ESG Technical Validation Report: Intelligent Cloud Networking with Aviatrix
Cloud Automation and Agility for Enterprise Grade Visibility and Control
Enterprises need consistency cross clouds with security, automation, visibility and control. Only 34% of the organizations surveyed by EMA said they are fully successful with the overall use of network visibility architecture, down from 40% when the firm asked the same question in 2020.
According to enterprises in a recent EMA report, the top challenges cited are scalability issues (cited by 27%), architectural complexity (26%), data quality (23%), skills gaps (19%), budget (19%), and limited cloud visibility (17%).
Organizations choose Aviatrix for their enterprise-grade networking and network intelligence because it gives them repeatability and control across their entire multicloud architecture — reducing deployment and day-two operations from weeks to minutes.
- Consistent Multicloud
- Consistent Visibility and Control
- Consistent Embedded Security
- Consistent Multicloud Automation
“You need consistent architecture, not just for one cloud, but for any. You need an architecture that is automated and that is as code. You have to be able to use automation from the application development platform through all other software.” – Steve Mullaney, CEO, Aviatrix
Build Your Cloud Network Backbone with Aviatrix
The Aviatrix enterprise cloud network backbone delivers secure, high-performance, low-latency, multicloud networking while maintaining enterprise-class visibility and control. Find out how simple it is to deliver wire-speed IPSec encryption and reduce costs with Aviatrix’s Intelligent Cloud Networking overlay.
Multicloud Ready
Aviatrix is a multicloud networking platform that delivers consistent networking, visibility, security, and automation across clouds. This makes extending your Aviatrix multi-region backbone seamless to become inter-cloud and ultimately into any cloud for advanced cloud networking.
Embedded Network Security with Distributed Firewalling
Aviatrix builds distributed firewalling, micro-segmentation, and threat detection into the network fabric. Protection is enforced by automating native CSP tags, telemetry, and intelligence.
Next-Generation Firewall Service Insertion
Aviatrix offers a simplified architecture for next-generation firewalling and SSL offloading security service insertion and control in the public cloud. Aviatrix has worked closely with our security and CSPs to overcome many challenges enterprises face.
Aviatrix and Equinix Deliver the Highest Performance Encrypted Connection to the Cloud
Aviatrix leverages Equinix’s Network Edge and Equinix Fabric™ to deliver the highest performance encrypted connection to the cloud and provides the multicloud visibility and control enterprises require.
The solution allows Aviatrix Edge software, deployed on a Network Edge instance, to encrypt traffic over Equinix high-performance private cloud networking services at up to 10 Gbps connection speeds.
Leveraging Equinix Fabric, customers can access thousands of clouds and networks. In addition to high-speed encryption, Aviatrix on Network Edge extends multicloud visibility and provides the control and security enterprises require via the world’s largest number of cloud on-ramps.
“We are all in on cloud for the agility and speed, but native cloud networking was a challenge we needed to overcome. It was like we went from a full box of crayons on-prem to a couple of broken up sticks of colored wax in the cloud,” said Jim Setty, Network Architect at Masco Corporation. “Aviatrix was the answer to those challenges. Now, as a result of this collaboration, we have seamlessly extended our Aviatrix cloud network and network management with the global reach of the Equinix platform.”
Security Everywhere
With an accelerated shift to cloud, a remote workforce, and rising security threats, you are being challenged to secure an increasingly distributed enterprise. How do you embrace what’s already in your environment and, at the same time, enhance what’s there? How can you protect something you can’t see? Aviatrix can help.
Centralized, consistent security
Centralize protection with built-in security, enabling a zero-trust network, where nothing is trusted by default and continuously validates every stage of digital interaction.
Global, intent-based policies
Manage and automate security policies at the network layer to make it easier to update granular policies and apply rules and best practices to firewalls.
Business-critical applications
Business-critical applications require a secure infrastructure. Built-in security capabilities automatically monitor network activity for potential threats, optimize performance, and minimize data transfer costs.
Aviatrix CoPilot Operational Visibility
Aviatrix CoPilot provides a global operational view of your multi-cloud network not available from AWS, Azure or any other cloud provider. Enterprise IT teams – who need day-two operational visibility for cloud networking – use Aviatrix CoPilot’s dynamic topology mapping to maintain an accurate view of their global multicloud networks, FlowIQ to analyze global network traffic flows and global heat maps and time series trend charts to easily pinpoint and troubleshoot traffic anomalies.
