Modern data center architecture requires modern and next-gen load balancing solutions. Does your ADC deliver these 7 capabilities?

1. Legacy load balancers and Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) were not designed
for an era of a software-defined infrastructure, virtualization and cloud-based
applications. Look for the following before buying your next ADC.
AVI
Centralized controller and policy
repository provides single point of
control and automation.
LEGACY
Each hardware (or software)
appliance managed individually.
90% higher opex.
AVI
Pure software-only solution
that runs on any x86, VMs
or containers.
LEGACY
Proprietary hardware ADC
appliances need planning for power,
space and spare inventory.
AVI
Integrated Inline Analytics™
give insights to root-cause & fix
application performance issues.
LEGACY
Needs additional out-of-band
monitoring tools/network plus agents
inserted within applications.
AVI
Security config. analyzer and
anomaly detection auto-mitigate
DDoS/HTTP/SSL vulnerabilities.
LEGACY
Alerts from individual ADCs manually
analyzed. Security misconfigurations,
outdated ciphers not flagged.
AVI
Each customer/LOB/developer
gets dedicated ADCs with data
& control plane isolation
LEGACY
Multiple tenants share same
hardware/software device.
Upgrades disrupt all app owners.
LEGACY
Need to overprovision scale/capacity
upfront based on projecte
“peak” scenario.
AVI
Zero capex upfront. ADCs
automatically spun up based on
real-time application requirements.
100% SOFTWARE

SIMPLICITY
SELF-SERVICE
LEGACY
Install & config. each new ADC
appliance by networking experts
takes weeks.
AVI
30 seconds to create and provision
L4-L7 network services using
REST APIs or Avi UI.
