About the GigaVUE HC Series and TA Series

The GigaVUE HC Series delivers performance and intelligence in each of its Traffic Visibility Platform nodes, with port density and speeds that scale to your needs, from 1Gb to 100Gb. With an intuitive web-based interface ( GigaVUE-FM) and a powerful GigaVUE‑OS, the Visibility Platform is able to replicate, filter, and selectively forward network traffic to monitoring, management, and security tools.

Notes on TA Series Nodes

  • On the GigaVUE-TA100, only the first 16 out of 32 100Gb ports are enabled. Two port licenses are available to enable an additional 8 or 16 ports to expand from 16 ports to 24 ports or from 16 ports to 24 ports and then to 32 ports.
  • On the GigaVUE-TA200, only the first 32 out of 64 100Gb ports are enabled. A port license is available to enable an additional 32 ports.
  • The ports on the GigaVUE-TA100 can be used as network, tool, or hybrid ports.
