Building a scalable and highly available cloud infrastructure with the VMware Avi Load Balancer add-on to VMware Cloud Foundation

Enterprises realize that their applications must be scalable and highly available with zero user downtime. This increases the priority for VMware Cloud Service Providers (VCSPs) to provide scalable, reliable network and load balancing capabilities that can respond to demand. The VCF Advanced Load Balancing Services Go-To-Market suite can help you capitalize on this opportunity.

Scalability and high availability challenges

Enterprises manage a diverse range of applications across their environments and require higher levels of availability and resiliency to meet the demands of digital services and ensure a seamless end-user experience. Traditional hardware or appliance-based load balancers (LB) struggle to keep pace with cloud environments and the scalability and performance needs of modern applications.

All this leads to a disruption in the availability of applications and a slowdown in the launch of new digital services.

Networking and load balancing services are available

As a VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP), deploying VMware Cloud Foundation equips you with a variety of built-in networking and load-balancing features that address many standard customer needs. However, in today’s evolving cloud environment, customers are increasingly demanding advanced load balancing services that go beyond basic capabilities—often driven by specific application performance requirements, complex traffic management needs, or scalability requirements.

This growing demand for sophisticated load balancing is a strategic opportunity for VCSPs to expand their service portfolio and increase revenue. By incorporating VMware Avi Load Balancer into VCF as an advanced service, you can meet these needs with powerful enterprise-grade load balancing features such as:

  • Advanced Traffic Routing,
  • Local server load balancing,
  • Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB),
  • Kubernetes Ingress,
  • Web Application Firewall a
  • Analytics application

Not only does this approach satisfy a key customer requirement, but it also allows you to differentiate your offering from the competition by providing added value. This move creates a revenue-generating path, as customers are often willing to invest in premium solutions that increase the performance and resilience of their applications. By packaging VMware Avi Load Balancer as an advanced service, you can make it a basic upgrade option for customers looking to scale efficiently in a hybrid cloud environment, gaining additional market share and driving your business growth.
