Application Visualization
Gain visibility into the full breadth of applications across your network.
Application Aware Networking Without the Hassle
Application Visualization is a key component of Gigamon Application Intelligence. Get a complete view of the applications running on your network automatically – no hardwiring ports or writing regular expressions. You can then drill down to see application usage and patterns and the network resources each consumes.
- Automatically identifies more than 3,500+ common business and consumer applications using deep packet inspection
- Classifies applications into families to enable actions to be taken on groups of applications
- Tracks proprietary and custom applications that you designate
- Recognizes mobile applications running within 5G traffic using GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP)
- Dynamically detects new and modified application signatures and enables immediate downloads and App Intel library updates
Gigamon maintains application awareness — even as current applications change and new applications emerge on the scene.
Application Visualization is offered within both the Application Filtering Intelligence and Application Metadata Intelligence services.
Application data is graphically presented through the GigaVUE Fabric Manager.
Identify More Applications with Precision
Gigamon Application Visualization identifies more applications, with more precision, enabling you to share this information across your ecosystem of tools.
- Breadth: Recognizes more than 3,500 common business, IT, mobile, SCADA, ICS and consumer applications
- Accuracy: Precisely identifies applications using deep packet inspection, not spoofable port numbers
- Categorization: Automatically classifies applications for easier application traffic management
- Customization: Lets you add custom and proprietary applications to the list, so these can be tracked as well
- Simplification: Download signatures anytime with no need to update the GigaVUE® operating system
Application Visualization lets you see what applications are being used or misused across your organization. All without extra work on your part.

Monitor and control hidden and unauthorized applications.
Visibility to Prioritize and Optimize
Free up tool capacity by directing specific application traffic to the right tools.
“Our world is more interconnected than ever, with IT networks sometimes co-existing with industrial control systems and IoT devices. With such a large attack surface, it’s vital that organizations move beyond a reactive, compliance-based approach to a dynamic cybersecurity program that integrates real-time visibility in order to mitigate vulnerabilities and threats faster.”
“Without complete visibility into their network traffic, it is impossible to identify high interest traffic, optimize network performance and secure the network. With Gigamon Application Intelligence, our clients are able to visualize, analyze and act on the movement patterns of network applications in real-time based on their individual networking, security and mission needs.”
GigaSMART Features
GigaSMART® offers a number of other essential traffic intelligence services required for active visibility into infrastructure blind spots, including:
NetFlow Generation
Delivering basic Layer 2–4 network traffic data to analysis tools.
Source Port Labeling
Provides context to packets and allows tools to properly assess network behavior and threats based on where they are.
Adaptive Packet Filtering
Identifies patterns across any part of the network packet, including the packet payload.
De-duplication
Targets, identifies and eliminates duplicate packets, blocking unnecessary duplication and sending optimized flows.
Packet Slicing
Truncates packets while preserving the portion of the packet (the protocol headers) required for network analysis.
Advanced Load Balancing
Divides and distributes traffic among multiple tools, so network and security visibility can scale.
Advanced Flow Slicing
Eliminates these issues by slicing payloads and packets from long data flow.
Masking
Provides customizable data protection by overwriting specific packet fields with a set pattern.
Tunneling
Alleviates blindness of business-critical traffic at remote sites, virtualized data centers, or hosted in a public cloud.
Application Visualization
Provides a complete view of the applications running on your network automatically.
Application Filtering Intelligence
Extends Layer 7 visibility to thousands of common and proprietary applications.
Application Metadata Intelligence
Empowers your security information and event management and network performance monitoring tools.
GTP Correlation
Enables mobile service providers to monitor subscriber data in GPRS Tunneling Protocol tunnels.
5G Correlation
Intelligently forward subscriber sessions to specific tools by filtering on subscriber, user device, RAN or network slice IDs.
FlowVUE Flow Sampling
Provides subscriber IP-based flow sampling.
SIP/RTP Correlation
Enables enterprises and service providers to monitor VoIP traffic.
SSL/TLS Decryption
Creates a secure channel between the server and the end user's computer or other devices as they exchange information.
ThreatINSIGHT Sensor
Collect and send rich metadata to the ThreatINSIGHT NDR solution.
