Frequently Asked Questions
A fabric manager is a tool designed to give you complete control over the configuration, management, and operation of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. GigaVUE-FM is designed to work across physical, virtual, and multi-cloud deployments, allowing you to monitor network traffic for threats, direct network traffic, and troubleshoot traffic hot spots. You can use the GigaVUE-FM fabric manager to redirect and reduce traffic, program traffic policies, and schedule device upgrades for hundreds of GigaVUE visibility nodes at the same time. GigaVUE-FM also makes fabric management easier by offering APIs for easy integration with other tools.
One of the key features of the GigaVUE-FM fabric manager is the ability to connect to and manage up to 1,000 Gigamon nodes across multiple locations and up to 3,000 nodes in high-availability locations. GigaVUE-FM is available in the form of a hardware device, but it can also be integrated as a software-only solution for virtual or physical platforms. Closed-loop REST API integration simplifies threat detection and response and allows you to auto-adjust traffic granularity to reduce network traffic. By integrating with public and private cloud platforms, GigaVUE-FM reduces the need for manual intervention and saves you time.
The GigaVUE-FM specifications and scalability are two of the biggest reasons to choose GigaVUE-FM over other fabric management solutions. You can choose between four versions of GigaVUE-FM, with the entry-level solution offering support for up to 50 devices and the most robust solutions offering support for up to 3,000 devices. As your network grows in size and complexity, GigaVUE-FM can grow with it. GigaVUE-FM is also designed to work with a wide range of popular cloud platforms, including AWS AMI, KVM/OpenStack, Microsoft Azure/Hyper-V, Google Cloud Images, Nutanix AHV, and VMware NSX/ESXi.
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is responsible for providing complete network visibility and ensuring the right traffic is directed to security, network, and application performance tools. With GigaVUE-FM, you can get one complete overview of all the physical and virtual Gigamon nodes you’ve connected to the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. Fabric manager configuration is designed for simplicity with GigaVUE-FM, meaning you have access to an easy-to-use GUI that you can use for Flow Mapping and Fabric Mapping, identifying visibility hot spots, and visualizing network topology connectivity.
The GigaVUE-FM fabric manager is specifically designed for easy integration with the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. The hardware version of GigaVUE-FM is a turnkey solution made for ease of use, while integration varies from platform to platform when you’re using the software-only version. You can find instructions for deploying GigaVUE-FM across different platforms on our website, or you can request a fabric manager demo to see how GigaVUE-FM works in real time.
“The fabric manager has a tremendous benefit to centralize all administration and monitoring resources into an integrated platform.”
"We use this large centralizer of traffic and data to optimize the information that transits our physical network and cloud environment”
“Because we are able to see and we are able to secure, we can do a better job of protecting and securing sustainable growth of our revenue.”
"Gigamon has stayed in lockstep with our environments as we’ve migrated from various architectures to include on-premises to the cloud. The consistency and reliability of traffic flows, due to the Gigamon solutions, enable us to make business-driven decisions without compromising IT security."
