Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG)
PAYG is applicable only for V Series 1 node usage. The AMI for the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) option is available in the AWS Marketplace. The hourly PAYG option charges the users for the AWS services availed on an hourly basis. For example, AWS charges the users for the period the GigaVUE‑FM instance is running in the EC2 instances. When the instance stops, AWS stops charging the users. The PAYG model has no term contract.
It is a perpetual license that supports up to 100 TAP points. To support additional TAP points, a new license must be purchased from Gigamon.
Note: While upgrading GigaVUE‑FM, make sure you choose the AMI with the same licensing option as the current AMI. For example, assume that a user has purchased GFM-AWS-100 license with hourly pricing. While upgrading GigaVUE‑FM, the user must select the AMI with the same GFM-AWS-100 license associated. Else, there could be discrepancy in the number of instances monitored.
For purchasing licenses with the PAYG option, contact the Gigamon Sales. Refer to Contact Sales.
