Granular filtering and forwarding
An intelligent, scalable technology offered as part of GigaVUE OS, Flow Mapping® takes line-rate traffic at 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb or 100Gb from a network tap or a SPAN/mirror port (physical or virtual) and sends it through a set of user-defined map rules to the tools and applications that secure, monitor and analyze IT infrastructure. Flow Mapping provides granularity and scalability above and beyond the capabilities of connection- and ACL filter-based technologies by addressing the problems inherent when going beyond small numbers of connections or when more than one traffic distribution rule is required.
Flow Mapping has many benefits:
- Granular control over distinct traffic streams with parallel actions
- Optimized tool performance
- Visibility into all traffic
- Replicated and/or distributed traffic across multiple tools
- Visibility as a service across silos within the IT organization
- Scalability to hundreds of network and tool ports
- Manipulation of packets with GigaSMART
Flow Mapping: just one of GigaVUE-OS fabric services
GigaVUE OS offers other essential fabric services required for active visibility into infrastructure blind spots, including:
- Clustering: Enables multiple heterogeneous devices to be combined and managed as one logical node. Allows utilization of capabilities of other nodes within the cluster.
- GigaStream® : Innovative technology that intelligently distributes network traffic to multiple monitoring tools for maximum security and performance monitoring
- Inline Bypass: for security application resiliency
