Purpose-built network security appliance

The Palo Alto Networks PA-560 is a next-generation firewall designed for enterprise branch offices and mid-sized organisations that require integrated threat prevention and SD-WAN capabilities in a single 1U form factor. It delivers firewall throughput of 8.5 Gbps and threat prevention throughput of 6.0 Gbps with a single-pass architecture. The unit includes 16 RJ45 ports, four 1G SFP ports and four 1G/10G SFP+ ports for flexible connectivity.

Suited for consolidated branch security.

This appliance fits teams that need up to 598K concurrent sessions and 100K new sessions per second with support for five virtual systems. Organisations requiring higher session counts, greater virtual system density or throughput beyond 8.5 Gbps should evaluate larger platforms. The 106 W maximum power draw and 100-240 VAC input suit standard office power infrastructure.

The 240 GB onboard storage capacity

This fixed storage amount determines how much log data, packet captures and local reports the device can retain before offloading to external collectors. Buyers planning extensive local retention or high-volume logging should verify that 240 GB meets their compliance window before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does the PA-560 draw when running continuously at full load?

Maximum power consumption is 106 W from a 100-240 VAC supply rated at 50-60 Hz.

Which cables or modules must I already have to use the 16 RJ45 and 8 SFP/SFP+ ports on this appliance?

You need Cat5e or better copper patch cords for the 16 1G RJ45 ports and compatible 1G or 10G SFP/SFP+ transceivers with fibre or direct-attach cables for the 8 SFP/SFP+ cages.

Will the PA-560 fit in the same 1U rack space as my older PA-500 unit and share the same AC circuit?

Yes, it occupies 1.74 inches of height (1U), measures 12.1 inches deep and draws up to 106 W from a standard 100-240 VAC circuit.
