Maintain High Availability for the applications by handling switchover/failover on demand. Elastically scale-out/scale-in applications based on user actions and/or auto-scale based on application metrics.
• SE Management Responsible for provisioning and interacting with the service agent module on every service engine. Maintain FSM to track the state of each service engine. Run heartbeats and health checks with the service engine.
• IPAM: This module provides IP allocation and management for applications and service engines.
• DNS: Provide DNS server functionality by managing DNS records for applications.
• State Cache: Aggregate distributed state for various entities in the system from the service engines. Efficiently aggregate, process and maintain this state for user visibility and for use by other modules on the controller.

Here is why customers love Avi!

Without Avi I dont think the platform would have launched or been as successful, quickly, as it has been because its basically fast tracking that ability to get into production, Crawford of Deutsche Bank

Due to Avis granular multi-tenancy, RBAC and user-friendly interface we can now provide access to this important infrastructure component for the vast majority of our support staff. This greatly reduces the time needed for customer issues to get fixed and get changes applied.

Stefan De Kooter, Network Engineer,

Appliance-based products werent meeting our needs, and as we evaluated alternatives, web application firewalling was our number-one consideration. We were pleasantly surprised by Avi iWAFs simple deployment, impressive ease-of-use, and intelligent security analytics, as well as the responsiveness of the Avi team. Joris Vuffray, Head of Network and System Mgmt,

We evaluated traditional and open source load balancers but they didnt meet our agility, flexibility, and performance expectations. They did not provide a model that was operationally viable. We wanted to provide the same dev/test environment capabilities to the development teams even in a production environment. Avi met all of these capabilities and added analytics on top!
