VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer: Powerful Software-Defined Application Services
The new VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (previously Avi Networks Platform) is a distributed application delivery controller (ADC) built for the cloud, with an architecture that mirrors cloud principles. NSX Advanced Load Balancer helps organizations overcome the complexity and rigidness of legacy systems and ADC appliances with modern, software-defined application delivery services. NSX Advanced Load Balancer provides a software load balancer and intelligent web application firewall, combined with advanced analytics and monitoring to enable a fast, scalable, and intrinsically more secure application experience. The solution’s central control plane and distributed data plane deliver application services as a dynamic, multi-cloud fabric which intelligently automates decisions and provides unprecedented application analytics and on-demand elasticity. Customers can dispatch services, such as load balancing and web application firewall, to any application on any cloud, running on VMs, containers, or bare metal, using one centralized interface.
VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud Delivers Unique Hyperscale Architecture
Today the company announced VMware is the only company that delivers hyperscale SD-WAN through a highly automated, stateless, scale-out design that is akin to the architecture of public clouds like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. VMware achieves hyperscale SD-WAN by having thousands of gateways across every major cloud provider, and hundreds of underlay carrier networks around the world. These gateways are stateless, and horizontally scalable, meaning that new gateways launch with no disruption to the end user. For customers this means new branch offices and increased application traffic can be added dynamically and automatically without reconfiguration. Changes, if necessary, can be rolled out dynamically to gateways without disruption to the end user. Customers can have tens of thousands of edges on a single network. The cloud gateways provide the automated one-click onramp to all the major public cloud providers, and to VMware Cloud Foundation running in private data centers. With VMware’s hyperscale SD-WAN solution customers achieve rapid speed of deployment, unprecedented economics, improved application performance, better network resiliency and simplified WAN operations.
VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud is a leader in the fast-growing SD-WAN market, as measured by industry analysts. The solution has been chosen by thousands of customers spanning more than 150,000 branch office locations in more than 130 countries around the world. The service is available from a partner network that includes more than 500 partners globally, including system integrators, VARs, MSPs and more than 100 telecom service providers. VMware and Dell EMC are also announcing a co-branded SD-WAN service powered by VMware, which will be sold by approximately 20,000 sellers worldwide.
Pervasive, End-to-End Visibility and Analytics for the Virtual Cloud Network
NSX Intelligence is a new distributed analytics engine built natively into NSX-T. Together, VMware vRealize Network Insight and NSX Intelligence deliver comprehensive visibility, analytics and troubleshooting to improve network and security operations for the Virtual Cloud Network. NSX Intelligence provides continuous data center-wide visibility for network and application security teams, helping them deliver a more granular and dynamic security posture, simplify compliance analysis, and streamline security operations. NSX Intelligence provides deep insight at the packet level into virtualized and containerized workloads, allowing for intuitive, highly automated network and security policy generation and enforcement. NSX Intelligence helps eliminate blind spots to reduce security risk, and accelerate security incident remediation through visualization and deep insight into every flow across the entire datacenter. Customers gain holistic context for security troubleshooting and improve collaboration between infrastructure and security teams through a converged pane for security operations.
The latest release of vRealize Network Insight provides end-to-end visibility and troubleshooting for physical and virtual infrastructure stretching from the data center to the network edge with new support for VMware SD-WAN, and into AWS, VMware Cloud on AWS and now Azure. VMware vRealize Network Insight 5.0 enhances NSX operations management by extending the PCI Compliance Dashboard for NSX-T, detecting audit changes for firewall rules, and tracking Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) latencies.
