Gigamon™ invents innovative network monitoring switches used to retrieve traffic from your network and send customized data streams to your security and monitoring tools. As the leader in intelligent data access technology, Gigamon has deployed thousands of GigaVUE™ Data Access Systems currently in use at over 500 telecom, industrial, manufacturing, financial, research, medical, retail, utility and government networks in over 40 countries worldwide. The Data Access Network (DAN) solution streamlines the deployment and use of multiple network monitoring tools in data centers. GigaVUE is a family of packet aware, data access switches providing aggregation, replication and filtering of critical network traffic. GigaVUE enables full network visibility to all categories of passive monitoring tools. GigaVUE features 10G support, fault tolerant Taps, the ability to share SPAN Ports, aggregate links, map packets & remotely manage network connections.

Create an intelligent Data Access Network (DAN) with GigaVUE and sniffers, security intrusion detections systems, protocol analyzers, VoIP analyzers, data recorders, application performance monitors, compliance monitors or any other Ethernet based passive monitoring tool.

• Filter Packets to relieve oversubscribed monitoring tools
• Increase Network Visibility by utilizing network tool aggregation
• Monitor 10G traffic with existing 1G tools
• Any to Any Connectivity to solve tool deployment problems
• Replicate to Multiple tools to share data sources
• Intelligently Filter and Divide Loads to customize and manage data to different tools
• Supports all Ethernet Media and speeds including 10 Gig
• Scalable Modular Design that allows for graceful expansion
• Tap and SPAN Port contention is resolved immediately
• Reduce Packet Loss to improve monitoring fidelity
• Out-of-Band DAN allows 24 x 7 tool moves, adds and changes without affecting the network

The GigaVUE family features:

• Any to Any Connectivity to solve tool deployment problems
• Aggregate Multiple Links to increase network visibility
• Multicast to Multiple tools to share data sources
• Intelligently Filter and Divide Loads to customize and manage data to different tools.

Features

• Intelligently filter packets at full line rate
• Aggregate primary and secondary links
• Multicast packets from one SPAN or TAP to many tools
• Load divide data streams

Benefits

• Aggregate 10G Links
• Aggregate multiple links to increase network visibility
• Monitor 10G links with legacy 1G or 10G tools
• Keep security tools and monitoring tools plugged in while troubleshooting
• Off-load switches and aggregate VLANS out-of-band
• Share SPAN ports & TAPs

Applications

• Isolate & capture sessions across parallel links and switches
• Share scarce span ports between multiple tools
• Reduce and customize data flow to each tool
• Divide large loads across multiple tools
