GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Nutanix

Network and application visibility for hyperconverged private clouds.

Secure and Optimize Your Nutanix Environment

GigaVUE Cloud Suite™ for Nutanix provides in-depth visibility to enhance tool effectiveness, optimize performance, and accelerate troubleshooting of private cloud environments. You can aggregate and optimize traffic from your Nutanix deployments with the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. This provides centralized control, allowing the right traffic to be forwarded to the right tools.

Nutanix Prism can instantiate Gigamon GigaVUE Cloud Suite with GigaVUE® Universal Cloud Tap (UCT) instances to monitor and control operations. Compute VMs can also be directed to copy micro-segment traffic and send to GigaVUE visibility nodes.

Product Details

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Nutanix, a foundational component of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, works seamlessly with your Nutanix environment to provide new levels of insight and control over your private cloud environments. It features advanced application intelligence to identify applications and generate metadata.

Universal Cloud Tap VMs

UCT VMs acquire pertinent workload packets, provide VM/port filtering, and send copies of micro-segmented traffic to visibility nodes.

GigaVUE HC Series

Distributed GigaVUE HC Series visibility nodes support traffic aggregation and intelligent GigaSMART® processing.

GigaVUE-FM

GigaVUE-FM uses Flow Mapping® technology to direct incoming traffic to user-selected tools and provide centralized management.

Nutanix complies with the ISF Standard of Good Practice, ISO 27001/2, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and key controls from SOC2. Nutanix has several security teams that work together to ensure it’s secure, including a Corporate IT Governance, Risk & Compliance team, a Corporate IT Security Engineering team, and a Corporate IT Security Operations team. While Nutanix security is generally considered to be good, you can make it even better with additional cloud visibility solutions, like GigaVUE Cloud Suite.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Nutanix is designed to give you greater visibility and control over the Nutanix platform. You can use GigaVUE Cloud Suite alongside the Nutanix security dashboard to monitor and optimize traffic to ensure the right traffic is being sent to each tool.
GigaVUE Universal Cloud Tap (UCT) instances can also be used to monitor and control operations, giving you a high-level overview of your Nutanix environment. While Nutanix Flow security is effective, it’s better when you combine it with the power of GigaVUE Cloud Suite.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Nutanix allows you to harness the power of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline to get complete visibility of your Nutanix environment. You can use the tools within our cloud suite to aggregate and redirect traffic, eliminate manual processes and errors, and simplify network management with full optimization.
With GigaVUE Cloud Suite, you get complete visibility into apps, automatic identification for more than 3,500 apps, and improved security that helps you eliminate lateral blind spots. As a result, you get more bang for your buck without having to worry about the security of your cloud environment.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite is designed to enhance the performance of Nutanix in part by optimizing traffic processing and distribution. GigaVUE provides complete visibility into apps with reduced load times on computer instances and tools, and it can automatically identify more than 3,500 apps. Granular traffic selection allows you to more precisely and accurately monitor and control the flow of network traffic. Unlike other tools that can result in duplicated packets and excessive bandwidth use, GigaVUE Cloud Suite is designed to help you get a better understanding of traffic flows to optimize for security and performance.

One of the biggest benefits of GigaVUE Cloud Suite is its ability to scale with the applications you’re already using. As your Nutanix cloud environment changes and you configure Nutanix settings differently, GigaVUE solutions can scale to maintain Nutanix Flow network security. You can use GigaVUE-FM with G-vTAP to monitor the flow of traffic whether you’re running a few apps or dozens of them. Nutanix is a powerful tool on its own, but GigaVUE Cloud Suite helps unleash the true power of Nutanix.
