Management Platforms

Organizations that are deploying multiple firewalls need strong tools for centralized management and total visibility over network activity. Panorama from Palo Alto Networks provides centralized policy and device management over a network of next-generation firewalls

With central visibility over network traffic, Panorama provides the administrator with a complete view of application activity and security incidents across multiple firewalls. Administrative rights and responsibilities can be delegated to various team members, ensuring that there is a clean link between what a person can and should be able to do.

Panorama may be deployed on either a dedicated hardware appliance or as a virtual machine. In addition, Panorama can separate the management and log collection functions for high scalability requirements. Panorama provides organizations with the maximum flexibility for managing multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls in a distributed network environment.

	PA M-100 Organizations which prefer to deploy Panorama on high performance dedicated hardware, or would like to separate the Panorama management and logging functions for increased scale and performance, can use the M-100 hardware appliance to meet their needs.
	PA Virtual Appliance Panorama can be deployed as a virtual appliance on VMware ESX(i), allowing organizations to support their virtualization initiatives and consolidate rack space which is sometimes limited or costly in a data center.
