Product Overview
Meet the latest step in the evolution of Cisco® Adaptive Security Appliances: the Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv).
This appliance brings the power of ASA to the virtual domain and cloud environments. It runs the same software as the physical appliance to deliver proven security functionality.
You can use it to protect virtual workloads within your data center. Later, you can expand, contract, or shift the location of these workloads over time and span physical, virtual, and Public Cloud infrastructures.
Highlights
- Uniform Security across Deployment Domains: You gain uniform security across physical and virtual deployment domains with multiple hypervisors. Increasingly, customers are deploying some parts of an application on physical infrastructure and other parts on virtual infrastructure. Even on a virtual infrastructure, customers use multiple hypervisors to deploy their applications. ASAv, along with ASA, normalizes the deployment options. One security policy can be deployed for both physical and virtual appliances.
- Ease of Management: The Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance offers the Representational State Transfer (REST) API, an HTTP-based interface. With it, you can change your security policies and monitoring status and otherwise manage the device. An ASA can be introduced into Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments and easily used with custom policy-orchestration systems.
- Ease of Provisioning: You can provision the virtual appliance within a matter of minutes with a predetermined configuration. You can quickly deploy security services to match the speed of application deployment. With Smart Software Licensing, the virtual appliance can automatically obtain the entitlements while giving you a single, holistic view of the resources being consumed within your enterprise.
