Frequently Asked Questions
GigaVUE Cloud Suite for VMware is a cloud observability tool that allows you to get a high-level view of your cloud environment and network traffic. When integrated with VMware, GigaVUE Cloud Suite acquires, optimizes, and distributes network traffic to the appropriate monitoring and security tools. The GigaVUE-FM fabric manager automatically deploys GigaVUE V Series to support your cloud infrastructure as it grows. As a result, you can eliminate lateral blind spots by monitoring traffic between virtual machines.
While VMware is generally considered safe, virtual machines are prone to the same vulnerabilities as physical computers. Keeping your virtual machines up to date is a key part of protecting against viruses and other threats, but you can also use VMware security tools to bolster security and optimize network traffic. GigaVUE Cloud Suite is a simple solution for monitoring and optimizing network traffic in VMware to protect against internal and external threats.
Observability is a key aspect of VMware cloud security, and GigaVUE Cloud Suite gives you better visibility into your virtual machines. With GigaVUE Cloud Suite, you can monitor and redirect network traffic to reduce costs and enhance security. GigaVUE Cloud Suite acquires and aggregates traffic from various virtual machines, using intelligence to route traffic to the correct security and monitoring tools. By eliminating blind spots and reducing downtime, GigaVUE Cloud Suite plays a key role in VMware security.
GigaVUE Cloud Suite is compatible with several types of VMware environments, including VMware ESXi, NSX-T, and VMware Tanzu environments. You can refer to the Gigamon documentation library to learn more about the supported versions of each of these VMware environments. The bottom line is, GigaVUE Cloud Suite makes it easy to build stronger security in various VMware environments.
GigaVUE Cloud Suite is designed to be compatible with various types of cloud environments, including private and public clouds. You can connect GigaVUE Cloud Suite to your private cloud environments to enhance VMware cloud security, or you can use it with a combination of public and private clouds. Our cloud solutions are designed to work with several types of cloud environments and many existing monitoring and security tools, making GigaVUE Cloud Suite easy to integrate with any cloud setup.
“Gigamon solved our problem. We brought GigaVUE Cloud Suite into our network layer, and it enabled us to collect all the traffic data that comes in from the field.”
“Not only are Gigamon’s products quite easy to configure and deploy, but they provide us cost savings in multiple ways.”
“The biggest thing for us is getting the traffic for VMs. There’s a lot of traffic that doesn’t ever hit the wire, so we can’t get it with a SPAN or a TAP. Because it’s VM-to-VM traffic, that’s where we have our biggest blind spots. So that’s a huge advantage of GigaVUE Cloud Suite.”
"It was click, click, click, deploy. The GigaVUE Cloud Suite was really easy to bring up, and we had it running in a matter of days."
