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
Òbest practiceÓ 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 Òtoo
many tools and not enough access pointsÓ by creating an
Òout-of-bandÓ 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.
ÒGigaVUE is becoming the ‘best practice’ tool for out-of-band
network monitoring for large scale, mission-critical VoIP
and data networks,Ó said Denny Miu, CEO of Gigamon. ÒBy
aggregating and filtering network traffic, GigaVUE saves
customers substantial money by eliminating the need for
deploying multiple tools across a distributed network.Ó
