Overview of GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS delivers a cloud-native visibility and analytics solution for Amazon Web Services (AWS). It enables full network observability so you can:

  • Migrate workloads to the cloud

  • Optimize your existing cloud environment

The suite removes network blind spots. It reduces security and compliance risks and helps you resolve performance issues quickly.

Traffic Acquisition

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS captures network traffic from workloads running in AWS.

It uses a simple and efficient process:

  • Copies and mirrors traffic through tunnels.

  • Sends the traffic to GigaVUE V Series Nodes.

  • These nodes filter and process the packets.

  • The processed traffic goes to your security and monitoring tools.

The suite supports several traffic acquisition methods, including:

  • GigaVUE Universal Cloud Tap (UCT)

  • AWS Traffic Mirroring
