Array Networks' AVX Series Network Hyperconverged Infrastructure platforms combine the flexibility of virtualization with the high performance of dedicated networking and security hardware. Designed for enterprise and service provider data centers, the AVX enables the consolidation of various network services, including next-generation firewalls, SSL VPNs, load balancing, web application firewalls, and IPS/IDS, from both Array Networks and third-party vendors. These platforms achieve superior performance over general-purpose servers by dedicating and virtualizing resources like CPU, RAM, I/O, and SSL on a per-virtual appliance (VA) basis. The AVX simplifies the deployment of virtual network functions through automated and optimized tasks such as resource assignment, CPU pinning, NUMA boundary management, and physical/virtual port mapping, ensuring guaranteed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and faster time-to-market.

Features & Benefits

• Consolidation of Network Functions: Hosts a mix of Array Networks' ADC, VPN, WAF, SSLi and third-party vendor solutions like NGFW, IPS.
• Guaranteed Performance SLAs: Dedicated resources for hypervisor management and VAs ensure consistent performance.
• Automated Service Provisioning: Eliminates manual resource assignment, CPU pinning, NUMA boundaries, and port mapping.
• Service Chaining & Orchestration: Enables creation of service chains linking multiple VAs for defense-in-depth.
• Hardware-Accelerated SSL Encryption: Offers virtual load balancing with hardware-accelerated SSL for enhanced performance.
• High Availability Architecture: Provides HA for both platforms and VAs to ensure business continuity.
• Unmatched Density: Supports deployment of up to 64 VMs on a single platform with flexible instance sizes.
