SovTech Consulting · Palo Alto Networks

Palo Alto firewalls that fail over the way you expect.

SovTech Consulting designs, migrates and troubleshoots Palo Alto Networks environments, including Panorama-managed estates, for organizations where the firewall sits in the critical path of routing, NAT and failover.

Problems we are brought in to solve

Most firewall trouble is not the firewall. It is how the firewall interacts with routing, NAT and the sites around it.

Failover that breaks live sessions

Traffic shifts to another site, return traffic does not follow, and a stateful firewall drops the session.

Routing and NAT that disagree

BGP peering with firewalls, NAT zones and shared address pools that decide which prefixes are advertised from where.

Panorama drift

Templates, device groups and policy that no longer match what is actually deployed, which makes every change risky.

Cutovers without a safety net

Moving to new firewalls or new paths with no rehearsal and no tested back-out.

How we work

Every engagement follows the same four steps, so you always know what comes next.

01

Assess

Current traffic flows, routing, NAT and the failure scenarios that matter.

02

Design

Zones, routing, policy and the exact failover behavior you want.

03

Validate in a lab

The design is built and every failure case is tested before production.

04

Cut over and document

A change guide, a back-out plan and a clean handoff.

What you receive

  • Failure-scenario matrix showing the expected path for every failure case
  • Lab-validated configuration and step-by-step change guide
  • Back-out procedure for each change window
  • Documentation your own team can maintain
A conversation, not a ticket

Bring us the failover that worries you.

Describe the environment and the failure you are concerned about, and we will tell you how we would approach it.
