Palo Alto Always-On Service

WorldTech IT’s Palo Alto Always-On offers comprehensive & sophisticated Palo Alto Networks^® support, ongoing professional services, maintenance, monitoring, emergency response, and 24 x 7 x 365 access to our team of Palo Alto-certified engineers.

We know fully managed services aren’t always the best fit. In fact many organizations prefer to maintain direct access to their devices, yet still require ongoing Palo Alto Networks support from specialized experts. If that sounds like you, look no further than WorldTech IT’s Always-On:

Always-On support — from scheduled upgrades and maintenance, to large project work, to emergency engagement… it’s all provided by our expert team of Palo Alto-certified & U.S.-based engineers. That support now extends to Prisma Access Prisma Access services such as ZTNA, Cloud SWG, and ADEM. WorldTech IT support is not outsourced or subcontracted; the buck stops here with us.

AOS credits can be used for any Palo Alto Networks project work & general assistance for all things Palo Alto Networks-related. We’ll even service vendor solutions that complement your Palo Alto Networks, such as F5 (for application security & delivery), Arista (for cloud-first networking), and Red Hat (for enterprise open source).

It’s a great service for Palo Alto Networks customers of all sizes, giving small teams the support they need to consume complex capabilities (such as Threat Prevention, GlobalProtect, WildFire) and enabling large teams to augment their efforts with Palo Alto Networks expertise.

All of this is provided without the cost or commitment of traditional managed services!

Always-On can be activated with as little as 100 billable hours per year, which makes the cost/benefit of our Always-On Service vs. traditional managed services an appealing option for many organizations. In addition to the 24x7x365 third-level support, you’re also covered for ongoing maintenance, upgrades, professional services, and consulting. During the onboarding process we’ll work with your team to establish a cadence of recurring tasks like code upgrades and security patches.

❭❭ 24x7x365 Palo Alto Networks Support & Emergency Response

Always-On includes on-demand access to our Palo Alto-certified support team with “as needed” flexibility (for a fraction of the cost of hiring a single in-house employee).

How Does On Call Support Work?

Our Palo Alto-certified & U.S.-based engineers are available and ready to assist you with anything related to your Palo Alto environment(s), day or night, 24 x7x 365. Always-On customers easily create tickets with a simple form inside the client portal, or call the emergency phone line for urgent requests. Additionally, if you opt in for Device Monitoring, WorldTech IT engineers are able to take a proactive approach in addressing any critical issues that arise. In all of these scenarios (ticket creation, call-in requests, and monitoring alerts) our on call engineers are alerted and apprised of the situation. For issues that require an immediate or “after hours” response from a WorldTech IT engineer, service credits are consumed at an accelerated rate (determined by the required urgency).
