GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack

Virtual network visibility solutions for OpenStack private clouds.

Rapidly Provision Workloads and Ensure Security

Extend your security and compliance posture to your OpenStack environments to reduce time to detect threats and troubleshoot application performance issues. Eliminate any blind spots caused by network function virtualization (NFV).

With the integration of GigaVUE-FM fabric manager and OpenStack Controller, instantiating and configuring workload visibility elements accelerates migration of production-ready applications to these clouds. Reduce complexity through a single platform for visibility across cloud and physical infrastructures with GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack, so you can:

  • Simplify traffic orchestration through use of monitoring sessions
  • Automatically modify and scale high-performance visibility nodes
  • Boost tool ROI by re-using existing network tools for OpenStack and by sending only relevant, optimized traffic to tools

Monitoring traffic flows is one of the most important aspects of network security, and that’s what OpenStack monitoring allows you to do. You can use GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack to reduce time to detect threats and troubleshoot performance issues. You can also eliminate lateral blind spots caused by network function virtualization (NFV) with the power of Gigamon Precryption. The GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack allows you to use a single platform to simplify OpenStack performance monitoring, reducing the need for additional OpenStack monitoring tools.

The GigaVUE Cloud Suite can help you optimize OpenStack traffic by providing a high-level overview of all your traffic flows. Once you understand how traffic flows through your network, you can streamline content and intelligently process and send data to tools with GigaVUE Cloud Suite. It’s also easy to set up GigaVUE Cloud Suite with OpenStack because it automatically identifies the cloud infrastructure, deploys visibility nodes, and uses intelligence to send the right traffic to your security and monitoring tools.

All of our cloud solutions are designed to scale with your OpenStack environment, so you don’t have to worry about setting up additional security and monitoring tools when your OpenStack environment grows. On the other hand, GigaVUE Cloud Suite can scale down if you choose to downsize your OpenStack environment, which can help reduce cloud costs.
We believe scalability and flexibility are two of the most important aspects of effective cloud solutions, which is why the GigaVUE Cloud Suite is easily scalable. If you’re not sure if GigaVUE Cloud Suite is right for your OpenStack environment, reach out to our sales team to learn more.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite is designed for optimal compatibility with popular cloud operating systems, including the Google Cloud Platform, AWS, and Nutanix. You can use GigaVUE Cloud Suite to monitor traffic across various cloud environments, configure Nutanix settings, and eliminate blind spots in your network.
GigaVUE Cloud Suite also works in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, making it an all-in-one solution for your cloud observability and security needs. GigaVUE Cloud Suite is even compatible with some of the existing security and monitoring tools you use, so it’s easy to integrate.
