Palo Alto Networks K2-Series Primary Use Case
The existing solution is primarily provided for cloud vendors or cloud customers who typically request an external firewall for various scenarios. For these cases, I provide this same cloud-based solution. They often want third-party solutions, and we cater to those needs for our customers.

I support the Palo Alto firewall that is already installed. We have the Palo Alto in the data center, and we just have to put access within most various VLANs and permit some type of service or access.

View full review »We have eight VFDs. We have the bigger firewalls. I forget the model number but they're the bigger ones. We have smaller ones—the 220s— so we have a pretty good range of Palo Alto firewalls that we use in our company.

We primarily use the solution for protection, especially web protection.
View full review »We are a system integrator and the Palo Alto K2-Series is one of the network solutions that we implement for our clients.
Many of the implementations that I am part of are for the banking sector in Egypt and generally, they are not interested in cloud-based solutions. The K2-Series is well-suited for this use case.
View full review »The primary use for this solution depends on the preference of a customer and to some extent their existing environment.
We have to establish things like:
- what are the business requirements
- how we can utilize what is existing or if the client needs to upgrade equipment
- what kind of servers do we put in
- what kind of servers does he have on cloud
- what kind of servers do we have on-premises
So it all depends on the customer's requirements. If a query comes up with a client, I am happy to answer that and provide a resolution but the situation needs to consider specific needs.
The solution was a firewall that bridged the internal systems with their DMC equipment and/or restricted systems access that wasn't generally available to anyone outside of the organization.
