Case Study: Clemson University boosts network visibility and security with Gigamon

Clemson University boosts NetFlow to 70,000 flows/second with Gigamon

Clemson University faced a significant challenge after upgrading its network to 100Gb speeds when its new networking equipment no longer supported generating NetFlow data. This lack of visibility was a critical security issue, as the university needed to monitor network traffic to protect against cyberthreats. They turned to vendor Gigamon for a solution.

Gigamon implemented its Deep Observability Pipeline, which included GigaSMART and GigaVUE-OS. This solution not only restored but greatly enhanced the university's network visibility. The results were substantial: NetFlow generation increased from 30,000 to 70,000 flows per second, overall visibility increased by over 75 percent, and false positives were reduced by over 60 percent, allowing Clemson to optimize its existing security stack.
