Economic Uncertainty:
IT Budgets Constrained, Cut, or Frozen?
Learn how to reduce your network and security tools costs by 50 percent now.
See How You Can Stretch Tool Efficiency to Save Millions
With increasing economic headwinds, planning for uncertainly is a top priority. Whether you're a small or large organization, IT budgets are sure to come under heightened scrutiny and are at risk of being frozen or reduced, even as the volume of network traffic is expected to continue increasing.
Do you have a network security and monitoring tools line item in your budget? If so, you can apply a range of traffic optimization techniques to make your current tools 2-5 times more efficient, without reducing their effectiveness. The result? You can potentially reduce your tools budget by 50 percent or more—a savings of more than a million dollars over the first year for the typical mid-sized Gigamon customer1. The charts below show the cumulative tool spend savings over five years for two data centers with various tool types.
The ROI payback period to implement traffic optimization is typically less than nine months1 with the potential for millions of dollars in cost savings over the lifetime of your tools. In some cases, the investment pays for itself on day one through maintenance cost savings.
Cumulative Tool Spend Savings with Traffic Optimization
Whether a large or small tool stack, Gigamon customers consistently achieve significant cost savings utilizing traffic optimization techniques.
"With Gigamon we have the data freely available, and can resolve issues much faster. That contributes to the ROI."
A state and local government says it saw ROI with their investment in Gigamon solutions “immediately” and confirm they saved $1,000,000 or more.
“Gigamon solutions provided a single source of visibility across our physical, virtual, and cloud environments. We were able to reduce tool sprawl, lower costs, and enhance staff efficiency – while achieving ROI payback period of only 6 – 12 months.”
“We have significantly enhanced the use of our other platforms using Gigamon….We’re able to maximize what we do have [resulting in] one less thing we have to buy.”
How Are These Cost Savings Achieved?
Realize savings from optimizing network traffic to tools, without compromising fidelity, by:
Eliminating duplicate packets
Filtering traffic from low-risk applications
Using other techniques like advanced flow slicing
The figure above shows how four different traffic optimization techniques used successively reduce irrelevant traffic significantly.
