Case Study: Large Diversified Company achieves cost-effective, centralized network monitoring and 87% probe reduction with Gigamon GigaVUE

Large Diversified Company Enables Cost-Effective Monitoring with Gigamon

A large, Canada‑headquartered diversified company with more than 1,100 retail and fuel locations plus a financial services arm faced rising costs and operational strain from a distributed monitoring architecture. Their approach required one expensive probe for every two TAPs, frequent manual reconnections of sniffers for troubleshooting, and exposed sensitive financial traffic to security and compliance risks—while staff were already stretched thin.

The company deployed Gigamon GigaVUE Traffic Visibility Nodes to aggregate, filter and replicate traffic to centralized tools. This allowed each probe to support up to 12 TAPs (reducing probe needs by as much as 87%), enabled remote, out‑of‑band tool access, improved security and compliance, and delivered an estimated $120,000 day‑one ROI—simplifying operations, boosting uptime and freeing staff to focus on network performance.
