IDC quantifies this value at an annual average of $4.11 million per organization ($230,891 per Avi Service Engine) in the following areas: ▪ Lower costs. With NSX Advanced Load Balancer, interviewed organizations no longer need to overprovision application services, which was necessary with hardware-based ADC appliances. Using NSX Advanced Load Balancer, they can move capacity through software-defined processes to address fluctuations in demand, enabling them to more efficiently use these resources. Further, the software-defined nature of NSX Advanced Load Balancer and its ability to streamline overall capacity makes management application services, such as load balancing, more efficient. ▪ Enhanced agility and elastic scalability. Because NSX Advanced Load Balancer offers software-defined processes, study participants can scale application services in far less time as required for IT and business operations. With VMware, study participants have nearly eliminated lag time for provisioning these resources, changing fundamentally how IT and application development teams leverage application services resources. ▪ Supporting and driving business.

Reduced ADC/Load-Balancing Resource Costs Study participants reported that moving to NSX Advanced Load Balancer has changed how they pay for and consume application On average, these NSX services. On average, these NSX Advanced Load Balancer customers Advanced load balancer reported that they will spend 52% less than they otherwise would customers reported that they Cost-related benefits fall into three categories will spend 52% less than they otherwise would Optimizing use of capacity through software-defined processes. The software-defined nature of NSX Advanced Load Balancer means that network teams can move and provision application service resources with ease, allowing optimal use of capacity through higher utilization rates and reuse. As one survey participant stated Whenever we need more load-balancing capacity with NSX Advanced Load Balancer, we canyust spin It Eliminating need to overprovision Knowing that NsX With NSX Advanced load Advanced Load Balancer offers the agility and scalability required to match business demand eliminates-for all intents Balancer, we re not paying to and purposes- the need for study participants to overprovision due to the overprovision their application services resources to meet software-defined nature of unexpected surges in demand. Commenting on this, one the platform.

We now can meet that more easily and at lower cost with MsX Advanced Load balancer that more easily and at lo cost with NSX Advanced Using commodity hardware. Study participants also ference their ability to avoid vendor lock-in and reduce Balancer hardware costs by running virtualized NSX Advanced Load Balancer environments on less expensive commodity servers compared with costlier appliance-based ADC solutions Study participants reported across the board that they have substantially lowered the cost of providing application services with NsX Advanced Load Balancer. One interviewed NsX Advanced Load Balancer customer customer explained: We are saving money now and expect to save more money on capital and operating expenses while getting optimized services and a more flexible architecture We did a case calculation, comparing licenses and hardware, and estimated that we would save a minimum of 58% for the full stack with sX advanced load balancer More Efficient Application Delivery and Load-Balancing Operations In addition to lower costs in provisioning application services, study participants noted that NsX Advanced Load Balancer has allowed them to more efficiently perform these operations. Previously, they spent too much time -often valuable engineering time-on provisioning and capacity issues and carrying out changes. However, by deploying NSX Advanced Load Balancer, these organizations have freed up network engineering time to take on other projects and support higher priority IT initiatives One study participant explained that, by going from relying on more manual processes for provisioning resources to automated processes with NSX Advanced Load Balancer, it has avoided needing to enlarge its network operations team to handle business growth.

On average, these NSX Advanced Load Balancer customers reported that they will spend 52% less than they otherwise would. Cost-related benefits fall into three categories: ▪ Optimizing use of capacity through software-defined processes. The software-defined nature of NSX Advanced Load Balancer means that network teams can move and provision application service resources with ease, allowing optimal use of capacity through higher utilization rates and reuse. As one survey participant stated: "Whenever we need more load-balancing capacity with NSX Advanced Load Balancer, we can just spin it up." ▪ Eliminating need to overprovision. Knowing that NSX Advanced Load Balancer offers the agility and scalability required to match business demand eliminates — for all intents and purposes — the need for study participants to overprovision their application services resources to meet unexpected surges in demand. Commenting on this, one survey participant explained: "With NSX Advanced Load Balancer, we're not paying to overprovision due to the software-defined nature of the platform [Previously], we had to have more capacity just sitting around before because we needed high availability. We now can meet that more easily and at lower cost with NSX Advanced Load Balancer." ▪ Using commodity hardware. Study participants also referenced their ability to avoid vendor lock-in and reduce hardware costs by running virtualized NSX Advanced Load Balancer environments on less expensive commodity servers compared with costlier appliance-based ADC solutions. Study participants reported across the board that they have substantially lowered the cost of providing application services with NSX Advanced Load Balancer.
