High-performance branches (HP-RNs) exist with legacy branches in your tenant and
provide numerous benefits.
High-performance branches (HP-RNs)coexist
with legacy branches in your tenant. High-performance branch sites in Prisma Access
have the following benefits:
The HP-RN architecture addresses capacity efficiencies by separating network
processing functions from security processing functions. An ION device with
large packet-processing ability terminates multiple branch connections with
up to 5-Gbps capacity and distributes the security processing to SPNs.
You can use a single IP or FQDN to terminate multiple branches in the region to
a single network processing node.
You no longer have to monitor and manage the termination of branch sites to
IPSec termination nodes. Suitable SPNs carry out branch traffic inspection, and
the NPN performs load balancing.
You can attain true high availability by being able to specify different regions
for redundancy.
