Radical changes in security have dramatic impact on load balancing. SSL/TLS is changing so rapidly that enterprises are forced to do a forklift upgrade of their hardware load balancers. However, with Avi's software load balancer, it’s as simple as a version update.

In this webinar, we will catch you up the latest SSL facts.

- SSL termination can be done with only software. And it has better security, scalability, and lower cost. That’s how Facebook and Google do it. Let’s see how.
- RSA and Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) have different implications for perfect forward secrecy (PFS), HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3 support. Let’s compare.
- SSL health score allows you to manage expiring certificates, automated certificate renewals, and notification alerts from a centralized control plane.

According to RightScale, 81% of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy and operate 5 clouds (public and private) on average. So how are businesses handling enterprise-grade load balancing, monitoring, analytics and security of their applications, which are increasingly deployed across on-premises data centers and multi-cloud environments? Avi overcomes the limitations of appliance-based or single-cloud solutions which work only in one environment.

View this webinar to learn how Avi achieves:

Faster time-to-value - get an easy start on consuming application services and enable businesses to focus on provisioning applications instead of managing infrastructure
Operational simplicity - reduce the complexities and cost in maintenance, upgrades and gain faster troubleshooting, proactive fault detection and risk mitigation
Deployment flexibility - deliver the same enterprise features and consistent experience across any environment and with any delivery options SaaS or customer-managed.

Enterprises are adopting multi-cloud strategies as springboards to increased business agility and competitive differentiation. Elastic, highly-automated application networking services such as load balancing, application monitoring, application acceleration, auto-scaling, micro‑segmentation, and application security, are essential components to deliver this agility.

IDC recently concluded a business value study of Avi Networks’ customers who have benefited from adopting agile application delivery practices. Join IDC’s Brad Casemore and Avi Networks customer Garrett Zorigian from ZOLL Data on a discussion to:

- Learn how software-defined application networking is improving business outcomes.

With modern technologies on the rise, enterprises are increasingly favoring container orchestration platforms like Red Hat OpenShift for their flexibility and developer-centric features. Unfortunately, traditional application delivery controllers (ADCs) limit microservices architectures with inflexible architecture, static capacities, and lack of enterprise-grade features. With Avi, you can harness the potential of modern container services with a full-featured application services platform that offers multi-cloud load balancing, analytics, observability and visibility, automation, security, and much more.

View this webinar to understand:

- Motivation and architecture behind container orchestration platforms like Red Hat OpenShift
- Integration between OpenShift and Avi’s Elastic Service Mesh based on the Avi Vantage Platform
- Use cases including North-South/East-West traffic management, multi-cloud deployments, and more

For years, enterprises have relied on appliance-based (hardware or virtual) load balancers. Unfortunately, these legacy ADCs are inflexible at scale, costly due to overprovisioning for peak traffic, and slow to respond to changes or security incidents.

These problems are amplified as applications migrate to the cloud. In contrast, the Avi Vantage Platform not only elastically scales up and down based on real-time traffic patterns, but also offers ludicrous scale at a fraction of the cost.

Watch this webinar to see how Avi can scale up and down quickly on the Microsoft Azure Cloud.
- Configure load balancing on Azure to scale up from 0 to 1 million transactions per second (TPS) and down in under 10 minutes
- Learn why hardware or virtual appliances are not an option for modern load balancing in public clouds
- Understand how Avi’s elastic scale dramatically lowers TCO and enhances security, including DDoS attacks

With the advent of automation, iRules have become an artifact of the past. Especially when the most commonly deployed F5 iRules such as HTTP redirects, content switching, or logging, require custom scripting. It can be a huge pain for an IT team to train staff on convoluted syntax and manual conversions. Avi eliminates most iRules (#iRulesNoMore) – basic or advanced – with native point-and-click functionalities.
Watch this webinar to learn:
- How over 75% of F5 iRules can be accommodated by native point-and-click features
- Top 10 iRules that can be migrated to native policies on the Avi Vantage Platform
