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 (). 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.
The Data Transfer page includes the following fields.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| MU Usage | The amount of mobile user data usage. This
data includes mobile user traffic for each type of mobile user deployment
(Mobile Users—GlobalProtect and Mobile Users—Explicit Proxy), and
includes both internal and internet traffic. |
| Net Usage | The amount of remote network data usage.
If you have a Clean Pipe deployment,
data usage is displayed here. This data includes both internal
and internet traffic. |
| Internet Traffic | Traffic sent and received from Prisma Access
to the internet, including all internet and public SaaS applications. Any
traffic sent from Mobile Users—GlobalProtect, Mobile Users—Explicit
Proxy, and Remote Networks to the internet, and all Explicit Proxy
traffic, displays in the Internet Traffic area. |
| Internal Traffic | Traffic that matches the following conditions:

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.

| 1,000 Mobile Users and Remote Networks | 250 Terabytes/Year (250 GB * 1,000 units) |
| 1,000 Mobile Users only | 250 Terabytes/Year (250 GB * 1,000 units) |
