Components of GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack
The GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack includes the following components:

GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM) is a web-based fabric management and orchestration interface that provides a single pane of glass visibility, management, and orchestration of both the physical and virtual traffic that form the GigaVUE Cloud. |
GigaVUE-FM can be installed on-premises or launched from an OpenStack image. GigaVUE-FM manages the configuration of the following visibility components in your OpenStack project:
- G-vTAP Controllers (only if you are using G-vTAP Agent as the traffic acquisition method)
- For V Series 2 Configuration
- GigaVUE® V Series Proxy
- GigaVUE® V Series 2 nodes
- For V Series 1 Configuration
-
GigaVUE® V Series Controllers
- GigaVUE® V Series 1 nodes

G-vTAP Controller manages multiple G-vTAP Agents and orchestrates the flow of mirrored traffic to GigaVUE V Series nodes. GigaVUE-FM uses one or more G-vTAP Controllers to communicate with the G-vTAP Agents. G-vTAP Controllers |

GigaVUE® V Series Proxy/Controller manages multiple V Series nodes and orchestrates the flow of traffic from GigaVUE V Series nodes to the monitoring tools. GigaVUE-FM uses one or more GigaVUE V Series Proxys to communicate with the GigaVUE V Series nodes. |

GigaVUE® V Series Node is a visibility node that aggregates mirrored traffic from multiple G-vTAP Agents. It applies filters, manipulates the packets using GigaSMART applications, and distributes the optimized traffic to cloud-based tools or backhaul to GigaVUE Cloud using L2GRE, or ERSPAN, or VXLAN tunnels. You can configure V series 1 or 2 for traffic visibility. |
