Actionable Analytics From Your Load Balancer

Avi Networks' Load Balancer Features

Load balancers occupy a privileged position, in-line with applications in the enterprise network. However, legacy, appliance-based load balancers do not leverage their position to provide real-time insights. Avi’s software-defined architecture delivers unprecedented analytics using continuous insights collected by the load balancers.

Architected for APM-like Analytics

The Avi Service Engines provide a distributed load balancing fabric collecting millions of data points in real time.  The real-time telemetry is processed by the Avi Controller continuously, to provide unprecedented visibility and application insights (that complement Application Performance Monitoring tools).  It enables network engineers and developers to get actionable insights into application performance, security, and end-user experience simplifying troubleshooting down to minutes.
