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

86% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy*. VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) enables consistent, secure infrastructure and operations for enterprises delivering applications in hybrid cloud environments. Customers across industries cite the ability to scale, transparently move workloads between on-prem and public cloud, and broadening workload deployment choice as reasons for choosing VCF.

Enterprise-grade load balancing and web application firewall capabilities are critical components of successful VCF deployments. With the acquisition of Avi Networks in June 2019, VMware entered the enterprise application delivery market.

In this webinar, join experts from VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (by Avi Networks) and VMware Cloud Foundation to learn how to:

- Provision software load balancers for VCF in just minutes
- Lower your TCO by 30% for application delivery services
- Manage and orchestrate policies for all load balancers centrally
- Achieve high-performance and scale elastically across clouds
- Troubleshoot application networking issues without TCP dumps and log traces

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

Multi-cloud is not a trend, automation shouldn't be a risk, and troubleshooting should be made easy. Avi Networks, now part of VMware, offers the only software-defined load balancing platform that truly delivers on all three.

In this webinar, we will explain how to redefine TCO with a study in real world use cases:

- True Multi-Cloud Deployments
- Automation Without the Fear
- Simple Troubleshooting (aka: Mean-Time-To-Innocence)

The Avi Platform delivers software-defined load balancing as an elastic, highly automated, and programmable fabric. Enterprises migrating to Avi Networks from F5 hardware or virtual appliances find that they can address the challenges of overprovisioning and overpaying for their iRules with simple point-and-click configurations in the Avi UI.

In this session you will learn:
- Best practices for migration gathered from hundreds of Fortune 500 enterprises
- How Avi automates many common application delivery tasks and simplifies your day to day operations

This is the sequel to a two-part session. The automation and flexibility of the public cloud are important for digital business. In the aftermath of significant workplace disruption caused by the pandemic to the process of setting up and operating networks and deploying new applications, enterprises are looking for the same agility in their private clouds. How can IT respond to the pressure from their internal customers to deliver applications, with resilience, Day 0-N automation, and consistent services in any cloud. Hear from VMware customers and product experts who are addressing these challenges and transforming their networks to simplify operations, save costs, and deliver that “one-click” experience to application teams.

In this session, we will explore the modern load balancing architecture that brings the simplicity of the public cloud to application delivery in any environment.

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.

From the public cloud, to the data center, and to the edge, enterprises are rethinking their networking and security strategies, priorities, technologies, and investment decisions to handle the unexpected. Traditional networks and security models have proved to be too rigid and have become blockers to address changes rapidly. The public cloud has quickly become the model to deliver this agility.

In this talk, we will examine networking and security technologies that are designed to operate with the network-as-code model of the public cloud and bring that flexibility to the private cloud. Enterprises are building and managing full stack networks with broad and deep visibility today and deploying security policies rapidly without any hardware dependencies.

In part one of this two-part session, we will discuss the networking and security aspects followed by part two which will cover application load balancing and application delivery services.

Multi-cloud is not a trend, it’s a reality. Applications are deployed anywhere across on-premises data centers and public clouds. Application services including load balancing, web application firewall (WAF) and analytics need to be infrastructure agnostic, portable to containers and fully automatable.

In this session you will be able to see a demonstration of the full suite of application services of VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (by Avi Networks) including Ingress Controller, enterprise-grade local and global load balancing, WAF, autoscaling, and application insights that simplify troubleshooting. You will also learn how to consolidate networking and security services for Kubernetes applications and deliver consistent networking services across multi-cloud environments.

Enterprises are adopting agile, cloud-native development methods and tools to create better production environments. Containers and Kubernetes are at the heart of this transformation, but such enterprise-scale transitions put the onus on IT operations. Learn how the networking and security stack can match the cloud-native automation, portability, and self-services of Kubernetes applications.

In this session, learn how to overcome common pitfalls when deploying production-ready container applications and ways to simplify the operational challenges of delivering secure and scalable, multi-cluster Kubernetes applications.

Join a panel discussion moderated by Chandra Sekar, Senior Director of Marketing, with VMware container networking experts - VP and Chief Architect Ranga Rajagopalan, Pere Monclus – VMware CTO of Networking and Security, Swapnil Hendre, Director of Solutions Engineering and Design to learn about agile system environments, and automation best practices to deliver load balancing and WAF for Kubernetes applications.
