Overview of Third Party Orchestration

You can use your own orchestration system to deploy the GigaVUE fabric components instead of using GigaVUE‑FM to deploy your fabric components. The third-party orchestration feature allows you to deploy GigaVUE fabric components using your own orchestration system. These fabric components register themselves with GigaVUE-FM using the information provided by the user. Once the nodes are registered with GigaVUE-FM, you can configure monitoring sessions and related services in GigaVUE-FM.

The GigaVUE Cloud Suite for third party Orchestration consists of the following components:

• GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM)
• G-vTAP Agents
• G-vTAP Controllers
• GigaVUE V Series Proxy
• GigaVUE V Series Nodes

GigaVUE-FM is a key component of the GigaVUE Cloud solution. GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM) is a web-based fabric management interface that provides a single-pane-of-glass visibility and management of both the physical and virtual traffic.

In the third-party orchestration deployment option, you are responsible for the following:

• Installing and launching GigaVUE-FM from the supported cloud or enterprise platform.
• Launching the fabric components in your platform.
• Registering the fabric components to GigaVUE-FM.

The images of the components are available in the Gigamon Customer Portal and the images for public clouds are available in the respective market place.

Note:  Contact Gigamon Technical Support team if the existing Gigamon images for a specific cloud platform is not compatible.

Note:  You are responsible for deleting the fabric nodes from the platform when visibility for the platform is no longer required.

For information about installing GigaVUE‑FM in your enterprise data center, refer to the GigaVUE-FM Installation and Upgrade Guide.
