GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS delivers a cloud-based visibility and analytics solution that eliminates network blind spots as you move workloads to the cloud, significantly reducing security and non-compliance risks and helps remediate performance issues.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS helps you obtain a unified view of all data in motion anywhere on your hybrid, single or multi-cloud network. Easily acquire data from any source, automatically optimize it and send to any destination. It closes the cloud visibility gap, giving your security and monitoring tools visibility across cloud environments, from raw packets up to the application layer and with the added context of network data.

You can deploy the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS by subscribing in the marketplace or by installing the individual fabric components using the Amazon Machine Images (AMI).
