More Success in Asia as Gigamon's GigaVUE-HC2 Fabric Node Wins Awards From Network World Asia and Telecom Asia

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon® GIMO, a leader in traffic visibility solutions with its innovative Unified Visibility Fabric™, announced today that its GigaVUE-HC2 Fabric Node has won two more major industry awards in Asia, taking its overall awards wins in the region to four during 2014.

Recently, Gigamon topped the 2014 Network World Asia Readers' Choice Product Excellence Awards for Network Analytics and Traffic Management; and it also won the Business Analytics Innovation of the Year award in this year's Telecom Asia Readers' Choice & Innovation Awards.

Earlier this year, Gigamon's GigaVUE-HC2 won the LTE Asia Award 2014 for the Best Traffic Management Product. Gigamon also won the Network World Asia 2014 Information Management Award in the 'Network Traffic Monitoring & Management' category. This was the only regional Editor's Choice Award given by a judging panel that was comprised of more than 100 Asia CIO advisors and editors.

The annual NetworkWorld Asia Readers' Choice Product Excellence Awards recognize leading vendors for the innovative technologies and solutions they provide to Asian businesses. Now in their 9th year, the awards are based on votes from the readers of NetworkWorld Asia magazine, and the Networks Asia, Security Asia and Storage Asia websites. Voting was open to all readers and hosted by an independent third-party web-based survey platform. Since the date of submission for the award, Gigamon introduced additional innovations, including the industry's first visibility solution with SSL Decryption support.

Now in its seventh year, the Telecom Asia awards program places a heavy emphasis on innovation. The awards focus on innovation and reflect the increased importance placed by suppliers on ensuring that their products and services help telecom companies find new ways to partner, test new business models and compete in the digital economy.

"We are delighted that GigaVUE-HC2 has received industry recognition from two flagship publications," said Ananda Rajagopal, Gigamon's Vice President of Product Line Management. "The GigaVUE-HC2 has swiftly attracted the industry's attention because of its broad applicability across a variety of industry verticals and use cases. The compact fabric node can be widely deployed by organizations with multiple groups sharing TAP/ SPAN ports; organizations with a need to scale their multi-tier security implementations; telco 4G/LTE operators seeking an operational advantage to meet their customer SLAs; university and research centres with advanced infrastructure dedicated to active and continuous data monitoring; government agencies dealing with national security issues; and many other use cases."

Announced in March 2014, the GigaVUE-HC2 is a modular, multi-purpose visibility fabric node that addresses the challenge of visibility by offering multiple visibility capabilities such as TAPs, filtering, aggregation, replication, intelligent packet modification, port density, and a variety of advanced traffic intelligence capabilities in a modular, mid-sized form factor. The GigaVUE-HC2 is a key component of Gigamon's Visibility Fabric architecture that provides advanced visibility into infrastructure blindspots for both enterprise and service provider networks. 

David Sajoto, VP, APAC for Gigamon, added: "Winning four major awards this year is a tremendous accomplishment and we are honored to receive these endorsements. Our definition of success lies in creating award-winning active visibility solutions to help power businesses by giving insights into their infrastructure, enabling them to become more agile, secure and cost effective.
