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

Enterprises moving to the cloud cannot rely on legacy solutions
Challenges with Traditional Load Balancers in VMC

Expensive /
Overprovisioned
Hard to
Troubleshoot
Operational
Complexity
Not Consistent
Across Clouds
Legacy, appliance
based load balancers
take from days to
weeks to procure/
provision
Deployed as
expensive active-
standby appliances –
wastes capacity
Traditional LBs are black
boxes – no insights to
troubleshoot user
experience issues
Significant operational
complexity – need to
manage each instance, no
automation
On-prem and Cloud

• Deliver virtual desktops quickly to thousands of
employees of large newly acquired companies
• Avi’s elasticity and A-A configuration eliminated the
challenge of overprovisioning for worst-case scenario
• Avi platform simplifies VDI deployment and operations
– Single consolidated view of LB deployment
– Real time health of UAGs and Connection Servers
– End user insights
Virtual desktops provisioned in shortest time in the history of the company
VMware IT Delivers VDI Services In Record Time
“ Avi helped us deliver a large VDI
deployment in a day instead of
weeks with legacy load
balancers. It saves costs,
simplifies ops, and gives us great
app and client insights.
