Deep dive into VMware Cloud Director and NSX Advanced Load Balancer

Application architectures are evolving, and security needs to evolve with it. Web application and API protection is critical in today’s multi-cloud and micro-services architectures. Protecting the network ingress point is essential to providing a secure application delivery infrastructure in a multi-layered security model. VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi) is designed to protect your modern application infrastructure and is positioned to provide a complete ingress security solution for the multi-cloud and micro-services environments.

In this ever-increasing application economy, IT administrators and cloud architects are constantly looking at simpler and more efficient ways to:  
Gain Application Performance Visibility  
Stop Blame Game among Network, Server & Developer Teams   
Empower App Developers to Deploy Apps in Minutes 
Manage and maintain Load balancing services with minimum effort      
Join us for this session where we will introduce the new VMware NSX+ Advanced Load Balancer Cloud Services. See a short demo of our native load balancing solution on VMC on AWS and learn: 
How native integration of NSX ALB brings application awareness to the VMware Cloud on AWS.  
How the Cloud Controller service automatically simplifies day 0 to day 2 tasks including controller installation, configuration, upgrades, DR and autoscaling. 
How Cloud admins can readily access application health scores, end to end latency and traffic patterns with intuitive UI and deploy applications in minutes.  
How the integrated solution simplifies compliance, governance, and policy management with the advantage of a single vendor for purchase and support.

Introducing App-Aware Advanced Load Balancer as a Service to VMware Cloud

There are many reasons to move from NSX native load balancing to NSX Advanced Load Balancer. First, and foremost, NSX native load balancing is going away in the future. But, there are positive reasons to make the transition to NSX ALB now. It will simplify operations and help manage your multi-cloud and container environments. NSX ALB provides advanced application and context aware services needed to deliver the resiliency, elasticity and security that today's applications require through server load balancing, global server load balancing, web application firewall, and rich analytics. A migration tool has been created to assist with the transition from NSX native load balancing to the next generation NSX ALB solution.Join this webinar to learn:
• Key reasons to NSX Advanced Load Balancer today makes sense
• How to migrate from NSX-v or NSX-T to NSX Advanced Load Balancer
• The benefits of next-generation software-centric application delivery

Top 4 Reasons to Migrate From NSX Load Balancing to NSX Advanced Load Balancer

As Enterprises increasingly span their workloads across on-premises data centers and cloud environments, it is becoming significantly complex for IT teams to enable better workload portability and create consistent application delivery and networking services. 
In this webinar, you will learn how VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer facilitates seamless application delivery and provides choices to deploy your applications across on-premises data centers and Oracle Cloud Virtual Services (OCVS) while enabling: 
Modern Application Delivery: Consider consistency, elastic scalability, cloud-native automation, and built-in end-to-end observability when choosing load balancing across hybrid environments. 
Data-center Extension: Ensure continuous operations while providing elastic L4-L7 load balancing, security, and real-time application analytics for VMware-based apps running in Google Cloud. 
Lift-and-Shift: When migrating to OCVS from an on-premises data center, operationalize uninterrupted enterprise-grade features, including GSLB and WAF.

Secure, Scalable and Consistent Application Delivery in a Multi-Cloud World

Citrix’s acquisition by private equity and uncertainty around the products makes it a good time to explore alternatives to Citrix ADC (previously known as NetScaler). Choosing Avi as a replacement can simplify operations, provide consistent delivery and lower costs. 
 
Join our networking experts to hear about our cloud-ready load balancer with built-in elasticity, automation, and security, as well as an easy migration path from Citrix ADC that:
• Eliminates capacity management challenges and overprovisioning
• Manages traffic spikes with on-demand autoscaling
• Deploys high-performance virtual desktops in record time
• Creates a future-proof, single platform, for data center, cloud, and container-based apps
• Provides visibility to application performance, security posture, and end user issues

Migrating from Citrix ADC to a Modern, Cloud-Ready Load Balancer

The reduction of the power consumption in data centers and the cloud is critical to the creating an energy efficient global society.  Applications like crypto-mining can consume more energy than most countries.  Energy consumption of resources can be minimized by making resources available with just in time capacity management.  These resources can be further optimized through judicious deployment based on local and regional energy grid availability.  Attend this discussion to:

-Identify sub-optimal resource deployment and how to fix it
-Enable the benefits of auto-scaling elasticity to the application infrastructure
-See how auto-scaling can reduce manual operations and human error

Reduce Technology's Carbon Footprint Through Auto-Scaling

DR On-Demand At fraction of the Cost?

IT security has been hardware-dependent due to the computational requirements to perform advanced security tasks like encryption and content inspection.  But virtual compute resources have improved to the point that hardware-specific products are no longer necessary. The reliance on customized encryption chips and content scanning silicon limits one's ability to use cloud technologies and move to a modern application/containerized architecture.  Physical appliances block the agility and elasticity that IT practitioners want from their virtual environments. Virtualized security technologies can be deployed without compromising the performance and protection of the applications and data.  Attend this webinar to: 
Understand how today's technology have made virtualized security possible 
Discover how security features like TLS/SSL encryption can be scaled in virtual networks 
Learn about virtual security solutions that provide comprehensive protection for your applications
