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)
• GigaVUE V Series 2 Configuration
  • GigaVUE® V Series Proxy
  • GigaVUE® V Series 2 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 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 Proxies to communicate with the GigaVUE V Series nodes. The GigaVUE V Series Proxy is a optional component. If GigaVUE-FM cannot directly reach the GigaVUE V Series Nodes (management interface) directly over the network, a Proxy should be used. A single GigaVUE V Series Proxy can be launched to provide the GigaVUE-FM network communication to hundreds of GigaVUE V Series Nodes present in private networks behind the Proxy.

■

GigaVUE® V Series Node is a visibility node that aggregates mirrored traffic. 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.
