Putting NetOps Back in Control

Your network plus our solutions — peace of mind at last.

Managing Your Network — It's Complicated

Your network is a complex tangle of routers, switches and ports — both physical and virtual. It’s on premises, in private and public clouds, and at remote sites. It’s also a host of tools — APM and NPM, SIEMs, firewalls — all hungry for network data. You’ve got to manage it all, as well as pass vital data to security analysts and comply with changing regulations.

It's complex, but Gigamon is here to help. Gigamon is by far the most widely deployed next-generation network packet broker. And our comprehensive set of network visibility, analytics and optimization solutions —the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline — goes beyond aggregating traffic and passing it to tools. It also includes:

  • Broad and deep visibility across your private, public and hybrid cloud environments
  • Full visibility into encrypted traffic flows or sessions
  • Layer 7 visibility to identify applications and reveal app and user behavior
  • Rich application and protocol metadata to enable deeper analytics and more effective monitoring and security tools

By sitting between your tools and the infrastructure layer, Gigamon also drives down infrastructure complexity and makes network management far simpler. Check out this before and after situation — it's that good.

Chaos to Clarity with Gigamon

Putting NetOps Back in Control

Get the Network Performance and Tools ROI You Deserve

Degraded performance, oversubscribed tools and ever-increasing costs. Sound familiar? Change this narrative with help from Gigamon:

  • Application Filtering Intelligence, a pioneering new tool for managing your network, sends only relevant application traffic to tools while filtering out tool-clogging traffic such as social media and videos
  • De-duplication and packet slicing eliminate redundant or irrelevant parts of packets so tools get only what they need for analysis
  • Centralized NetFlow generation offloads this resource-intensive task from routers and switches while generating high-fidelity NetFlow

Say Yes to Consistent High Availability

Uptime — it’s arguably the single most important measure of NetOps success. How does Gigamon help? Take a look at these Gigamon solutions:

  • Inline bypass safely removes single points of failure from inline tools. Fix or replace them without disrupting network operations.
  • Load balancing automatically redistributes traffic in case of tool failure and restores tool availability upon recovery.
  • Flow Mapping® collects line-rate traffic at 100Mb, all the way up to 100Gb from physical and virtual connections, and delivers an optimized feed to lower-rate tools.

For Strong Network Security, Full Visibility Is Necessary

Are you doing everything you can to combat today's sophisticated cyber threats? Unless you’ve got full Layer 2–7 visibility across virtual, container-based and cloud platforms, then the answer is likely “no.” Gigamon gives broad and deep visibility so both you and your security tools can better protect your organization.

  • SSL/TLS Decryption exposes threats hidden in encrypted traffic without sacrificing security tools' performance
  • Application Metadata Intelligence provides rich application and protocol metadata to empower your SIEMs and other analytics tools
  • Application Visualization accurately identifies more than 3,000 applications so shadow IT and port spoofing attempts don’t pass unnoticed

Get All the Benefits of Cloud without the Compromises

How can NetOps remain relevant in a cloud world? Public cloud services and data center virtualization can save money and increase agility, but at the cost of reduced network visibility and control. Managing the user experience and incident response become much more difficult — if not impossible.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite puts NetOps teams back in control. With cloud visibility solutions for the leading public cloud platforms and private cloud technologies, you get:

  • Visibility to monitor performance and troubleshoot workloads more effectively on private cloud and public cloud – whether virtual machine or container environments
  • Vendor-certified solutions that are easy to deploy and automatically support dynamic scaling of VMs
  • A pervasive, unified view of your entire network and the ability to optimize and direct cloud traffic to on-premises or cloud-based tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Network visibility is a key part of network management and optimization, which is why network performance monitoring tools are so essential. What is network visibility? Network visibility is how you’re able to monitor network traffic and devices to get a better understanding of your network.
Monitoring tools simplify network performance management by giving you a comprehensive overview of traffic on your network, allowing you to eliminate security blind spots and discover bottlenecks that could impact the performance of your network. Aggregating traffic to create a centralized monitoring location makes it easier to identify security threats and optimize network performance.

Deep observability plays a key role in network security by providing enhanced network visibility. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline allows users to get a centralized view of traffic in multi-cloud environments, helping to eliminate blind spots and optimize network traffic.
By eliminating duplicate and irrelevant traffic, Gigamon can also help you reduce tool costs by up to 50 percent. You can use the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline to observe East-West, North-South, and container traffic, which makes it a comprehensive solution for any cloud environment. Gigamon can also help simplify network management for work from home employees.

Optimizing resources and maintaining security across both public and private cloud environments can be difficult. If you’re working in a hybrid cloud environment, hybrid network infrastructure management allows you to utilize public and private cloud resources without having to worry as much about performance bottlenecks or cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
With Gigamon Application Filtering Intelligence (AFI), you can identify all the applications on your network and filter out irrelevant traffic by application or families of applications. As a result, you can spend more time focusing on productivity and less time on hybrid cloud security and optimization.

Traffic filtering is the ability to filter out which traffic is sent to which tools. While it’s vital for some applications to send data to security and network performance tools, other data may be irrelevant.
With traffic filtering, you can decide which applications — or families of applications — send traffic to each tool, giving you more control over the flow of traffic. Traffic filtering gives you the power to improve network security by freeing up resources, increasing tool efficiency and capacity, and spending less time manually analyzing network data. As a result, you can save time and money that you can spend focusing on growing your business and offering the best customer experience.

Automated network traffic control solutions monitor and analyze network traffic to determine usage patterns, which then allows them to automatically adjust resources to optimize traffic. Gigamon has the ability to automatically identify applications and analyze the flow of traffic to optimize your network, making it easier to create a seamless multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environment. By filtering out duplicate and irrelevant traffic, Gigamon can also help you improve network performance and cut costs.

“When you oversee a network that processes more than 80Gb per second, it’s important to identify issues related to bandwidth and latency right away, and Gigamon is a crucial partner in this.”
