You’ve heard many times that applications have evolved, security perimeters have dissolved, distributed architectures and multi-cloud deployments are the way to go. What about load balancing – the key enabler for application availability, performance, and responsiveness regardless of the underlying infrastructure? Look no further especially if you’re already invested in VMware.
With a software-defined architecture, VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer provides multi-cloud load balancing, intelligent web application firewall, application analytics and container ingress services from the data center to the cloud.
Provide a public cloud like elasticity and ease of management to load balancing with on-demand autoscaling based on traffic demand.
Deploy consistent load balancing policies across on-prem data centers, public clouds, and hybrid clouds like VMware Cloud in AWS, Microsoft Azure VMware Solution, and Google Cloud VMware Engine.
Accelerate application delivery through decision automation with 100% REST APIs. Simplify monitoring and troubleshooting with closed-loop analytics – consumed in SaaS.
Take a test drive prior to your VMware load balancing migration.

ATTEND WEBINARCustomers can migrate load balancing configuration from NSX for vSphere to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer using the NSX-T Migration Coordinators ‘Bring-Your-Own-Topology’ Configuration Only workflow. Alternatively, customers can choose to migrate their load balancers to NSX-T first and then migrate to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer.
Customers can migrate load balancing from NSX-T Data Center to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer using the NSX-T Load Balancer Migration Tool which will be provided by VMware.
To use the Migration Coordinator to migrate load balancing from NSX for vSphere to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer, you must run NSX-V 6.4.4 or later and NSX-T 3.2 or later.
Customers must run VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer 20.1.6 or later.
If in a VCF environment, utilize the Advanced Load Balancing for VMware Cloud Foundation solution to install and configure VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer. If in a standalone NSX environment, install VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer appliances through the NSX-T Data Center UI.
No, VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer’s ‘Basic’ edition can be licensed with NSX Advanced/Enterprise+ licenses. Basic edition provides NSX-T load
balancing equivalent features. To unlock advanced use cases customers can purchase VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer ‘Enterprise‘ edition licenses.
Yes, customers can continue to use NSX-T Data Center UI to configure basic load balancing on VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer.
