SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon Inc. (NYSE:
GIMO), an industry leader in traffic visibility solutions for
cybersecurity and monitoring applications, today announced that the
Gigamon Visibility Platform for Amazon Web Services (AWS) has
achieved AWS Networking Competency status, a certification in the
AWS Partner Network (APN) program. The company also introduced
NetFlow and IPFIX flow record generation for its AWS offering,
enabling organizations to establish rapid and pervasive visibility
into traffic traversing on AWS. With this capability, enterprises
can effectively deliver summarized, critical data to their security
and monitoring tools.
The Gigamon solution underwent rigorous evaluations to meet the
APN technical validation criteria for reliability, security,
performance and product architecture, including review of live
customer deployments. Customers across a broad cross-section of
enterprise verticals have adopted the Gigamon Visibility Platform
for AWS including Zendesk and the CME Group.
Gigamon introduced the Visibility Platform for AWS in
November 2016, enabling enterprises
to extend their security posture to the public cloud. By working
closely with AWS, Gigamon has progressed rapidly through the AWS
Partner Network APN Standard and Advanced tier requirements
including achieving Public Sector partner status for its GovCloud
solution.
"Achieving AWS Networking Competency status further demonstrates
our continued commitment to AWS," said Phil
Griston, senior director of alliances at Gigamon. "Security
and cloud operations teams will benefit from the demanding
technical requirements that Gigamon met to achieve Partner status
for the Networking Competency".
New NetFlow and IPFIX Flow Record Generation on AWS
A new GigaSMART® traffic intelligence capability—standards-based,
NetFlow and IPFIX record generation -- is now available for the
Gigamon Visibility Platform on AWS. NetFlow and IPFIX are powerful
technologies that are used by both security and network operations
teams to extract summarized information on network traffic flows
and deliver NetFlow to a large ecosystem of security and monitoring
tools.
NetFlow and IPFIX generation is a popular feature in the
GigaSMART suite of traffic intelligence applications. By generating
flow records in NetFlow or IPFIX format, users can gain summarized
insight into traffic traversing their virtual private cloud (VPC)
instances. Security professionals can use unsampled NetFlow or
IPFIX records generated by the Gigamon Visibility Platform to track
every flow with precision. Used in conjunction with the Gigamon
Visibility Platform to gain full traffic visibility, enterprises
can:
- Determine summarized information on source and destination of
traffic, class of service and causes of congestion.
- Segregate and obfuscate sensitive information from being
visible to security tools in order to protect privacy.
- Significantly decrease the cost of data transfer either to
tools in a different VPCs or to tools on-premises.
- Accelerate the migration of mission-critical workloads on AWS
by leveraging existing NetFlow and IPFIX-aware tools to track flows
on the cloud.
"By sending unsampled NetFlow and IPFIX data to
Scrutinizer—Plixer's network traffic analytics system—these new
solutions from Gigamon help to ensure our customers get the data
they need to support fast, efficient security incident
response. The extended visibility they gain across their
public, private, and hybrid clouds is unprecedented," said
Bob Noel, director of strategic
partnerships and marketing at Plixer.
Gigamon is participating in the AWS re:Invent conference in
Las Vegas this week.
