GigaVUE-FM

GigaVUE-FM provides unified access, centralized administration, and high-level visibility for all GigaVUE traffic visibility nodes in the enterprise or data center, allowing a global perspective that is not possible from individual nodes.

In addition to centralized management and monitoring GigaVUE-FM helps you configure the physical and virtual traffic policies for the visibility fabric thereby allowing administrators to map and direct network traffic to the tools and analytics infrastructure.

You have the flexibility of installing GigaVUE-FM across various supported platforms. Additionally, you can effectively manage deployments in any of the supported cloud platforms as long as there exists IP connectivity for seamless operation.

GigaVUE-FM can be installed on-premises as a physical or virtual appliance, or, launched from an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from AWS Marketplace.

GigaVUE-FM manages the configuration of the following components in your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPC):

  • UCT-V Controller ( Required only if you are using UCT-V as the traffic acquisition method)
  • GigaVUE V Series® Node
  • GigaVUE V Series® Proxy (Optional)

GigaVUE-FM orchestrates the overall GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS which allows you to:

  • define the areas of your network within which workloads to monitor can be found.
  • provide adequate credentials for GigaVUE-FM to access the designated areas in order to discover the workloads to monitor and other related objects.
  • define and deploy a visibility policy (Monitoring Session) to acquire traffic from the monitored workloads using the traffic acquisition method of your choice and forward the acquired traffic to available GigaVUE V Series Nodes for processing and forwarding.
  • configure GigaVUE V Series Node, which processes traffic acquired from workloads and forwards to tools using specific logic defined as part of the overall visibility policy.
  • continuously monitor the designated areas of your network to discover dynamically spawned workloads and automatically apply the same visibility policy to the dynamically spawned workloads if the monitoring selection criteria are met.
  • gain comprehensive visibility into their AWS environments, optimize traffic sent to tools, and maintain a consistent security posture across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.
