GigaVUE HC Series and TA Series Overview

The GigaVUE HC Series delivers performance and intelligence in each of its Deep Observability Pipeline 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 Deep Observability Pipeline is able to replicate, filter, and selectively forward network traffic to monitoring, management, and security tools.

The GigaVUE HC Series and TA Series include the following models that run GigaVUE‑OS:

■   GigaVUE‑HC1
■   GigaVUE‑HC2
■   GigaVUE‑HC3
■   GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus
■   GigaVUE-HCT
■   GigaVUE‑TA25
■   GigaVUE‑TA25E
■   GigaVUE-TA100
■   GigaVUE‑TA200
■   GigaVUE‑TA200E
■   GigaVUE‑TA400

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.
■   The ports on the GigaVUE-TA100 can be used as network, tool, or hybrid ports.
■   For more information about the TA Series nodes, refer to the GigaVUE TA Series Hardware Installation Guide.

For adding a physical node to GigaVUE‑FM, refer to Configure Physical Nodes.
