Integrate Palo Alto Networks NGFWs with Prisma SD-WAN data centers and Prisma SD-WAN
devices at branch locations for advanced security and SD-WAN capabilities into a unified
platform.
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 Prisma
SD-WAN 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.
