Avi Networks Earns Computer Technology Review MVP Award
for Uniquely Delivering Enterprise Applications to the Cloud
Wins Most Valuable Product Award for Scale, Security and Cost Benefits of its
Hyperscale Approach to Application Delivery
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – April 08, 2015 – Avi Networks, the Cloud Application Delivery Company, today announced that
Computer Technology Review (CTR) has named the recently announced Avi Networks Cloud Application Delivery Platform
(CADP) as a 2015 Most Valuable Products Award winner for uniquely delivering the benefits of a hyper-scale approach to
application delivery for any infrastructure, at any scale, for on-premise and cloud-based applications.
Founded in 1981, CTR is one of the most respected editorial authorities in the computer storage, networking and information
technology industries. In fact, CTR was the first storage publication to have a Web presence. Today, the CTR website has a very
loyal following and is one of the largest sites devoted to data storage and data management. The complete list of 2015 winners
can be found at CTR at http://wwpi.com/mvp-award-winners/.
According to CTR, “Avi’s fundamental design principle was to create compact, high performance, network services engines
with a single point of control. The Cloud Application Delivery Platform is more or less the software-defined networking (SDN)
concept applied to application delivery, rather than the network as a whole. The basic framework is provided by the Hyperscale
Distributed Resources Architecture, or HYDRA. It allows users to manage core application development services like load
balancing and SSL termination, as well as extensive analytics information from a single system. In terms of pricing, Avi offers
both a bandwidth-based model and a ‘price by application scale/instance’ scheme.”
As applications move to cloud-based infrastructure and mobile becomes the dominant endpoint, it has become increasingly
difficult for the enterprise IT teams to guarantee end-user application experience using legacy load-balancers and application
delivery controllers (ADC). The Avi Networks CADP is a next-gen, software-defined ADC that brings the benefits of hyperscale
application delivery, security and analytics to enterprises and cloud service providers. With a unique analytics-driven and
distributed application delivery architecture, the Avi Networks solution guarantees end-user application experience for onpremise and cloud-based applications.
“We only recently launched the Avi Networks CADP, and it’s validating to receive CTR’s highest award in the Cloud Awards
Category,” said Dhritiman Dasgupta, Avi Networks VP of Marketing. “We designed the Cloud Application Delivery Platform to
combine application analytics and real-time user metrics with application delivery for an intelligent, integrated solution that can
improve end-user experience and application performance, while dramatically cutting costs. Today, our customers are getting
the benefits of hyperscale cloud environments that were once the exclusive domain of software giants such as Facebook,
Google and Amazon.”
Based on SDN principles, Avi Networks separates the data plane from the control plane — an industry first for ADCs and load
balancers. The data plane resources can be elastically scaled across on-premise, private cloud, and public cloud computing
platforms and co-located with the applications they serve, eliminating network design or planning challenges and enabling
scalable network services. The control plane is centralized and capable of dynamic service creation, giving customers a
single point of integration, automation, and programmability to ease management and create a single, infinitely scalable
application-delivery platform. The Avi Networks CADP integrates seamlessly with customers’ VMware, Openstack and
Cisco’s ACI fabric environments.
