SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Gigamon Inc. (NYSE: GIMO), the industry leader in traffic
visibility solutions, announced today the availability of
GigaVUE-HC1, which expands the reach of the GigaSECURE® Security
Delivery Platform from large data centers to small enterprises and
remote sites in distributed enterprises. The solution delivers
pervasive visibility across distributed enterprises and enables
improved effectiveness of existing security technologies. Service
providers can gain real-time visibility at remote sites to provide
expanded service assurance and add-on experiences to their
subscribers.
Network security operations is evolving and becoming more
difficult to implement. According to a recent Enterprise Strategy
Group (ESG) survey sponsored by Gigamon, 85 percent of surveyed
respondents reported that the complexity of network security
operations is as difficult, or more difficult, as it was two years
ago, primarily due to increased traffic, more connected devices on
the network and diversity of network and security technologies used
to address emerging and known security threats. 75 percent of
surveyed organizations felt their network visibility could be
improved.
"From the midmarket up through small enterprises, organizations
are limited by a finite number of personnel and imperfect tooling,
which combine to hamper visibility and create vulnerabilities for
cyber attackers to exploit undetected," says Dan Conde, Enterprise Strategy Group analyst.
"Organizations are finding it more difficult to gain visibility
into their networks and are left to grapple with the difficult task
of quickly detecting anomalous or malicious activity."
"Distributed and small enterprises are an often overlooked, yet
an important market segment with specific visibility needs.
GigaVUE-HC1 expands the scope of our successful GigaSECURE
platform, enabling organizations to see more and increase the scope
of security coverage," said Ananda
Rajagopal, vice president of products at Gigamon.
"GigaVUE-HC1 delivers a rich combination of metadata and traffic
intelligence with the flexibility to deploy both inline and
out-of-band security tools, thereby reducing the time to deploy and
maintain security tools at smaller sites."
GigaVUE-HC1 is ideal for remote sites with independent tools,
such as call centers, as it provides a centralized way to
administer and manage all tools, whether inline or out-of-band.
Enterprises and service providers can also use the GigaVUE-HC1 to
selectively backhaul traffic flows and metadata of interest to
centralized tools, enabling both consolidation and expanded
coverage of their centralized tools.
"GigaVUE-HC1 brings the flexibility and features Gigamon is
known for to smaller enterprises that face the same risks, but
suffer resource disadvantages," said Randy
Watkins, director, security architecture, Critical Start, a
Gigamon ecosystem partner and threat detection vendor. "The
solution provides a cohesive architecture that makes it a great
addition to the Gigamon product family."

GigaVUE-HC1 is a modular one rack unit visibility appliance with
twelve 10 gigabit (Gb) interfaces, four 1Gb interfaces, two modular

Flow Mapping®, inline bypass and multiple GigaSMART traffic
intelligence applications, enabling both configuration and
deployment flexibility. GigaVUE-HC1 will be generally available
