Palo Alto VM-Series Next Generation Firewall

Virtualized Next-generation firewall that can be deployed in a range of public and private cloud computing environments
Value Proposition

Problem

The benefits of implementing cloud technologies include greater agility, scalability, and an ability to be more responsive to your business. The benefits are well known, but so too are the security challenges which are no different than those you face within your on-premise data center. These challenges include a lack of application visibility and control, an inability to prevent cyberattacks and cumbersome policy update processes that induce delays between workload deployment and security policy updates

Solution

The VM-Series is a virtualized form factor of our next-generation firewall that can be deployed in a range of public and private cloud computing environments based on technologies from VMware®, Amazon® Web Services, Microsoft®, Citrix® and KVM. The VM-Series supports the same next-generation firewall and advanced threat prevention features that are available in our security appliances, allowing you to protect your applications and data from the network to the cloud
