Cloud Cost Optimization and Savings

Cloud cost optimization is the practice of lowering organizational spending with public cloud providers, while retaining required services without compromising performance. This is typically achieved through understanding how cloud providers charge for various components and services, and performing intentional planning, design, and component selection, which could include third party components and services.

Network visibility costs in public cloud typically include, but are not limited to, a packet mirroring service, a packet transport service, a load balancing service, compute and storage for tool sensors, and associated licensing.

The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline offers a cost-effective alternative to default services for packet mirroring, transport, and load balancing. GigaVUE Cloud Suite offers a cost-effective alternative to default cloud services by providing superior visibility, automated scaling, and consistent management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite is a core component of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. It offers a cost-effective solution for cloud visibility, eliminating the need for expensive default services. The GigaVUE^® Universal Cloud Tap (UCT) captures traffic efficiently, and the GigaVUE V Series virtual packet broker provides intelligent routing and load balancing. This combined approach delivers superior visibility and cloud cost management.

GigaVUE V Series can often be deployed without additional agents to maximize cloud cost savings. Even when a GigaVUE Universal Cloud Tap is needed, it operates independently of applications, minimizing overhead. In container environments, the Universal Cloud Tap runs as an agentless pod, further reducing complexity and costs.
