically reprogram your firewall with the latest intelligence, you can be assured that all traffic you allow is free of known and unknown threats.

Use Panorama to manage all your firewalls irrespective of where they are: at the perimeter, in a data center or in the cloud. Use APIs and Dynamic Address Groups help you automate policy workflows that adapt to changes, such as additions, moves or deletions of servers. You can deploy Panorama as a virtual or physical appliance, or both, and use it only as a manager or Log Collector, or as both. When required, you can use Panorama Interconnect to scale your single pane of glass to tens of thousands of firewalls.
