Prisma Access Sizing Calculator
Estimate regions, resilience, throughput, remote network scale, and mobile user assumptions without leaving the website experience.
Answer First
What is Prisma Access sizing?
Prisma Access sizing estimates the mobile users, remote networks, service connections, bandwidth, regions, resilience, and logging assumptions needed for a stable SASE deployment. It turns business and network inputs into planning numbers that architects can validate before design sign-off.
Recommended approach
Size Prisma Access from user groups and application paths first, then validate bandwidth, regional placement, service connection capacity, logging volume, and resilience. Treat the calculator output as an architecture starting point that should be checked against live telemetry and Palo Alto Networks entitlement details.
Frequently asked
What inputs does Prisma Access sizing need?
Estimated mobile users by region, remote network count and bandwidth, service connections to private apps, and your resilience and logging requirements.
Is this calculator official Palo Alto Networks sizing?
No. It is a heuristic planning aid for architecture conversations; validate the output against live telemetry and Palo Alto Networks entitlement details before design sign-off.
How does Prisma Access scale for mobile users?
Prisma Access autoscales mobile user capacity per region. Plan for peak concurrency plus failover headroom rather than the named-user total, and size IP pools to match.

Recommendations and advisories
- Use regional onboarding zones and isolate high-bandwidth branches for review.
- Model user affinity and failover load at a regional level rather than as one aggregate.
- Plan multi-region connector pools with explicit spare capacity.
- Distribute service connections across hybrid estates and validate east-west dependencies.
- Thirty-day retention is a practical enterprise baseline for operations and investigations.
- Iframe-safe V1 embed: This route is optimized for iframe embedding so the logic stays local, fast, and operationally simple.
- Multi-region deployment recommended: The current heuristic score suggests a multi-region posture for resilience and maintenance headroom.
- Mixed deployment complexity is elevated: Combined mobile, branch, ZTNA, and service assumptions are useful for planning but should be broken down during detailed design.
