PA-505 desktop firewall with 128 GB storage

The Palo Alto Networks PA-505 is a desktop next-generation firewall appliance that integrates Precision AI for real-time threat prevention. It delivers firewall throughput of 1.2 Gbps and threat-prevention throughput of .8 Gbps in an appmix profile. The unit supports up to 64K concurrent sessions and 10K new sessions per second while drawing a maximum of 23W from a 100-240 VAC supply.

Suited for small offices needing AI-driven security

Organisations that require a compact, low-power appliance with Zero Touch Provisioning and high-availability options will fit this model into branch or remote sites. Buyers who need higher throughput for data-centre workloads or larger session tables should evaluate other platforms. The fixed desktop form factor also limits rack-mount flexibility for dense cabinet deployments.

Bundled capabilities simplify operations

Zero Touch Provisioning automates initial configuration so the device can be shipped directly to a site without pre-staging. Active/active and active/passive high-availability modes are included, enabling resilience without extra licences. The single-pass architecture ensures that enabling security subscriptions does not degrade the quoted throughput figures. SD-WAN path-quality measurement and bandwidth monitoring are built in for link optimisation.

Questions about this item

What power source is required for the PAN-PA-505 to operate?

The unit accepts 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz with a maximum draw of 2 A at 12 VDC and 23 W peak consumption.

Can the PA-505 pass traffic through a legacy switch that only supports L2 mode?

Yes, the appliance supports L2, L3, tap and virtual wire modes, so it can operate inline with a pure Layer 2 switch.

How do I verify the firewall is processing traffic at the rated 1.2 Gbps appmix throughput?

Monitor the dashboard for the firewall throughput (appmix) metric; it should approach 1.2 Gbps under typical mixed-application load.
