License Information

All the GCB Pods deployed in your environment periodically report the statistics to GCB Controller. Then the GCB Controller periodically reports the collective statistics of GCB Pods to GigaVUE-FM for Volume-Based Licensing.

In the Volume-Based Licensing scheme, a license entitles specific applications on your devices to use a specified amount of total data volume over the term of the license. The distribution of the license to individual nodes or devices becomes irrelevant for Gigamon’s accounting purpose. GigaVUE-FM tracks the total amount of data processed by the GCB, and tracks the overuse if any.
