Gigamon plans to offer its GigaVUE-OS software on select third party ‘white box’ hardware.
“With the announcement of GigaVUE-OS for white box platforms, Gigamon is essentially extending the edge layer of the visibility architecture to the high volume, ‘TAP all’ world of the Data Center operator,” said Ananda Rajagopal, Vice President Product Line Management at Gigamon. “By managing the entire visibility infrastructure through a centralized Fabric Manager, operators can lay the foundation for truly active visibility built around Software Defined Visibility.”
In the first phase of introduction, GigaVUE-OS will be offered as a perpetual software license on selected QCT bare metal hardware, with beta trials planned for February 2015 and general availability planned for April 2015.
