Acquire a New Level of Multi-Cloud Observability
Extend deep observability into your multi-cloud infrastructure for security, performance, and reduced operational costs.
Gain Deep Observability Across Multi-Cloud Infrastructures
Over 90 percent of organizations are embracing hybrid, multi-cloud strategies according to Gateway Research (July 2021, Gigamon). Gaining insight into the data-in-motion across these infrastructures is foundational to security and compliance and maximizing operational performance. However current approaches to monitoring multi-cloud environments rely on a myriad of tools, which makes achieving this level of insight a challenge.
Only the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline provides pervasive deep observability into data-in-motion between on-premises, virtual, and public clouds—and the tools used to secure and manage them. Gigamon harnesses actionable network-level intelligence to amplify the power of observability tools, going beyond current approaches that rely exclusively on metrics, events, logs, and traces (MELT).
ESG TECHNICAL VALIDATION
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline provides end-to-end observability and network security.
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline ensures visibility and security across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures. It enables organizations to realize the full transformational promise of the cloud by:
- Extending security and compliance postures to the cloud, to minimize risk and accelerate cloud migration and adoption
- Providing cloud-native monitoring and observability tools with real-time network intelligence derived from packets, flows and application metadata to deliver defense in depth and complete performance management
- Adding intelligence to this data using techniques such as de-duplication, filtering, and metadata reduces the amount of traffic sent to tools and increases its relevance
- Reducing usage of cloud resources and bandwidth to optimize efficiency and costs
How Gigamon Can Help
Gigamon acquires, brokers, and transforms tool traffic in a consistent way across all infrastructures. It extends the value of cloud, security, and observability tools with real-time network intelligence derived from packets, flows and application metadata to deliver proactive, defense-in-depth and complete performance management across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.
Gigamon also optimizes efficiency by reducing traffic to tools using proven GigaVUE-FM and GigaSMART® functions. Together, these capabilities empower enterprises to achieve the full agility of a resilient digital infrastructure without risk.
Deep multi-cloud observability
GigaVUE-FM provides consistent UI and capabilities for easier management, integrating and amplifying the power of cloud-native monitoring and third-party tools for deep observability.
Extending security, compliance
GigaVUE Cloud Suite provides packet level visibility to existing and cloud-native tools to deliver a consistent, proactive security posture across all infrastructures and meets PII requirements.
Improving application intelligence
Application filtering identifies unauthorized apps and behavior and reduces traffic to tools for efficiency and bandwidth, while application metadata intelligence reduces traffic to tools by 80%.
“Because traditional network monitoring tools struggle with visibility into cloud activity, increasing cloud adoption will heighten the presence and criticality of network blind spots. Here, cloud visibility and control problems can best be solved by next-generation cloud visibility solutions like those from Gigamon.”
“Deep Observability is important for us because we have a large segmented network. Gigamon allows us the ability to monitor our all traffic, including East-West, not just traffic coming in and out.”
The GigaVUE® V Series allows us to see East-West traffic — not just traffic coming in and out of the organization. Now we see traffic within the organization.”

Frequently Asked Questions
When you’re working with software and data across several different cloud platforms, multi-cloud management allows you to maintain the security of your data and optimize workflows across each platform. Effective multi-cloud infrastructure allows you to reduce vendor dependency and costs, minimize the effect of potential outages, and improve data response times by providing local access to people based on their location. However, identity orchestration in multi-cloud environments is a key part of making sure you understand your multi-cloud infrastructure and how you can optimize your resources to improve efficiency.
The primary difference between multi-cloud and hybrid cloud setups is the type of cloud services they use. Hybrid cloud configurations feature a combination of public and private cloud platforms, with private platforms either hosted in-house by the organization or hosted by a third-party data center. Multi-cloud setups are any configurations that involve public cloud services from multiple providers, but multi-cloud setups can also include private clouds like you might find in a hybrid cloud configuration. If a multi-cloud configuration also includes private cloud services, it’s both a multi-cloud and a hybrid cloud.
When you choose a single cloud provider, you’re limiting the amount of options you have at your disposal in terms of cloud services. With multi-cloud infrastructure, you can choose the most cost-effective cloud services from the provider who offers the best solution for your needs. Using various cloud services also means you don’t have to worry about everything going offline when a cloud provider has an outage. If you need to make any changes to the allocation of resources or scale up, a multi-cloud strategy gives you more options for added agility.
Multi-cloud security is one of the biggest challenges when you’re operating within a multi-cloud environment, but multi-cloud observability is a key part of ensuring everything is secure across multiple cloud platforms. Multi-cloud observability allows you to monitor the performance and health of devices, applications, and services across several cloud platforms at once. When you’re using multiple cloud platforms, it’s important to have the ability to monitor each platform to quickly identify and respond to threats, pinpoint bottlenecks, and make smart decisions that save you money and improve efficiency. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline gives you a detailed look at network traffic across multiple cloud providers to simplify multi-cloud monitoring.
Migrating your digital assets to a handful of cloud platforms might sound like a lot of work, but multi-cloud migration is doable as long as you plan ahead and follow the right steps. It’s important to make sure you select the right cloud providers and choose one of the 7 R’s of cloud migration to simplify the migration. Your plan should include timelines, technical processes, and migration goals. As you migrate your assets across multiple cloud platforms, you can test and validate to make sure everything is working as intended.
