Gigamon on Wednesday announced a forthcoming application to generate and export NetFlow records from within the Visibility Fabric™. As a part of the Applications Layer of the Unified Visibility Fabric architecture, the NetFlow Generation application will create NetFlow records, then send the information to one or multiple NetFlow collectors or analyzers. Gigamon has traditionally focused on creating features and functionalities to help optimize the tools infrastructure, however, NetFlow Generation will allow our Visibility Fabric to optimize the network. The application can maximize the efficiency of the network itself by assuming the processing necessary to generate NetFlow information that had previously been dedicated within the switch, thereby reducing the burden to the network.
