Case Study: Multinational Security Provider achieves scalable cybersecurity application performance with Avi Networks

Data Center Innovation Driven by Avi Networks and Cisco ACI

The Multinational Security Providing Company, a global security software vendor serving more than 200 million users in 167 countries, needed to modernize its data center and support a new flagship security application with over 100,000 connections per second. Its existing appliance-based load balancing approach could not scale efficiently for L4-L7 services or handle SSL/TLS traffic without major cost and footprint increases, so it turned to Avi Networks and Cisco ACI.

Avi Networks implemented the Avi Vantage Platform to provide software-defined load balancing, easy automation, and deep application analytics integrated with Cisco ACI/APIC. The result was horizontal scale-out support for ~100,000 SSL connections per second, faster troubleshooting, and far better visibility into transaction performance, helping the IT team pinpoint issues in minutes instead of hours and reducing the need for racks of traditional load balancers.
