Abstract

Network monitoring is a critically important function for data center, enterprise and service provider networks. Given the high cost of network monitoring and diagnostic tools, data access switches provide a cost- effective, strategic solution to providing maximum coverage with minimal cost.

Gigamon commissioned Tolly to evaluate the performance and functionality of the GigaVUE line of data access switches. Tests show that the GigaVUE-212, 420 and 2404 devices provide line-rate throughput across all 1Gbps and 10Gbps ports while exhibiting very low latency even at 100% load.
