Monitor Your Prisma Access Data Transfer Usage

Understand the data in the Panorama > Cloud Services > Status > Data Transfer tab in Prisma Access (Panorama Managed).
You can view data transfer statistics for your mobile users, remote networks, and Clean Pipe deployments using the Data Transfer tab (PanoramaCloud ServicesStatusData Transfer). This tab appears if you have the Prisma Access Edition licenses that became available after November 2020. If you have a legacy license that was available before November 2020, this tab does not display.
Prisma Access tracks this usage in a one-year period, starting with the date that you activate your license.
Prisma Access tracks your data transfer for mobile users, remote networks, and Clean Pipe per unit, and tracks the data starting on the date of your license activation. Units are based on the type of Prisma Access license you have; for mobile users, a unit is one mobile user and for remote networks, a unit is 1 Mbps.
Prisma Access allocates 250 GB of data for each unit per year, starting on the date of your license activation. If you have a license with multiple types of Prisma Access deployments, Prisma Access combines the units for all licenses you have to determine the maximum amount of data you can transfer during a 1 year period. The following table provides examples of the data transfer limit by license type and units purchased.
If you have a multitenant deployment, data transfer across all tenants must add up to the total data transfer limit based on the allocated units in your license.
