Press Release Summary = GigaVUE-MP Data-Access Solution aggregates, multiplexes, and
filters, providing data access for any out-of-band sniffer, transaction monitor,
IDS, recorder or other tool while logically mapping packets to individual tools.

Press Release Body = San Jose, CA - Gigamon Systems, manufacturer of enterprise
network infrastructure for out-of-band monitoring, releases GigaVUE-MP, a new line
of data-access switches for "out-of-band" security, performance, and transaction
monitoring of mission-critical enterprise networks.

GigaVUE-MP allows dynamic access to traffic anywhere in the enterprise network.
GigaVUE-MP can resolve contention for SPAN ports between multiple tools by
multiplexing the traffic from multiple data sources. It saves on tool budgets by
aggregating streams from multiple sources thus reducing the number of tools
customers need to deploy while providing a "big pipe" view of EtherChannel links or
any parallel links in a redundantly meshed network. GigaVUE-MP intelligently
directs critical data to each analysis tool such as sniffers, IDS's, VoIP analyzers,
so that each tool gets a uniquely customized view. This allows customers to resolve
the problem of "too many tools, not enough SPAN ports" and give each tool only the
data it needs.

Some of the key features and benefits of GigaVUE-MP are:

. Hardware filters map traffic to each tool - any data to any tool
. Aggregate multiple links to single tools
. Multiplex single links to multiple tools
. Unobtrusive tool access - Do moves, adds, and changes at any convenient time.

At its initial product launch at Interop Las Vegas 2005, GigaVUE-MP was picked by
the InteropNet engineers as the technology-of-choice to provide comprehensive
network-view data access. Since then, Gigamon, with their GigaVUE family of
flagship products, has made a mark in the networking community reaching the million
dollar sales in a short 6 months. Now at Interop NY in December, Gigamon has been
selected as the Official Out-of-Band Data-Access Provider. After seeing a return
performance, Glenn Evans, Chief Network Engineer of the InteropNet commented, "By
utilising the Gigamon System in the early stages of the InteropNet buildout, we gave
the engineering team a powerful tool to implement a filtered instrumentation system
throughout the network by multiplexing the numerous data feeds into a variety of
vendor tools. This filtering capability enables the tools to see only the data that
is relevant to them and resolves all conflicts in gaining data access. This makes it
easier for
the engineering staff to diagnose issues if and when they occur." According to
Evans, "Gigamon has become an essential piece of the networking management and
instrumentation puzzle."


About Gigamon Systems

Gigamon Systems' GigaVUE-MP Data-Access Switches filter, aggregate, and multiplex
critical data from multiple links to multiple "out-of-band" monitoring tools
including sniffers, IDS's, VoIP analyzers, transaction and application performance
monitors, and forensic recorders. GigaVUE-MP significantly reduces capital,
operational expenditures, and improves uptime by enabling more flexible network
security, monitoring, and troubleshooting while using fewer and less intrusive
tools. For more information about the company and their products, please visit
