GigaVUE-HD4

High-density, Medium Form-Factor Visibility Fabric Node

A significant challenge faced by IT professionals is to effectively manage and monitor infrastructure in the midst of rapidly rising volumes of network traffic.  The GigaVUE-HD4 addresses this challenge with its modular, high-density and high-bandwidth design.

The 5RU, rack-mountable, chassis-based GigaVUE-HD4 provides intelligent traffic visibility in a smaller form factor for today’s faster speed networks.  With up to a 1.2Tb backplane, it can accommodate speeds of 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb and 100Gb. 

A modular design and clustering capabilities allows the GigaVUE-HD4 to easily scale as network needs evolve.  It can accommodate thousands of map rules and features some of the industry’s highest density line cards.

The GigaVUE fabric nodes are designed to work together to create an intelligent and pervasive Visibility Fabric architecture to aggregate, replicate and filter traffic flows from across broad networks to the appropriate, centralized management, monitoring or security systems.
