Gigamon Introduces New Solution to Automate Traffic Visibility for the Software-Defined Data Center
August 2016 by Marc Jacob
Gigamon Inc. announced the general availability and certification of the GigaVUE-VM integration with VMware NSX®, a solution that automates traffic visibility for the software-defined data center (SDDC).
While utilizing the compelling benefits of a software-defined data center architecture based upon the VMware NSX platform, customers can now leverage the GigaVUE-VM solution to enable enhanced and configurable visibility into their workload traffic patterns.
GigaVUE-VM, the virtual visibility component of Gigamon’s GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform, uses VMware NSX Dynamic Service Insertion and NetX API integration to deliver pervasive and automated reach to virtual traffic in the SDDC.
The GigaSECURE platform with VMware NSX enables organizations to configure and automate the capture of virtual network traffic and delivery to their network and security tools. Specific NSX traffic policies can be configured and associated with the security groups in the micro-segmented deployment. As security groups expand in scale, NSX automatically copies the virtual traffic to Gigamon’s GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform for replication and optimization before delivery to security tools.
Gigamon also announced today that Gigamon GigaVUE-VM has achieved VMware® Ready™ status for VMware NSX-enabled networking and security solutions. The designation indicates that the solution has been interoperability tested with VMware NSX and utilizes the APIs and interface methods enabled by the NSX platform per VMware technical guidance.
