Why upgrade from PA-200 to PA-440
The PA-400 Series is not an incremental update. It represents a complete architectural overhaul that addresses the performance and operational limitations of legacy branch firewalls.
30x throughput increase
The PA-200 maxes out at 100 Mbps of firewall throughput. The PA-440 delivers 3.0 Gbps, enabling full utilization of modern gigabit connections without security-imposed limitations.
Faster management operations
Policy commits and reboots on the PA-200 can take extended periods. The PA-440 features a modern quad-core processor that reduces commit times to seconds, improving operational efficiency.
Fanless, silent design
Like the PA-200, the PA-440 maintains a fanless desktop form factor suitable for open offices, retail locations, and healthcare environments where noise is a concern.
Redundant power option
Unlike the PA-200 single power supply, the PA-440 supports an optional redundant power supply, providing branch offices with enterprise-grade reliability and uptime.
