The Gigamon Visibility Platform

GigaVUE Visibility Platform nodes and management software form the Gigamon Visibility Platform, providing passive monitoring of mission critical networks. The Visibility Platform solves access problems, improves network performance and uptime, and saves capital, operation and maintenance costs.

The Visibility Platform addresses many common network management issues, including security, compliance, forensics review, application performance, and VoIP QoS, among others. Once data is acquired from multiple SPAN ports or TAPs, it can be multicast to multiple tools, aggregated to a few consolidated tools, and filtered or divided across many instances of the same tools.

You can think of the Visibility Platform as a data socket that provides immediate access for ad hoc tool deployment without impact to the production network. Gigamon’s Visibility Platform nodes accommodate the growing number of network monitoring tools and network security tools. Figure 1 summarizes these features.
