Given with the everchanging and increasing demand of technology, the lacking number of network ports are common issues faced by many companies.

One example is a local Tax Authority IT Department having many critical network segments to monitor but unable to tap onto all networks due to insufficient port densities on their testers. This has pose a challenge for them to decide on either to increase more hardware to support the testers or seek out an aggregration solution to reduce unnecessary hardware cost.

Using Gigamon Systems with the leading local System Integrator in Singapore has successfully interconnect the segments and enable all testers to be utilised. By installing Gigamon's GigaVue-420, the unique data aggregration solution can maximise all testers and network systems, providing a cost effective solution to monitoring enterprise networks and data centers. The Tax Authority IT department who faced the problems of multiple network segments to monitor, multiple tools to deploy, too few SPAN ports and TAPs can now easily solve all of these issues. The solution could also avoid unnecessary implementation of expensive hardwares to support the testers.

GigaVUE-420 base unit is available with 4 copper 10/100/1000 ports or four fiber optic SFP ports. Four optional 1G expansion or TAP module bays are available on the front panel and four 10G expansion or TAP module bays are available on the rear panel. When fully configured the GigaVUE-420 supports four 10G ports and twenty 1G ports plus stacking. Dual redundant load sharing 110/240V AC power supplies or dual redundant load sharing -48V DC power supplies are available.

Features:

• Filter Packets to relieve oversubscribed monitoring tools
• Increase Network Visibility by utilizing network tool aggregation
• Monitor 10G traffic with existing 1G tools
• Any to Any Connectivity to solve tool deployment problems
• Replicate to Multiple tools to share data sources
• Intelligently Filter and Divide Loads to customize and manage data to different tools
• Supports all Ethernet Media and speeds including 10 Gig
• Scalable Modular Design that allows for graceful expansion
• Tap and SPAN Port contention is resolved immediately
• Reduce Packet Loss to improve monitoring fidelity
• Out-of-Band DAN allows 24 x 7 tool moves, adds and changes without affecting the network

Create an intelligent Data Access Network (DAN) with GigaVUE and sniffers, security intrusion detections systems, protocol analyzers, VoIP analyzers, data recorders, application performance monitors, compliance monitors or any other Ethernet based passive monitoring tool.
