 igaVUE TA Series is used to aggregate traffic from your network, feed GigaVUE HC Series for more intelligent traffic
optimization, and then distribute to tools for security, network and application monitoring.

Product Description
The GigaVUE® TA Series of edge network packet forwarded. The GigaVUE HC Series can then perform
brokers is a key component of the Gigamon Deep traffic, application, and subscriber intelligence
Observability Pipeline. They are designed to simply functions for more sophisticated traffic handling and
aggregate multiple network links and feed the forwarding. Lastly, GigaVUE-FM provides single-pane,
combined traffic to GigaVUE HC Series, directly to centralized management and control of both GigaVUE
security and monitoring tools, or both. TA and GigaVUE HC Series nodes, and also provides
programmable APIs for software-defined visibility.
In addition to physical networks, you gain centralized
visibility into cloud and remote sites’ network traffic, With up to more than 25Tbps of traffic processing
with tunnel termination and de-encapsulation on all across 32 clustered nodes of GigaVUE TA Series with
GigaVUE TA Series platforms. You can also perform GigaVUE HC Series, you get network traffic visibility
