Eliminate Bottlenecks with AI-Driven Data Center Security

The Palo Alto Networks PA-5570 delivers data center–grade protection without sacrificing performance. Built on single-pass architecture and powered by Precision AI, it inspects traffic at Layer 7 while maintaining predictable throughput for demanding east–west and internet edge workloads.

Key Benefits & Features

The PA-5570 brings high throughput, advanced visibility, and resilient operations to enterprise cores and service provider edges.

300 Gbps AppMix Throughput with Single-Pass Processing

Process networking, policy lookup, application decoding, and content inspection in a single pass to reduce latency and keep performance consistent—even with full security services enabled. The PA-5570 is rated for 300 Gbps firewall throughput and 240 Gbps Threat Prevention throughput (AppMix.

PQC-Ready Decryption and VPN

Move toward quantum-safe operations with PAN-OS 12.1 support for PQC SSL/TLS decryption and PQC site-to-site VPN using NIST algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA, plus additional experimental schemes. A PCIe slot is provided for future PQ capabilities.

High Availability with NGFW Clustering

Achieve horizontal scale and high resilience via NGFW clustering (active/active data plane and traditional HA. Clustering optimizes resources while maintaining a highly available posture for mission-critical networks.

Deep Application and User Controls

App-ID and full Layer 7 inspection accurately identify applications on any port or encryption method; User-ID and identity integrations enforce consistent, least-privilege policies across users and locations.

Unified, AI-Powered Management

Administer policies and operations through Strata Cloud Manager and Strata Copilot to detect anomalies, optimize policy sets, and proactively resolve issues across NGFW, SASE, and security services.

Ideal Use Cases

• Enterprise data centers consolidating NGFW, decryption, and Threat Prevention at scale.
• Internet gateways requiring predictable high throughput and advanced policy controls.
• Service providers and large campuses standardizing on clustered, horizontally scalable firewalls.
