VMware NSX-T Service Insertion and Gigamon GigaVUE Cloud Suite

We are delighted that our valued partner, Gigamon, and it’s GigaVUE Cloud Suite has met the certification requirements for VMware NSX-T  service insertion. 

Service Insertion for NSX-T

The concept of service insertion is key for the NSX platform, enabling users to seamlessly add third party applications at various points throughout the network. Having a robust ecosystem of partners provides maximum flexibility for NSX-T, allowing customers to add partner functionality, tailored to their unique requirements without degrading performance elsewhere in the software-defined data center (SDDC). Partner applications are put through a rigorous certification process ensuring the highest level of interoperability and reliability.

With the certification, GigaVUE Cloud Suite is now interoperable with VMware’s NSX-T and vCenter Server through APIs for improved agility and reduced manual management tasks. Gigamon customers now have comprehensive application visibility across complex hybrid environments, including east-west traffic, at scale.

Please join the VMware and Gigamon teams at a joint webinar, Illuminate Applications in VMware-based Clouds to Secure and Optimize, on June 30, 10 am PDT. Learn about NSX service insertion, Gigamon GigaVue, and the advantages and a demo of Gigamon next-generation network visibility solutions.

Postcard From San Francisco (RSAC 2020)

There was plenty to see and hear at this years RSA conference, not the least of which was the VMware announcement of a modern data center security solution for today’s private and public clouds

I can report there was brisk business at the the booth with plenty of questions on our solution. Booth duty is not everyone’s favorite but I always look forward to the opportunity to hear directly from customers. There are often questions we don’t have the answers to, but it helps us keep our focus in the areas that matter the most.

My colleague Vivek  has already done a fantastic job blogging on our intrinsic security story and our announcements at this year’s event. I wanted to share some great explainer videos from our executive team.
