Since our founding, Aviatrix has empowered customers to achieve cloud networking freedom by simplifying operational complexity, cutting unnecessary costs, and overcoming security challenges. Today, we’re proud to announce a new offering that can take your network to the next level: Aviatrix Cloud Network Security Platform-as-a-Service (Aviatrix PaaS).
Knowing that some customers prefer to manage their own platforms and others prefer managed solutions, we’re offering Aviatrix customers a choice. Our self-managed solution, the Aviatrix Cloud Network Security Platform, will still be available, but we now offer Aviatrix PaaS as a managed offering that takes care of ongoing maintenance infrastructure concerns for you. Built with AI-powered automation at its core, Aviatrix PaaS simplifies operational overhead on your side while still leaving you with full control of your dataplane and your data.
Here are some of the benefits of this new scalable, AI-enhanced service for enterprise cloud networking admins and architects:
Streamlined Onboarding and Enhanced Visibility
Aviatrix PaaS offers accelerated customer onboarding to both new and existing Aviatrix customers. This drastically reduces the overall time to value: you can start using the service within minutes.
In addition to the advanced visibility and troubleshooting Aviatrix has been delivering for years, this service also introduces AI enhancements reducing manual toil and the risk of human error. Despite shifting much of the management responsibilities away from you, Aviatrix PaaS ensures that you have the necessary visibility over all your CSP accounts, gateways, user actions, and logs to diagnose and understand network-related issues effectively. This aspect is crucial as it empowers you to troubleshoot issues quickly.
Simplified Management and Reduced Overhead
Aviatrix PaaS reduces operational overhead by providing automated control-plane health monitoring, ensuring continuous service availability and network health without requiring your intervention.
Managed upgrades with this service mean that you receive the benefits of the latest features and updates without the associated risks and tedious work of upgrading on your own. Through these automated health checks and regular upgrades, you can rely on a consistently available network that supports ongoing business demands without interruption. Aviatrix provides an SLA of 99.9% on all PaaS components and adheres to all industry-specific regulatory requirements. You’ll always receive advanced notice of any upgrades and can rely on regularly-scheduled maintenance windows.
Since network traffic in this PaaS offering never leaves your cloud account, you get the benefit of increased privacy, enhanced security, and optimized performance.
Automatic Scaling
This PaaS offering maximizes simplicity, performance, and growth by automating horizontal and vertical scaling. The flexible architecture adjusts based on load, securing performance under varying operational demands. It can even do so without imposing downtime or forcing costly re-deployment, allowing your business to scale with minimal effort.
Ensuring Full Control of Your Enterprise Dataplane and Data
Aviatrix PaaS simplifies and streamlines your workload by managing system maintenance and upgrades, but you retain full control of your data.
Aviatrix will not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data with Aviatrix PaaS. Your dataplane is private and exists only within your tenant. Aviatrix PaaS simply offers the control and management plane as a service. Aviatrix complies with SOC2 requirements to ensure your data is handled to meet various industry and government regulations, standards, and requirements.
Using AI for Security and Efficiency
Aviatrix PaaS integrates purpose-built AI throughout its architecture to automate complex network operations and minimize human error. The service leverages AI for things like domain categorization,scoring for egress traffic, and an intelligent chat assistant. These capabilities provide real-time threat detection, intelligent guidance, and policy recommendations, empowering enterprises to prevent malicious activity, streamline troubleshooting, and enhance operational efficiency.
Aviatrix PaaS seamlessly integrates AI into the platform, enabling actionable, predictive insights, streamlining the user experience, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. This service will also incorporate AI-assisted insights marrying true software-defined networking to innovations driven through LLMs.
