Based on a common architecture, VMware and Avi Networks will be able to deliver the industry's only fully software-defined L2-7 networking stack designed for the modern multi-cloud era.
"VMware's goal is to make the data center as simple and straightforward to operate as it can be in the public cloud. Integrating Avi Networks into the growing VMware networking and security portfolio will bring us one step closer to that goal."
explains Tom Gillis, senior vice president and general manager, Networking and Security Business Unit, VMware.
"This acquisition will further advance our vision of the Virtual Cloud Network, where a software-defined distributed network architecture spans the entire infrastructure."
