Palo Alto Networks Deployment in Aberdeen

Deploying Palo Alto Networks firewalls for Aberdeen organisations, where the headline throughput is not the number to size against. Enabling threat prevention reduces it substantially and decryption reduces it again, so a device chosen on its datasheet figure can be comfortably undersized once the features you bought it for are switched on.

Why this comes up

The problem

The firewall was sized on datasheet throughput and struggles once inspection is enabled.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Sizing based on throughput with your intended features enabled, not the headline figure
  • Decryption impact modelled, since this is the heaviest single addition
  • Actual traffic volumes measured rather than estimated from connection counts
  • Growth allowed for, as replacing an undersized device is expensive and disruptive
  • High availability configured where an outage would be material
  • Policy built application-aware from the start rather than migrated as port rules

Palo Alto Networks Deployment in Aberdeen — common questions

How much does inspection reduce throughput?
Considerably, and it varies by feature. Threat prevention costs a substantial proportion of the raw figure and decryption costs more again, so the number to size against is the one measured with your intended configuration rather than the one on the front of the datasheet.
Is decryption worth the capacity?
Where inspection genuinely matters, yes — most traffic is encrypted, so a device not decrypting is inspecting very little. It carries privacy and legal considerations alongside the performance cost, and both belong in the decision rather than only the second.
How should traffic be measured?
From what your current device reports, at peak rather than average. Sizing against average throughput produces a firewall that struggles exactly when the business is busiest, which is the moment nobody wants to discover it.
Why build application-aware policy immediately?
Because migrating port rules and intending to improve them later rarely happens. The deployment is the natural opportunity to write policy the way the platform expects, and doing it then costs a fraction of returning to it once the rules are established.
Do you work with businesses across Aberdeenshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Aberdeen and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Aberdeen businesses do you usually work with?
Energy supply chain systems with rigorous documentation, and asset and compliance tracking for offshore operations. Beyond that we work across Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Marine, Higher Education and Food & Fishing.
Do you cover the areas around Aberdeen?
Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Dundee, Inverness, Edinburgh. Aberdeen is an urban area of roughly 200,000+, and we take on work across the wider Aberdeenshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
