Gigamon Recognized as Leader in Mobile Wireless Infrastructure Market

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon®, the world leader in Traffic Visibility Networking solutions, announced that the GigaVUE-HD8, the flagship product within its innovative Visibility Fabric, has been selected as a winner of the Third Annual Wireless Backhaul Distinction Award. The GigaVUE-HD8 is a high-density Traffic Visibility node which enables pervasive visibility for monitoring and security across the entire network. The awards are presented by Mobility Techzone, a global, integrated media site dedicated to mobility and communications, and sponsored by TMC and Crossfire Media. The awards honor companies that successfully demonstrate a commitment to wireless innovation.

"Gigamon's selection as a winner of the Wireless Backhaul Distinction Award reflects the major role we play in creating solutions that address some of the most critical issues facing high speed network operators today," said Ted Ho, Gigamon CEO. "As traffic volumes continue to increase at an exponential rate, companies need effective solutions to intelligently manage the massive amount of information flowing across their networks. We're very pleased that MobilityTechzone has recognized our dedication and innovation."

The GigaVUE-HD8 appliance is a high-density intelligent traffic visibility node that intelligently replicates and filters network traffic for monitoring and security tools. It is the first product in this growing market to break the terabit backplane barrier and is able to support thousands of map rules at 10Gb line rates. Without the GigaVUE-HD8 in place, visibility in higher speed networks such as Telco 4G LTE, banking data centers and cloud deployments, would be virtually impossible to establish and maintain. GigaVUE-HD8's next-generation architecture makes these critical capabilities possible in today's 1G and 10G network environments.

"Our elite panel of judges had a difficult time selecting winners, but there were standouts that demonstrated exceptional innovation in wireless backhaul technologies," stated Carl Ford, co-founder and community developer, Crossfire Media. "Gigamon's GigaVUE-HD8 impressed the judges by showcasing its forward-thinking capabilities. We were delighted to present them with the Wireless Backhaul Distinction Award. We look forward to seeing more innovative products from them."
