Cisco ASAv provides security in a virtual machine (VM) form factor to address security needs in virtual environments. It runs as a VM inside a hypervisor in a virtual host. Most of the features that are supported on a physical Cisco ASA by Cisco ASA software are supported on Cisco ASAv as well. Cisco ASAv supports site-to-site VPN, remote-access VPN and clientless VPN functionalities as supported by physical Cisco ASA devices.
Cisco ASAv uses Cisco Smart Licensing to validate its entitlements. Cisco Smart Licensing makes it easier to deploy, manage, and track virtual instances of Cisco ASAv running on customer premises.
