Gigamon’s GigaVUE-MP Provides “Best Practice”
Out-of-Band Monitoring Network for VoIP
-- Features enable optimal, cost-efficient deployment of voice and data
monitoring tools -
San Jose, CA, March 14, 2006 – At Spring VON, Gigamon Systems, a
leading provider of data access solutions for out-of-band network monitoring,
announced the availability of Version 2.0 of the GigaVUE-MP Data Access
Switch for “best practice” VoIP deployment by service providers
and large enterprise networks. GigaVUE-MP helps meet the challenge of
providing high quality, high volume VoIP service by accommodating the
ever-growing monitoring demands on redundant mesh networks. GigaVUE also
eliminates the need for multiple distributed tools, in turn saving a significant
amount of money and time.
GigaVUE-MP cost-effectively solves the problem of “too many tools
and not enough access points” by creating an “out-of-band”
monitoring network that brings all critical data to the VoIP analyzer,
enabling other tools to share the data view for security or monitoring
purposes. GigaVUE-MP aggregates traffic from multiple network segments
and access points, separating VoIP from non-VoIP data. It uses hardware
packet-based filters and logically divides and maps this aggregated VoIP
traffic to multiple VoIP analyzers in order to guarantee optimal traffic
load. The entire flow of VoIP calls may be monitored en mass, or it can
drill down on a single call.
By filtering, aggregating, and multicasting critical data to support multiple
network monitoring tools, GigaVUE-MP enables more flexible network security,
monitoring, and troubleshooting while using far fewer and less intrusive
tools. This enables network managers to meet the ever more onerous challenges
of regulatory compliance, security, application optimization, and availability
of today’s enterprise network.
As VoIP becomes the mainstream, users are demanding the same high Quality-of-Service
they are accustomed to for traditional phones. While many good VoIP analysis
tools are available to monitor, measure and insure the QoS and SLAs, network
managers are still plagued by the difficulty of getting the critical data
from the many segments of a meshed, massively parallel network to one
or more monitoring tools.
Deploying multiple distributed analyzers to cover all the possible paths
in redundant asynchronously routed networks is cost prohibitive, and still
likely to miss packets or entire calls. Compounding this difficulty is
the proliferation of many other security, performance, application, compliance,
and forensics tools, each bidding for a view of the same data.
“GigaVUE is becoming the ‘best practice’ tool for out-of-band
network monitoring for large scale, mission-critical VoIP and data networks,”
said Denny Miu, CEO of Gigamon. “By aggregating and filtering network
traffic, GigaVUE saves customers substantial money by eliminating the
need for deploying multiple tools across a distributed network.”
