Overview:

GigaVUE Cloud Suite acquires traffic from dynamic virtual environments, optimizes it and then delivers only relevant traffic to monitoring and security tools. The results include:

• Deep visibility into VMs and containers to recognize and block laterally-spreading malware
• Automated identification of new workloads while scaling and configuring the fabric as needed
• Improved tool capacity by offloading compute-intensive tasks and streamlining traffic to tools
• Unified multi-cloud orchestration and management with a single-pane-of-glass fabric manager

The Gigamon GigaVUE Fabric Manager is used to orchestrate the deployment and management of the solution and it interacts with NSX via API.
