VMWare NSX Avi (NSX Advanced Load Balancer)

VMWare NSX Avi (NSX Advanced Load Balancer)

Applications must now be accessible in a variety of environments, regardless of time zones and peak usage periods, in order to enable remote work and ensure security at an unprecedented rate. Legacy infrastructure is unable to deliver applications securely and consistently because it lacks the elasticity, flexibility, and agility required. It is possible for infrastructure to become composable, automated, and intelligent without being constrained by the appliance-based approach thanks to the growth of containers, APIs, and observability requirements. Modern businesses require an on-demand app delivery solution like the licensed VMWare NSX Avi (NSX Advanced Load Balancer) that is quick to deploy, simple to use, and supports multi-cloud consistency between on-premises and cloud environments.

Automated provisioning

Using per-app load balancing services, automated virtual service provisioning.

  • Consolidated policies simplify operations.
  • Virtual IP (VIP) provisioning in a matter of seconds.
  • No manuals for individual appliance configurations.
  • Complete lifecycle administration using automated application delivery.
  • Complete automation using REST APIs, which supports quicker application rollout in Blue/Green and Canary deployments and gives DevOps teams access to self-service portals.

Advanced Load Balancer

The distributed data plane (Avi Service Engines) and the centralized control plane (VMWare NSX Avi (NSX Advanced Load Balancer)) are separated by a software-defined architecture. Due to Avi’s complete REST API reliance, the CI/CD pipeline for application delivery can fully automate and integrate it. The “brain” of the entire system, the Avi Controller serves as a single point of management, intelligence, and control over a distributed fabric of enterprise-grade load balancers, application security, container ingress, and analytics.

The licensed VMWare NSX Avi (NSX Advanced Load Balancer) Controller offers decision automation based on closed-loop telemetries and presents actionable insights based on application monitoring, end-to-end timing, searchable traffic logs, security insights, log insights, client insights, and more.

Web application firewall App Security

Avi’s web application firewall (WAF) has a distributed web application security fabric to enforce security through closed-loop analytics and application learning mode. This includes OWASP CRS protection, support for compliance regulations like pc. DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, and signature-based detection. To increase the effectiveness of resource-intensive operations, WAF offers an optimized security pipeline with a positive security model.

The licensed VMWare NSX Avi (NSX Advanced Load Balancer) with Cloud Services offers real-time feeds of new threat updates, including IP reputation, bot detection, signatures, and more, and automatically reduces false positives with advanced security analytics, detection, and enforcement modes. With end-to-end visibility, real-time app security insights and analytics offer actionable insights on performance, end users, and security events in a single dashboard.

It helps you:

  • Insights and analytics regarding app security in real time
  • Simple point-and-click security policies with central management
  • Shields applications from OWASP Top 10 threats and DDoS assaults
  • Updates on threats that are automated through Avi and Cloud Services
  • Elastic scale with a highly effective, load-based, automatic scale-out architecture
  • Precise policies require granular security insights on traffic patterns and rule matches

Kubernetes Services

Modern microservices-based application architectures that are one of the NSX Advanced Load Balancer services, have rendered appliance-based load balancing solutions obsolete. Containerized applications deployed on Kubernetes clusters require a scalable, enterprise-class solution for load balancing, global and local traffic management, service discovery, monitoring/analytics, and security.

Organizations adopting Kubernetes need a cloud-native approach to traffic management and application network services. For modern container-based applications, Avi offers a consolidated set of container services, including inbound traffic management in cloud-native, scalable, and enterprise-class containers, dynamic service discovery, and security.
