Why upgrade from PA-3060 to PA-3410
The PA-3400 Series represents a generational leap in firewall architecture, delivering ML-powered security and significantly higher throughput compared to the legacy PA-3000 platform.
ML-powered inline security
PA-3000 series cannot run the latest ML-powered security services effectively. PA-3410 handles deep learning inline for real-time threat prevention.
Significant throughput increase
PA-3410 delivers 14.5 Gbps firewall throughput, a major leap from legacy PA-3000 performance levels.
10G fiber connectivity
PA-3410 includes 10G SFP+ fiber ports, supporting high-speed campus and data center interconnects.
1RU compact form factor
PA-3410 provides greater performance density in a standard 1RU rackmount design.
