As today’s enterprise networks have grown . . . how do you monitor and secure it without spending a small fortune?

Is your enterprise really all that secure?

enterprises are investing in monitoring and analysis tools such as analyzers, sniffers and intrusion-detection systems (IDS). ranging from $20,000 to more than $150,000 (for newer 10Gig), they can easily blow your budget. these tools are not an option, but mandatory in order to maintain a 24x7 network , keep it secure and address compliance initiatives.

network monitoring requires connecting a SPAN, Tap or mirror port to an analysis or security device in order to diagnose network issues. The GigaVUE is a way to efficiently monitor entire tool farms -- with all devices wired to the GigaVUE and connections made from any Web browser.

a new challenge that has reared it’s ugly head is the lack of access ports!

What’s an enterprise to do?

Gigamon solves these problems . . . It is a way to efficiently monitor tool farms -- with all devices wired to the GigaVUE and then managed via a Web browser. This simplifies and reduces budget requirements as well as the lack of staff to properly support today’s enterprise network.

Citrus ® is Gigamon’s software that provides a seamless, end-to-end connectivity from a single Web browser. This centralized software enables you to access the devices you want to manage or change while the solution software manages all of the port-to-port changes and connectivity.

Citrus ® provides you the network access, views and information needed

The overall solution should also allow you to filter and aggregate data across your network so that specific groups (i.e. applications, network, compliance) can access the specific information they need from the segment they wish to review and monitor. With such an approach, you can eliminate the time consuming network access approval process. This ensures the network is always secure and never, ever left open. When issues arise, the network and security tools are already implemented, it’s just a few clicks for the needed access and information. What to look for . . . .
