Palo Alto Networks Deployment in Loughborough
Deploying Palo Alto Networks firewalls for Loughborough 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

Working in Loughborough
East Midlands
Loughborough punches well above its size on research and sports technology, and spin-outs from the university are a recurring source of work that starts as a prototype and needs to become a product.
University spin-outs and sports technology firms make up much of the work, usually turning a working prototype into something robust enough for customers.

Palo Alto Networks Deployment in Loughborough — 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 Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Loughborough businesses do you usually work with?
- University spin-outs and sports technology firms make up much of the work, usually turning a working prototype into something robust enough for customers. Beyond that we work across Sports Technology, Higher Education, Engineering and Research & Development.
- Do you cover the areas around Loughborough?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Leicester, Nottingham, Derby. Loughborough is an urban area of roughly 60,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
