Editor’s note: We’re experimenting with a new transcription program to see if it’s feasible to provide podcast transcripts. Here’s the lightly-edited output from this Tech Byte.
[00:00:00] Drew Conry-Murray: [00:00:00] Welcome to tech bites, a quick dose of conversation about what’s new and compelling and networking. Today’s sponsor is Ava , and we’re going to talk about multi-cloud networking, including how to get operational visibility and control across your public clouds. Our guest is Rod Stuhlmuller. He is VP of product marketing at Aviatrix.
[00:00:16] Rod, welcome to the podcast and can you give us some brief context and overview of what Aviatrix does.
[00:00:22] Rod Stuhlmuller: [00:00:22] Well, Aviatrix specializes in multicloud networking. We have a software platform that runs in the cloud and gives you the ability to actually control the native constructs in the cloud, but also adds additional functionality, features, advanced capabilities that go across multiple clouds, regardless of the underlying constructs.
[00:00:43] Greg Ferro: [00:00:43] Now, this is really interesting to me, rod, because one of the things that we’re being talking about offline when I talk to clients these days is they’re saying that we now have a problem where we’re in Azure and Google and Alibaba, you know, and stitching them all together is hard. The two things that I took away from this, as you’ve got the [00:01:00] controller, you’ve got the SDN platform, which does the orchestration, but your data plane is using those native constructs, which is interesting.[00:01:06] Now, we’re gonna talk about that later on, but I did just want to highlight it, um, before we get started that you’re doing it using the native .
[00:01:13] Rod Stuhlmuller: [00:01:13] Yeah. It’s a combination of the native constructs and advanced features that we add to it because the native constructs don’t always provide all of the capabilities that the enterprises want.
[00:01:24] They had, they’re used to what they do on prem, and now they want that same kind of visibility and control that they’ve had on prem. They want it in the cloud. It’s just not there.
[00:01:35] Drew Conry-Murray: [00:01:35] So we just actually recorded a heavy networking session with a couple of years solution architects. So that show will be coming out soon.
[00:01:41] There’s lots of good crunchy technical detail in there. Let’s go a little bit higher level for this episode. What’s the core value proposition for customers?
[00:01:50] Rod Stuhlmuller: [00:01:50] Well, you know, customers really like talking with us because we bring them in architecture and we ...
