Security analytics and network virtualisation are set to drive interest in network visibility systems, followed by a longer-term interest in performance, according to Trevor Dearing, EMEA Director of Marketing for Gigamon.<\/p>\n
He said while many enterprises may not have a direct need for the firm\u2019s visibility tools, many of the advanced security appliances in the market do \u2013 he estimates up to half of installs from certain advanced threat prevention appliance vendors use Gigamon boxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are starting to realise if they have a firewall they can stop nothing \u2013 so what they have to be able to do is identify the threat once it\u2019s landed, and stop it moving around when it\u2019s in the business,\u201d said Dearing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the flipside of that, it\u2019s virtualisation of the network \u2013 VMWare NSX, Cisco ACI \u2013 and the fact that everything\u2019s diving in there, and it becomes much more difficult to track what\u2019s happening. You actually lose visibility of everything. We\u2019ve also done a lot of work with both VMWare and Cisco on how you automate the process of capturing the traffic at various points,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Another significant, but niche application for Gigamon\u2019s systems is legal voice intercept \u2013 but this is something the firm is more reluctant to discuss publicly.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Dearing suggests an application like Hadoop for network traffic will spur a greater interest in what\u2019s happening within organisations\u2019 infrastructure: \u201cWhat we can do is effectively look at all the traffic, and try and get an insight into the traffic that\u2019s on the move \u2013 to give a better view of what\u2019s going on, from not just a security perspective, but from a traffic visualisation perspective. And some of the service provider analytics vendors are moving into the enterprise.\u201d \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
