Gigamon Application Filtering Intelligence gives you end-to-end granular application visibility and the power to direct specific application traffic to the appropriate tools.
With application awareness and Flow Mapping®, NetOps and InfoSec teams can optimize network and security resources. Use cases include:
Forwarding high-risk applications, such as CRM, Microsoft Office and BitTorrent search engine traffic, to intrusion detection systems (IDS).
Identifying 5G mobile smartphone applications using SMS, MMS, IM, WAP and peer-to-peer, being transmitted by the GPRS Tunneling Protocol.
Filtering out high-volume, low-risk web and video traffic, such as from Netflix and Hulu.
Offloading routine maintenance and patches (such as Microsoft Windows updates) so they don’t bog down monitoring and security appliances.
