Aviatrix aims to bring multi-cloud networking, security, and operational visibility capabilities that enterprises customers require. Aviatrix software leverages public cloud provider APIs to interact with and directly program native cloud networking constructs, abstracting the unique complexities of each cloud to form one network data plane, and adds advanced networking and security features.
Nuage Networks, a Nokia company, offers the Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP), which provides software-defined networking (SDN) and policy-based automation for cloud deployments. Designed for large enterprises and service providers, the vendor boasts supporting clouds of all sizes and architectures, from datacenter private clouds to large enterprise wide area networks (WANs) and some of the largest public clouds in the world.
The software-defined networking (SDN) solution's…
Definitely use aAviatrix Cloud Network Platform if you are on multiple clouds like AWS, GCP or Azure. Or if you have multiple environments in one of them. Also if you have on-prem infrastructure that you need connected via VPN tunnel to the cloud. As far as I know, Aviatrix Cloud Network Platform is the only one using multiprocessing for those to reach high speeds.
I can recommend the use of this software, the objective points that we had as an organization for months could be met. I am not saying that it is free of problems but it gives peace of mind and confidence that it is backed by a large company in the technology industry.
With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.
There are certain tools that need training to be able to use them. One of them is SASE which requires reading long documentation and the support of qualified engineers is needed. I think this is difficult and does not allow you to explore all areas of the Nuage environment.
There is intermittence in the afternoon hours. I mean by this that in the afternoon hours from 6 to 10 pm the platform does not load in the way it should, filling options are slowed down and the same thing happens in the early morning hours, the support team has not yet determined the exact reason for this.
Volume discount could not be negotiated. That in this case a really extensive investment was requested for first-time use of the product.
The core function of the product works very well. It really makes network traffic management easy in public clound, as well as crossing different public and private cloud platform.
We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix solution.
Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
It has allowed us to unite different computer methodologies for the control of breakdowns in the cloud.
This supports commitment and meets business objectives in less time. This is simpler and the benefit is obvious.
Improving incorrect procedures in this sense allows us to anticipate correcting errors by giving us alerts and avoiding wasting too much time solving specific problems in the future.
Meet business objectives in months and it has been surprising. A specific business objective was to improve our facilities to be able to deliver faster service to our customers and achieve higher profit income.
