Legacy methods to address IT challenges no longer work IT Challenge

Problems with Legacy Methods

Network Speeds

Management tools become overwhelmed

• Security & network analysis solutions may not be up to latest network speeds

A rise in single points of failure, ‘blind spots’

Encryption and Virtualization • Technologies like SSL and SDN ‘hide’ traffic

A decrease in key data delivered to key tools

Topology and Port Limitations • Updates to the production network are disruptive to the business

Three principles of Active Visibility

Intelligent Pervasive Secure • Assure privacy and compliance • Extend the life of existing tools and reduce the cost of new tools

©2015 Gigamon. All rights reserved.

• Enables real-time traffic collection for big data analytics

• Pervasive visibility from the physical to the virtual

• Provides agility to anticipate, react, respond

• Find problems faster

• Context-aware to enable dynamic reconfiguration based on real-time conditions

• Tool agnostic = bestof-breed solutions

Active Visibility brings flexibility, visibility and control Gain visibility for security and analytics tools

Intelligently direct and groom traffic

Distribute the right traffic to the right solution

Gain flexibility to integrate new best-of-breed network tools
