Managing remote network capacity using aggregate bandwidth licensing is complex, often requiring difficult resource estimation and manual redundancy configuration across compute regions. Prisma® Access 6.0 introduces site-based licensing for Remote Networks, enhancing flexibility and simplifying deployment for branch sites. This licensing model allows you to allocate your sites with predefined bandwidth capacities, ranging from 25 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. By moving away from aggregate bandwidth-based licensing, you can more easily estimate and allocate resources for your remote sites.

With site-based licensing, you no longer need to pre-allocate bandwidth to specific Prisma Access compute regions or configure redundancy manually. This approach reduces complexity in network planning and provides a more straightforward way to manage and scale your branch sites.

Using this model, you can focus on the number and types of sites needed rather than estimating total bandwidth consumption across your network.

Site-based licensing in Prisma Access aligns better with your organizational structure and growth plans, providing a more intuitive and scalable approach to securing and connecting your branch sites. This licensing model aims to enhance your experience in deploying and managing Prisma Access, offering greater control and efficiency in resource allocation across your distributed network infrastructure.

Additionally, a simplified onboarding workflow for Prisma Access further reduces complexity by accelerating remote network setup.
