Seamless Firewall Transformation: Coventry Group Migrates to Palo Alto Networks with Oreta

Coventry Group Ltd is a long-standing Australian company specialising in the supply of industrial products and services. With a history dating back to 1929, the company serves a wide range of industries including manufacturing, mining, construction, and automotive. Headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, Coventry Group operates an extensive network of branches and distribution centres across Australia and New Zealand, delivering high-quality products and expert technical support to customers across the region.

Challenges

Coventry Group faced multiple challenges stemming from its legacy network infrastructure, particularly in the areas of security, performance, and scalability. As the organisation continued to evolve and grow, the limitations of its existing firewall system became increasingly apparent. To meet future business needs and maintain a strong security posture, Coventry Group required a complete migration of its firewall configuration to the Palo Alto Networks platform. The migration needed to be executed with precision to avoid operational disruption and ensure continuity of business-critical services.

Solution

Oreta managed the end-to-end firewall migration, leveraging Palo Alto Networks’ Expedition migration tool to simplify and accelerate the process. This tool allowed for the efficient extraction and transformation of the legacy firewall configurations to meet Palo Alto’s architecture and policy standards. The migration involved reformatting and validating the configuration before importing it into the new firewall hardware. Custom device settings were also applied to optimise performance and align with Coventry Group’s security requirements. Beyond the technical execution, Oreta provided extensive post-migration support, including proactive monitoring, validation of security policies, and performance tuning, to ensure the network environment remained stable, secure, and resilient.

Outcome

The migration to the Palo Alto Networks platform resulted in clear operational and security improvements for Coventry Group:

  • Seamless and efficient transition with minimal impact on day-to-day operations
  • Enhanced threat prevention, traffic visibility, and network performance
  • Carefully managed migration process ensured uninterrupted business continuity
  • Ongoing support and monitoring delivered a secure, stable, and future-ready network environment
