Palo Alto Networks Certified Integrations

Review the Palo Alto Networks certified partner interoperability index for VM-Series firewalls.
Review these lists to see the Palo Alto Networks certified partner products with which VM-Series firewalls can interoperate. The tables include details about hardware platforms and software versions on which you can deploy a VM-Series firewall.
The partner software version and the PAN-OS® version columns display the range of versions and the minimum version in parentheses. For example, if the PAN-OS Version column displays PAN-OS 10.1.x (10.1.4), then integration support begins with PAN-OS 10.1 but not until PAN-OS 10.1.4. and later PAN-OS versions.
