Gigamon and Corvil collaborate

Gigamon’s GigaPORT-X12-TS blade for the GigaVUE HD Series offers hardware-based, nanosecond-accurate time stamping, enabling IT organisations to optimise networks for all types of traffic including high frequency trading (HFT) communications. The time stamping feature precisely synchronises data to enhance Quality of Service (QoS) analysis and overcomes port latency issues, improving network analysis, jitter evaluation, and overall infrastructure performance management. Gigamon’s Visibility Fabric Nodes are designed to work together to create a pervasive Visibility Fabric architecture and provide a view into physical, virtual, and, eventually, software-defined networks (SDN).

“Corvil’s support of Gigamon’s time stamping technology allows Gigamon to provide our customers with versatile, cost-effective and far-reaching solutions,” said Tara Reeve, director of strategic alliances at Gigamon. “By utilising Gigamon’s highly accurate and scalable time stamping functionality in conjunction with Corvil’s Operational Performance Monitoring, we are able to provide network managers with a swift and accurate solution to troubleshoot low latency applications and high performance networks. Thereby allowing them to achieve real-time, deep analysis and insight.”

“The collaboration between Corvil and an advanced technology provider like Gigamon will benefit our mutual customers," said Donal O’Sullivan, vice president of product management at Corvil. "By utilising Gigamon’s time stamp technology together with Corvil’s Operational Performance Monitoring, customers are able to utilise the enhanced visibility and turn highly-granular performance data into operational and business intelligence in real-time, creating valuable analytics that fuel business performance in trading, financial and other high-performance IT environments."
