Introduction

Dataflow is increasing at a rate unseen in history. Network managers are tasked with enabling massive quantities of new data in a secure and highly available fashion, all while facilitating access to new types of form factors and data stores. This challenge is often met with layers of networking hardware and tools resulting in a complex mess, or even worse, a culture of network protectionism that inhibits business innovation.

Gigamon has developed a platform that provides granular visibility into network traffic while reducing the server overhead needed to monitor, filter, and secure data. The Gigamon platform—a software solution deployed in the cloud, on VMs, or appliances—provides application intelligence and network traffic visibility to dataflows of all speeds. The result is a network visibility infrastructure that enables secure business, allows companies to welcome new ideas, and facilitates growth.
