What is the maximum App-ID throughput for the PA-7050?

The maximum App-ID throughput for the PA-7050 is indeed 420Gbps. This figure represents the performance capability of the PA-7050 firewall in terms of application identification and classification traffic processing. App-ID is a crucial feature of Palo Alto Networks' security appliances, allowing them to recognize and control applications instead of merely relying on port and protocol numbers.

By achieving a throughput of 420Gbps, the PA-7050 can handle a substantial amount of simultaneous application traffic, which is essential for high-demand environments such as large enterprise data centers. This capability allows organizations to maintain high levels of security without compromising the performance of their network infrastructure. In high-throughput scenarios, such as those encountered in large corporate networks, this high level of App-ID throughput enables rapid identification and right-sizing of security policies for numerous applications, thus maintaining operational efficiency and security compliance.

In contrast to the other options, which represent lower throughput capabilities, the 420Gbps figure reinforces the capabilities of the PA-7050 as a robust solution for extensive network operations where performance and security both play critical roles.
