You can quickly deploy security services to match the speed of application deployment. Ease of Provisioning: You can provision the virtual appliance within a matter of minutes with a predetermined configuration.An ASA can be introduced into Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments and easily used with custom policy-orchestration systems. With it, you can change your security policies and monitoring status and otherwise manage the device. Ease of Management: The Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance offers the Representational State Transfer (REST) API, an HTTP-based interface.One security policy can be deployed for both physical and virtual appliances. ASAv, along with ASA, normalizes the deployment options. Even on a virtual infrastructure, customers use multiple hypervisors to deploy their applications. Increasingly, customers are deploying some parts of an application on physical infrastructure and other parts on virtual infrastructure. Uniform Security across Deployment Domains: You gain uniform security across physical and virtual deployment domains with multiple hypervisors.
