Solution OverviewMigrate from Cisco ACE to a NextGeneration Load Balancing Solutionfrom Avi Networks and CiscoApplications in your data center and your IT operations demand agile, cost-effectiveload-balancing solutions. The Avi Vantage Platform and the Cisco Cloud ServicesPlatform (CSP) 2100, Cisco’s network functions virtualization (NFV) platform, offera software-based approach to help you migrate from the Cisco Application ControlEngine (ACE) with flexible and elastic application delivery services. This integratedsolution enables faster application rollouts, simpler troubleshooting, and automationat significant savings in operational and licensing costs. 2017 Cisco AVI Networks.

OverviewCustomers using Cisco ACE for load balancing need to migrate to another solution soon because Cisco hasexited the application delivery market and announced the end-of-life for Cisco ACE. Cisco ACE softwarereleases are no longer supported and Cisco recommends that its customers running Cisco ACE make thetransition as soon as possible.Until now, enterprises had little choice but to swap out Cisco ACE for an appliance-based load balancer fromanother vendor. However, modern data centers need to run a combination of cloud-native applications builton microservices architectures alongside traditional applications. Traditional architectures and hardwarecentric load balancers are proving to be too inflexible to provide cost-effective scaling and to handle modernapplication architectures driven by automation, multi-cloud requirements, and programmable self-service.Avi Networks and Cisco have partnered to provide a Cisco ACE replacement solution. This solution combinesflexible, analytics-driven load-balancing software (Avi Vantage Platform) deployed on high-performance NFVPlatform called the Cisco CSP 2100. The combined solution provides a highly automated, elastic, softwarebased approach to load balancing with savings of more than 50 percent in total cost of ownership (TCO)compared to traditional load-balancing solutions.Application Delivery Challenges in Modern Data CentersModern data centers use webscale technologies to optimize and automate computing and networkinginfrastructure. These environments use standard x86 servers for computing and can centrally manageinfrastructure as a fluid collection of resources and provide transparent scaling through dynamic addition ofcomputing resources. However, load balancing and delivery of application services have proved to be moredifficult. Enterprises have had little choice but to use inflexible hardware application delivery controllers(ADCs) or low-performance, clumsy virtual appliances. These appliances are often overprovisioned and causebusinesses to overspend to gain the necessary performance and availability. They present several challenges: They have no central management, leading to inefficient operations because each device must bemanaged separately. They are not designed for cloud-native applications with lots of east-west traffic. The use of proprietary hardware leads to expensive overprovisioning without elastic scalability. They cannot address per-application or per-service load-balancing needs. They do not offer any visibility into the application or network to help resolve problems. They cannot scale up or down in response to traffic and without manual intervention. They lack the consistent architecture needed for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud use cases.Figure 1 shows the differences between traditional designs and modern programmable infrastructure.Figure 1.

Cisco Cloud Services Platform2100 and Avi Vantage PlatformWith the Cisco CSP 2100 and Avi Vantage Platform,enterprises and service providers can replace theirCisco ACE appliances with a flexible turn-key loadbalancing solution on an industry-standard NFVplatform that scales elastically without breakingtheir budgets.servers and virtual machines in their critical networkinfrastructure. Delivering network functions on anappliance form factor using standard hardwaresimplifies server management and provides ascalable approach to network functions.The Cisco CSP 2100 is an NFV platform that supportsfully virtualized networking components andautomation of network services. It uses: Standard x86 serversCisco Cloud Services Platform2100 Virtualized and software-based functions API-based approach (representational statetransfer [REST] API and NetConf/Yang)The Cisco CSP 2100 is a turn-key and open datacenter NFV platform for Cisco and third-party virtualnetwork functions (VNFs). NFV virtualizes networkingfunctions and runs them as software in cloudlike infrastructure. NFV represents a fundamentalarchitectural shift for network engineers andnetwork administrators who are concerned aboutpatch management and updates for standard x86 Elastic scale-out architectureThe Cisco CSP 2100 is built on the Linux OperatingSystem. Its convenient appliance form factorprovides the agility of software with the performancebenefits of hardware. Customers can now run anassortment of virtualized network functions on asingle standard platform (Figure 2).Figure 2.

The platform isdesigned on software-defined principles with separate control (Avi Controller) and data planes (Avi ServiceEngine distributed load balancers). It delivers the capabilities of an enterprise-class ADC in an elastic, softwareonly solution. The platform provides central management over a distributed load-balancing fabric deployedclose to individual applications (Figure 3). 2017 Cisco AVI Networks. All rights reserved.3

The centralized management - critical to both the Avi Vantage Platform and the Cisco CSP2100 - helps ensure that administrators can efficiently roll out elastic load-balancing and application-monitoringcapabilities with industry-leading performance. With a single Cisco CSP 2100 appliance supporting tens of Gbpsof throughput, tens of thousands of SSL transactions per second (TPS), and several million concurrent connections,performance is not a concern for network functions. In addition, the system can transparently scale to severalterabits per second (Tbps) of throughput and millions of SSL TPS as a single load-balancing fabric.Cisco CSP 2100 and Avi Vantage offer these benefits: Convenience of an NFV appliance with the flexibility of software Elimination of server and patch management concerns High-performance load balancing with elastic, on-demand scaling Greater than 50 percent TCO savings with lower acquisition and operating costs Powerful application, security, and end-user insights and analyticsTable 1 presents the mapping between Cisco ACE appliances, their respective performance capabilities, andthe corresponding Cisco CSP 2100 and Avi Service Engine sizing.
