2019 was an eventful year for load balancing. Avi Networks was acquired by VMware, who entered the application delivery controller (ADC) market with a software load balancer, web application firewall and container ingress solution. NGINX was acquired by F5 Networks, hoping to tap into the developer communities. We continue to see the rise of multi-cloud and microservices as the leading drivers behind changes in modern load balancing solutions.

In this webinar, we explore three technology areas:

1. A new perspective on “service chain” – how it helps integrate adjacent technologies with APIs to form a self-service portal
2. Implications of HTTP3 on the future – why it is interesting to the load balancing industry in particular
3. An early prediction on DNS over HTTPS (DoH) – why it can enhance the security, scale and resiliency of the internet

Multi-Cloud is a reality for modern applications that are deployed everywhere – from data centers to the clouds. VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (by Avi Networks) is a full-featured L4-7 load balancing software solution that is agnostic to the underlying environments. We talked about how to separate fact from fiction and accelerate public cloud migration in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

In this webinar, we will focus on:

- Hybrid cloud deployments with VMC on AWS
- Seamless migration of VMware workloads to AWS
- Use cases including fast Horizon VDI deployments with VMC on AWS

See how VMware's integrated, cloud-native load balancer simplifies the delivery of Horizon cloud on Microsoft Azure. You will see how Avi's modern, distributed load balancers with central management speeds up deployments, simplifies operations, and reduces the cost of VDI deployments.

Also see how powerful analytics from the Avi platform give you network visibility and help you troubleshoot application performance and end user experience issues quickly without the need for TCP dumps or log exports.

Microsoft Azure is the public cloud environment preferred by many enterprises to deliver virtual desktops and apps. With Horizon Cloud, Avi Networks (now part of VMware) and Microsoft Azure, enterprises can set up infrastructure in just a few short hours and get scalable, turnkey VDI deployments to their remote employees.

In this webinar, see how the Avi Platform integrates with the Microsoft Azure cloud and Horizon Cloud to enable fast and efficient VDI services that can simplify your business continuity efforts.

Businesses setting up virtual desktops and apps for remote employees need enterprise-grade, elastic load balancing to ensure great end user experience. Procuring and deploying expensive, appliance-based load balancers is not an option for many companies.

Learn how Avi Networks (acquired by VMware) offers multi-cloud load balancing for Horizon VDI including:

• Distributed load balancing including GSLB, WAF, DNS, and IPAM with simple central management.
• Analytics and visibility to end user and application performance
• Deploy in just a few hours in any data center or public cloud
• Scales elastically and on-demand to support new users dynamically

Business continuity is a fundamental element of any successful company’s plans for stability and growth. A typical business continuity plan should address data center expansion or evacuation, seasonal fluctuation, and disaster recovery at a minimum. However, as we’ve all recently experienced, unplanned events necessitate a platform that can rapidly support remote workforce solutions to assure business continuity.

Is your business continuity plan capable of addressing planned as well as unplanned occurrences? Attend this webcast to hear from experts at Microsoft and VMware to learn how Azure VMware Solution can be the ideal platform to address your business continuity requirements and help future-proof your business to ensure growth in any business climate.

You’ll also learn about the key use cases which Azure VMware Solution can address as well as take a peek under the hood to learn more about the underlying technology that makes this platform ideal for business of all sizes.

Enterprises are facing networking challenges connecting to Azure from branch sites as applications increasingly migrate to the cloud. In this session, attendees will learn how enterprises can leverage VMware SD-WAN by VeloCoud to:

• Simplify branch connectivity via secure, overlay network to Azure workloads worldwide
• Be able to prioritize applications running in Azure to and from remote locations
• Assure application performance
• Achieve significant reduction in TCO

Windows Virtual Desktop has been all the rage, and for good reason–it’s Microsoft’s endorsement of virtual desktops running in the public cloud. Many companies are interested in moving but realize that for various reasons they can’t move their desktops overnight or that workloads are better placed in other locations. Fortunately, VMware Horizon Cloud supports the features of Windows Virtual Desktop and is a key platform of the VMware Horizon Service, which lets admins deploy desktops to any supported platform (on-premises, VMC on AWS, or Microsoft Azure) and manage them from a single pane of glass.

In this session, you’ll learn about how VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure supercharges the features of Windows Virtual Desktop, and how it can be a key piece in your hybrid desktop virtualization environment to support work from home and business continuity objectives, among other use cases.

The process of endless tickets to deploy an application is unsustainable. The largest banks, with hundreds of thousands of applications, have moved to a zero touch networking model. Deploy an app, and all the adjacent services, such as load balancing, application firewall, DNS and SSL cryptography are automatically instantiated. What does it take to make this happen? What impact will this have on your environment? In this session learn how the 3rd generation of application delivery enables self-service and automation to reduce time to market and operational costs.

With the need to deliver exceptional customer experience, the concept of the zero touch network has been gaining ground. While not a new idea, in 2020 the zero touch network is defined by most as being a network that ensures high availability, reliability and efficiency - automatically. Behind this is a management system that relies on many of the principles of software-defined networking and virtualization.

As 5G begins to be deployed around the globe, the requirements for network transformation has ramped up quickly and is having a significant impact on network operations.

Join this panel of networking experts as they share insights and lessons on how to navigate the new zero touch network and its demands on operations around capacity, latency, reliability and scalability.

GSLB has been traditionally deployed across multi-site data centers for disaster recovery and faster app response time. Increasingly, GSLB is applied across on-prem data centers and public clouds to better serve geo-distributed users. However cloud load balancing is lacking in terms of enterprise-class GSLB support. With distributed containerized applications and microservices deployed in Kubernetes clusters, visibility and health monitoring becomes ever more critical.

In this webinar, learn how VMware Advanced Load Balancer:

- Support DR scenarios for both Active / Standby and Active / Active applications
- Provision centrally with automated discovery of applications across sites
- Perform non-disruptive migration / expansion / consolidation of data centers
- Address use cases: multi-cloud deployments, cloud bursting, and site failure handling / recovery
