Avi is designed for VMware NSX
Avi Networks is the first vendor to offer a new type of load balancing solution that separates the control plane from the data plane.
This separation enables a more efficient and scalable solution that can be used in data centers, clouds, and across networks.
Avi Networks has been working with VMware since 2012 to integrate their technology into NSX. As a result, Avi’s load balancer will be available as an NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi) in all NSX editions.
VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi) is a new, highly scalable load balancer that eliminates the problem of overprovisioning and overspending by scaling load balancers elastically.
Avi is designed for VMware NSX environments and is available in three editions: Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise. The Standard edition provides basic load balancing capabilities for up to four hosts with 1 Gbps throughput per host. The Advanced edition supports up to 16 hosts with 10 Gbps throughput per host. The Enterprise edition provides unlimited scale with 40 Gbps throughput per host.
VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi) is a platform that ensures consistent application delivery. It brings software load balancers, web application firewall (WAF), and network security to a single platform.
The Avi platform is VMware’s response to the need for consistent application delivery. The Avi platform not only provides the traditional load balancing and WAF services, but it also includes advanced features like traffic shaping, SSL offload and acceleration, and API-based management.
