About GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AnyCloud

The GigaVUE Cloud Suite solution for the following platforms are mature solutions with complete support for configuration and upgrade from GigaVUE-FM:

  • GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS
  • GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Azure
  • GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack

For the other cloud platforms (public or private) available in the market, the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AnyCloud deployment option provides traffic visibility.

The GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AnyCloud option consists of the following components:

  • GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM)
  • G-vTAP Agents
  • G-vTAP Controllers
  • GigaVUE V Series Controllers
  • GigaVUE V Series Nodes

GigaVUE-FM is a key component of the GigaVUE Cloud solution. GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM) is a web-based fabric management interface that provides a single-pane-of-glass visibility and management of both the physical and virtual traffic.

In the Any Cloud deployment option, you are responsible for the following:

  • Installing and launching GigaVUE-FM from the supported cloud or enterprise platform.
  • Launching the fabric components in your platform.
  • Sharing the IP addresses and subnet CIDR of the fabric components with GigaVUE-FM.

The images of the components are available in the Gigamon Customer Portal.

Note:  Contact Gigamon Technical Support team if the existing Gigamon images for a specific cloud platform is not compatible.

GigaVUE-FM uses the IP addresses of the fabric components to:

  • Identify the traffic
  • Monitor the traffic flow
  • Forward the traffic to the destination

Note:  You are responsible for deleting the fabric nodes from the platform when visibility for the platform is no longer required.

This section introduces the components of the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AnyCloud solution and the supported architecture for deploying the cloud solution in any of the available cloud platforms.

It provides instructions for connecting GigaVUE‑FM in any of the cloud platforms available in the market. For information about installing GigaVUE‑FM in your enterprise data center, refer to the GigaVUE-FM Installation and Upgrade Guide available in the Gigamon Documentation Library.
