That would be a huge leap in performance for enterprises with hundreds to thousands of virtual software firewalls in their private cloud environments and for service providers that rely on firewalls to secure their large networks, Muninder Singh Sambi, Palo Alto’s senior VP of products, told DCK. The company will make its next-generation virtual firewalls run on Nvidia’s BlueField-2 DPU, promising a five-fold performance increase to enterprises and service providers. Palo Alto Networks, a heavyweight in the enterprise cybersecurity space, is jumping on the accelerator train.
