GigaVUE-FM

GigaVUE-FM gives you unified access, centralized control, and full visibility into all GigaVUE traffic nodes across your enterprise or data center. It offers a global view that individual nodes cannot provide.

Along with management and monitoring, GigaVUE-FM lets you create and manage traffic policies for your visibility fabric. This helps direct network traffic to your monitoring and analytics tools.

You can install GigaVUE-FM on a range of supported platforms. It also works in any supported cloud environment, as long as there is IP connectivity.

You can deploy GigaVUE-FM on-premises as a physical or virtual appliance, or launch it from an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in the AWS Marketplace.

GigaVUE-FM Orchestration Capabilities

GigaVUE-FM controls the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS.

It helps you:

  • Define monitoring areas in your network where workloads run.

  • Provide credentials so GigaVUE-FM can discover workloads and related resources.

  • Create and deploy visibility policies (Monitoring Sessions) that collect traffic using your chosen method and send it to GigaVUE V Series Nodes.

  • Configure V Series Nodes to process and forward traffic to tools based on your policy rules.

  • Monitor network areas continuously and automatically apply visibility policies to new workloads if they meet the criteria.

  • Gain full visibility into your AWS environment, optimize tool traffic, and keep security consistent across hybrid and multi-cloud setups.
