GigaVUE-FM
Fabric manager for intuitive single-pane-of-glass orchestration and management.
Centralized Orchestration and Management
GigaVUE-FM fabric manager simplifies and automates the configuration, management, and operation of the Gigamon Hawk Deep Observability Pipeline, with unified visibility across physical, virtual, and multi-cloud deployments. With an intent-based policy automation approach, NetOps, SecOps, and CloudOps teams are more efficient at creating and deploying policies at scale based on their roles. A centralized, rich, and customizable dashboard provides easy-to-use programmable APIs for ease of integration with tools and SDN controllers, role-based access control, end-to-end topology visualization, simplified workflows, external SNMP support, and alarm management to reduce mean time to resolution.
Available either as a hardware appliance or as software-only on virtual or physical platforms, each GigaVUE-FM instance can manage up to 1,000 visibility nodes across multiple locations and up to 3,000 visibility nodes in high-availability FM arrangements.

- Network Operations: Configure, direct and control traffic in the network to the relevant monitoring and analysis tools
- Network Security: Detect, react and respond to emerging threats using packet or flow-based traffic analysis
- Public and Private Cloud: Automatically monitor and secure physical, virtual and cloud workload's traffic with ease
- InfoSec and NetOps: Identify, monitor and troubleshoot traffic hot spots to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR)
In dynamic and large-scale environments, the demand for more agility, automation, and security across the IT infrastructure is increasing. GigaVUE-FM enables automation through Gigamon Hawk pre-defined python modules and Ansible as a framework to invoke GigaVUE-FM REST APIs. This enables the provisioning and management of network traffic and data accessed by the Gigamon visibility nodes within your network. These APIs can be used by traffic monitoring tools, security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) tools, IT operations management, and SDN controllers to:
- Discover and collect inventory information of Gigamon Hawk to be used for capacity planning or configuration management database (CMDB) analysis
- Update traffic flows in Gigamon Hawk for network traffic redirection or reduction
- Program traffic policies to respond to new threat patterns, such as decrypting SSL/TLS, generating NetFlow, or even blocking flows in the network

GigaVUE-FM
Learn how GigaVUE-FM (Fabric Manager) provides overall management for small or large deployments in physical, virtual and cloud environments.
"Gigamon has stayed in lockstep with our environments as we’ve migrated from various architectures to include on-premises to the cloud. The consistency and reliability of traffic flows, due to the Gigamon solutions, enable us to make business-driven decisions without compromising IT security."
“Gigamon GigaVUE Is A Powerful Tool”
[We use] centralized orchestration FM to manage our gear and customize our map flows...We are defining and setting up containers and filters for gigastream traffic so that we can manage and facilitate the traffic to send a copy to other monitoring tools... We are also working towards getting all the optical taps installed so that we can obtain a copy of the inline traffic on the wire to be forwarded to the GigaSmart engine to perform dedup, header-stripping and packet slicing, etc.
