You can now integrate the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls with
Prisma® SD-WAN at the data centers. This
integration enables Prisma SD-WAN
devices at branch locations to connect to a unified data center platform. It
addresses challenges with traditional networks that rely on separate appliances
for security and SD-WAN, that often lead to complexity, inconsistent policies,
and limited adaptability to cloud demands, ultimately impacting user experience
and productivity.
With SD-WAN capabilities, data centers establish secure tunnels with branch
devices, enabling traffic steering based on SD-WAN policy rules while delivering
advanced security features.
This integrated data center solution provides the following benefits:
- delivers advanced security and SD-WAN capabilities in a single streamlined
offering.
- combines the strengths of Prisma SD-WAN's advanced networking capabilities
and PAN-OS's robust security features, delivering a comprehensive and secure
SD-WAN solution.
- ensures uninterrupted connectivity between branch locations and data
centers. Traffic is intelligently routed across the WAN, optimizing
performance based on application requirements, network conditions, and
Security policy rules.
- simplifies operations and enhances overall efficiency through a unified
platform, Strata Cloud Manager.
Overall, this integration addresses the challenges of network complexity,
security integration, performance optimization, and operational efficiency that
many enterprises face as they evolve their WANs.
You need the following licenses for integrating Palo Alto Networks NGFW with
Prisma SD-WAN data center:
- Advanced SD-WAN license for the next-generation firewalls.
- Prisma SD-WAN branch ION subscriptions for the ION devices.
