Part of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, GigaVUE Cloud Suite™ provides security and monitoring tools full network visibility across private, public and hybrid cloud environments, consisting of:
Together, these eliminate blind spots as you move workloads to and within the cloud, significantly reducing security and non-compliance risks.
As the central traffic handling function of GigaVUE Cloud Suite, GigaVUE V Series provides a range of capabilities for real-time handling and processing of workload communication traffic within both private and public clouds:
GigaVUE V Series, within GigaVUE Cloud Suite, supports acquisition and processing of traffic from multiple cloud infrastructures:
Gigamon offers comprehensive solutions for AWS and Azure environments that acquire, aggregate, optimize and distribute traffic from cloud environments with:
Gigamon offers solutions for private and hybrid cloud infrastructures based on Kubernetes, Nutanix, OpenStack and VMware. They acquire, aggregate, optimize and distribute traffic to security and monitoring tools within the cloud. Key attributes include:
A virtual node is a software-defined entity that represents a logical grouping of resources or a specific network function. It's not a physical piece of hardware, but rather a representation of a network component that exists within a virtualized environment, often in the cloud. Virtual nodes play a key role in providing deep observability into the cloud, giving you complete network visibility across private, public and hybrid cloud environments. Once traffic is acquired by virtual taps, it’s handled by virtual nodes and GigaVUE-FM. These virtual nodes are an essential part of the GigaVUE Cloud Suite.
The GigaVUE Cloud Suite is a collection of tools that give you deep observability into the cloud with multi-cloud visibility. First, traffic is collected by virtual taps as it moves through virtual machines (VMs) and containers. Next, this traffic is brokered, optimized, and distributed by GigaVUE V Series nodes. The GigaVUE-FM fabric manager dynamically tracks workloads to help enhance security.
One of the biggest differences between physical and virtual nodes is the reliability. Large enterprises often rely on physical nodes to broker large volumes of traffic because they’re less likely to fail as a result of processing too much traffic. The downside is that physical nodes take up space and can be more complex to set up and configure.
Virtual nodes are a simple solution for cloud visibility, but they’re more prone to failing due to a lack of memory or processing power. The GigaVUE V Series nodes are designed for reliability, so this is less of an issue with the GigaVUE Cloud Suite.
Virtual nodes are ideal for environments requiring flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency, while physical nodes are better suited for high-performance, secure, or specialized applications. The choice depends on specific use cases and organizational requirements.
GigaVUE V Series nodes can support traffic from multiple cloud environments, which means you can reduce tool costs and enhance security regardless of your cloud configuration. GigaVUE V Series nodes are designed for easy integration with public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. GigaVUE V Series nodes also integrate with cloud-native monitoring and observability tools to derive real-time intelligence from traffic.
One of the biggest benefits of using GigaVUE V Series nodes over physical nodes is the fact that they’re so easily scalable. With physical nodes, you have to add more physical equipment to scale up to match increasing traffic volumes. A virtual node can scale with increasing traffic demands, which makes it a cost-effective monitoring and security solution. The entire GigaVUE Cloud Suite is designed to be scaled with the size of your business, which is why it’s a trusted solution for both small and large enterprises.
The GigaVUE Cloud Suite is one of the simplest ways to enhance network security and performance through network monitoring, but there are several parts of the GigaVUE Cloud Suite.
