Benefits
Achieve deep Azure network and application observability to address challenging use cases.
Eliminate Blind Spots
Gain deep observability across your Azure Cloud environment, delivering plaintext visibility into East-West traffic, powered by Gigamon Precryption® technology.
Enhance User Experience
Feed observability tools enriched application metadata—including workload host details—to speed up troubleshooting and refine policies.
Accelerate Cloud Migrations
Unify on‑prem and Azure environments through a common deep observability pipeline with centralized control and automation.
Extend Azure Traffic Visibility Across Your Hybrid Cloud
Provide on-prem or cloud-based tools with actionable network-derived intelligence into Azure cloud traffic, including interconnected VMs, across your hybrid cloud environment.
Product Details
Achieve Microsoft Azure‑certified visibility across your public cloud. Use GigaVUE® Universal Cloud Tap (UCT) or the agentless Inline V-Series to acquire, select, and send only relevant traffic to your tools—automatically scaling to adapt dynamically with changing VMs and container workloads.
Cloud Tap Modules
Deploy lightweight modules in any Azure VM or node instance with GigaVUE Universal Cloud Tap. Only one module per Azure VM or worker node instance is required, regardless of the number of tools. Prefilter production traffic, mirror it, and send it across any virtual network to GigaVUE V Series nodes and tools.
GigaVUE V Series
Deep observability nodes deployed in one or more VNets aggregate, select, and distribute traffic to tools with a seamless integration with Azure Gateway Load Balancers for an agentless acquisition mechanism. Expand capabilities with GigaSMART® applications, such as Packet De-duplication, Application Intelligence, and GEM for Cloud Workloads.
GigaVUE-FM
Get centralized deep observability orchestration and management. Configure traffic policies for UCT and GigaVUE V Series with a simple drag-and-drop user interface. Supports Azure and third-party orchestration methods, including Terraform.
“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.”

Frequently Asked Questions
GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Azure is a Microsoft Azure-certified tool and part of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. This tool gives you full visibility into the many workloads in Azure for enhanced security and intelligence. With GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Azure, you’ll get insights into your application performance, potential security threats, and more.
GigaVUE Cloud Suite takes a range of steps to enhance your network security operation and facilitate stronger security in Azure Cloud. These include:
- Detailed network-level intelligence
- Comprehensive lateral, inbound, and outbound visibility, including East-West traffic
- Detection of security breaches including malware, rogue software, and data exfiltration
- Tools to decrypt encrypted traffic
- Optimizing and filtering network traffic before passing along to security tools to eliminate irrelevant data and detect threats faster
GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Azure simplifies cloud migrations and other IT processes by sending traffic to your chosen monitoring and security tools. Thanks to our Azure cloud security services, you’ll be able to unify physical and hybrid cloud environments for centralized control and complete automation. All the while, GigaVUE Cloud Suite will be monitoring network traffic and identifying potential threats. This results in a more secure, more streamlined migration process.
GigaVUE Cloud Suite integrates with Microsoft Azure compute APIs to automatically discover new cloud instances, deploy visibility nodes in VNets, and apply advanced traffic intelligence for efficient traffic distribution and load balancing before routing data to security and monitoring tools. This approach minimizes the impact on Azure resources and eliminates the need to install individual agents solely for traffic capture. Gigamon also supports Azure VNet gateways, enabling visibility across interconnected VNets and between cloud and on-premises environments. Additionally, it provides observability for workloads running in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Unlike other monitoring tools, Gigamon Azure Cloud Security monitors all traffic in your Azure environment, including lateral traffic, inbound traffic, outbound traffic, and East-West traffic. This results in faster and more accurate threat detection. Plus, Gigamon Azure Cloud Security isn’t just a traffic monitoring tool. GigaVUE Cloud Suite offers application metadata intelligence to create custom insights that your team can use to better protect your Azure environment.
