NetOps and InfoSec teams are asked to do more with their existing network monitoring and security tool investments. That’s not easy when traffic volumes and patterns are constantly growing and shifting. As remote working and digital interactions with customers increase, new challenges can arise:
- Oversubscription of network and security tools, such as WAF, IDS and APM, driven by a surge in North-South traffic — all coming in at the same point
- Consumption of expensive network and tool resources on non-core tasks such as SSL/TLS decryption and NetFlow generation
- Existing tools outpaced by newer technologies and faster networks causing reduced throughput and effectiveness
- Conflicting regulatory compliance with differing monitoring and security needs for traffic containing private or sensitive data
With Gigamon, there’s no need to upgrade now, or rip and replace the tools you’ve invested in. We can help you get more out of the tools you have in place while you prioritize network traffic.
How Gigamon Can Help
Send Optimized Traffic to Tools
Prioritize network traffic going to tools so you can delay new investments while increasing effectiveness and performance.
- Apply Gigamon Traffic Intelligence, including packet De-duplication, Packet Slicing and Advanced Flow Slicing to cut unnecessary packet payload and conserve valuable bandwith
- Use Application Intelligence to identify and remove low-risk, less important application traffic
Offload Non-Core Tasks
Gigamon offloads computationally-intensive tasks from tools and network infrastructure and does them better.
- Get centralized SSL/TLS decryption so you can decrypt once (even TLS 1.3) and send to all the tools that need to inspect encrypted traffic
- Take the pressure off routers and switches with a more efficient way to generate high-quality NetFlow
Get High Availability Without the High Costs
Gigamon intelligently redistributes and prioritizes network traffic so you can take advantage of a high availability architecture without overbuying tools.
- Divide traffic between two or more tools when one tool is overloaded, even in heavily-tunneled networks, with Load Balancing
- In the event of a tool failure, Inline Bypass distributes network traffic to the remaining healthy tools so you don’t have to purchase large systems for every network link

ESG Economic Validation
Learn four business-critical benefits customers receive after adopting the Gigamon Visibility and Analytics Fabric™.
“Gigamon is best-in-class for directing traffic to our tool sets and manipulating that traffic accordingly. If we need to packet slice, we need to header strip… we can use that and gain efficiency by taking care of all the duplicate traffic and sending it out over to our tool set for proper analysis.”
Randal Echterling • Network Architect • WellSpan Health
“The Gigamon solution worked while delivering quick ROI for InterContinental Exchange. The GigaVUE packet filtering technology is the most robust in the marketplace today.”
Jose Veras • Senior Security Engineer • InterContinental Exchange
“We have enjoyed cost avoidance with Gigamon. It helps us consolidate expenses in a number of ways. There are increasing security challenges in healthcare and Gigamon allows us to gain visibility to threats while keeping costs contained.”
