GIGAMON HANDPICKED BY ENET ENGINEERS
Gigamon switches bring new life to eNet engineers’ tools, allowing
them to improve performance while saving money when protecting their mission-critical
networks
May 2, 2005 -San Jose, CA – Gigamon Systems is a network infrastructure
company manufacturing a new line of data-access switch for “out-of-band”
security, performance and transaction monitoring of mission-critical enterprise
networks. Their flagship product, GigaVUE-MP, was recently handpicked
by the eNet engineers as the technology-of-choice to provide comprehensive
network-wide monitoring for Interop Las Vegas 2005, allowing dynamic access
to traffic anywhere across the network, aggregation from multiple links
to provide an “end-to-end” or “big pipe” view,
filtering of critical data to customize for each analysis tool, and multicast
to support multiple tools with conflicting data-access requirements.
InteropNet Event Network (eNet) is a high profile production network purpose
designed to provide resilient and comprehensive networking services for
the Interop super show, to over 18,000 attendees and 400 exhibitors, conferences
and meeting rooms, constantly raising the bar for innovation and excellence.
Every year hundreds of peer-selected volunteers build and manage eNet,
subjecting best-of-breed products from leading vendors to the ultimate
torture of extreme networking demands.
After seeing GigaVUE in action, Brian Chee, eNet VoIP and Video Team Lead
and Director of the Advanced Network Computing Laboratory at the University
of Hawaii, commented “The Gigamon product provides the eNet team
with a unique opportunity to peel off key data feeds at critical points
of the network without using up large pool of analysis tools. We can shape
data streams by application type, like VoIP, video, web and other key
attributes. This filtering capability allows us to focus on our specific
areas of responsibility without being overwhelmed by the huge amount of
data generated at the show. Gigamon’s ‘tool enhancer’
just makes sense in this new era of ever increasing Internet usage and
security concern.”
Other industry experts concur. For example, the 451 Group, a technology
industry analyst company focused on the business of enterprise IT innovation,
recently published a report entitled “Gigamon Systems Addresses
the Trouble with Monitoring Large, Parallelized Networks”. Its author,
Steve Steinke, who was the former Editor-in-Chief of Network Magazine
and also an attendee of Interop, wrote that GigaVUE represents “a
new category of network tap allowing network engineers and security experts
to define customized views of network traffic and route that traffic to
their analysis tools”.
Gigamon Systems will be an exhibitor at the Interop (Booth #1974). In
addition to supporting eNet, its GigaVUE-MP was also selected to support
the VoIP and Security activities of iLabs, which is another InteropNet
tradition described as a live test bed for the latest networking technologies
and featuring the latest solutions to real engineering challenges in a
live, vendor-neutral, standards-based arena.
About Gigamon Systems
Gigamon Systems created GigaVUE-MP, a unique Data-Access Switch that filters,
aggregates and multiplexes critical data from multiple links to multiple
“out-of-band” monitoring tools including sniffers, IDS’s,
VoIP analyzers, transaction and application performance monitors, and
forensic recorders. Gigamon significantly reduces capital and operational
expenditures and improves uptime by enabling more flexible network security,
monitoring and troubleshooting while using fewer and less intrusive tools.
