Designed for Intelligence from Start to Finish
Gigamon has designed a truly comprehensive traffic intelligence solution – from the physical appliance to the operating system to the application layer. These capabilities can be applied to any industry vertical from service providers to enterprises such as finance and healthcare to government and education.
Starting at the physical layer, GigaVUE® Visibility Appliances collect, filter and process network traffic at high speeds from across your infrastructure. The underlying software operating system, GigaVUE-OS, helps to efficiently distribute traffic and secure your infrastructure while the industry-leading GigaSMART® traffic intelligence applications optimize traffic monitoring and analysis.
With GigaSMART traffic intelligence, you can selectively deliver the right traffic to the right security and network traffic monitoring tools, both inline and out of band. Gigamon offers a next-generation network packet broker (NPB) that uses traffic intelligence to deliver optimized traffic to the tools. The resulting benefit: Improve the overall ROI of your security and monitoring tools, deploy security initiatives faster and stop tool sprawl.
GigaSMART® is a comprehensive set of technologies that extend the intelligence and value of the Gigamon Visibility and Analytics Fabric™ by enhancing the monitoring of your network infrastructure and improving security and network traffic monitoring tool performance. The GigaSMART applications increase ROI of your inline and out-of-band security and monitoring tools. A range of applications are available, including:
- De-duplication, Advanced Flow Slicing and Application Filtering: Eliminate unnecessary traffic analysis of irrelevant data.
- Masking: Hide confidential data to help meet compliance requirements.
- SSL Decryption: Offload the processor-intensive task of SSL decryption, including TLS 1.3, from your tools so they can focus on specialized security and monitoring functions.
- 5G and CUPS Correlation and GTP Correlation to intelligently manage subscriber voice, video and data traffic
- Metadata and NetFlow IPFIX Generation: Feed application aware metadata to your security information and event management systems (SIEMs), network monitoring and application performance tools to dramatically improve productivity.
GigaVUE-OS enables the appliance to do more than just send aggregated traffic to tools. It provides:
- Flow Mapping®: Sends network traffic through a set of user-defined map rules to the tools and applications that secure, monitor and analyze your network.
- Load balances traffic across monitoring and security tools to reduce tool oversubscription.
- Logical Bypass: Detects failures proactively and forwards traffic either to other tools or to the network.
GigaVUE Visibility Appliances range in capacity to address the increasing volumes of data and network speeds. Features support and complement an integrated and intelligent approach to security and network monitoring with:
- Inline Bypass: Helps to maintain security and performance in the event of a failure. In addition, removing, upgrading or adding tools has little to no impact on network performance and no longer requires waiting on maintenance windows.
- GigaSMART: Provides traffic intelligence applications through a physical module or built-in functionality on the visibility appliance as well as with cloud and virtualized solutions.

Customers Have Saved Millions
See how much you can save with Gigamon.
“My highest priority was finding a solution that allowed us to watch more than the ocean of data passing at the network border, that allowed us to sharpen our focus on the data we care about most. Now, we feel more comfortable that we’re not missing traffic and are better able to highlight and inspect traffic of interest to reduce false positives and optimize inline security tool performance.”
John Hoyt • Security Information and Operations Director • Clemson University
“Gigamon is traditionally thought of as a network efficiency platform, but the underlying technology has radical implications in cybersecurity as well. Visibility of encrypted packets is more of a must-have than a like-to-have, and intelligent traffic handling is a requisite in optimizing bandwidth and reducing storage costs.”
Chris Kessel • Director of Research Worldwide Security Products • IDC
