SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Gigamon Inc. (NYSE: GIMO), the leader in traffic visibility
solutions, today 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.
"Customers looking to operationalize VMware NSX technology want
to use the proven threat intelligence tools and troubleshooting
solutions already in use in their environments," said Michael Adler, Vice President, Product,
NetWitness Suite at RSA. "The RSA NetWitness Suite is
engineered to monitor a broader set of attack vectors. Working in
conjunction with the GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform,
security teams can gain a deeper understanding of an attack for
rapid detection and response before the attack can impact their
businesses. This is especially critical as more traffic and
potential threats move across virtualized environments."
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.
"VMware is pleased to enable Gigamon as part of a strong NSX
Ecosystem of partners helping customers realize the tremendous
benefits of SDDC and Network virtualization" said Geoff Huang, senior director of product
marketing, networking and security business unit at VMware. "The
GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform provides additional
capabilities for traffic capture and interface to other tools
directly benefiting the operational metrics of a software-defined
data center."
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.
"Automated visibility is critical to securing and monitoring
dynamically scalable application workloads in private clouds and
data centers where agility and automation are a must," said
Ananda Rajagopal, Vice President
Products, Gigamon. "Security administrators can now use the
GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform and VMware NSX to provide
dynamic traffic visibility in the micro-segmented data center."
