Barrett Steel Increases Network Throughput Capacity Without Boosting Spending on Tooling or Maintenance
3 PagesGigamon's GigaVUE-HC1 series visibility nodes, GigaVUE-OS Flow Mapping, and GigaSMART De-duplication enabled UK-based Barrett Steel to increase network throughput capacity without additional tooling or maintenance spending. Challenges included inaccurate traffic representation to security tools due to dropped packets amid rising volumes, plus reliability/cost concerns with a prior non-Gigamon solution's high maintenance fees. Gigamon delivered key benefits: reliable visibility and load balancing across tools to support expansion sans NDR investments; efficient 1U datacenter space utilization; and eliminated packet drops for precise monitoring and cost-effective scalability.
