The GigaVUE-HC3 is the first high-performance appliance to enable pervasive visibility and security intelligence at scale in 10Gb, 40Gb and 100Gb networks, according to Gigamon.

The vendor says the appliance extends its Visibility Platform and GigaSMART technologies with higher compute and throughput performance to effectively manage, secure and analyse large volumes of data in transit. 

The GigaVUE-HC3 is said to feature “market-leading” visibility node capacity which provides a total of 800Gbps of GigaSMART traffic intelligence per node, scaling to 25Tbps in clustered configurations. It offers up to 3.2Tbps of processing per node that scales to more than 100Tbps per cluster.

Among its uses cases, Gigamon says the appliance can optimise security by active remediation and identification of malware activity for both on-premise and cloud monitoring.

It also claims that the new platform enables users to minimise traffic overload, extract metadata from traffic, and provide more effective options to deploy both inline and out-of-band security tools.
