Case Study: Seattle Cancer Care Alliance achieves pervasive visibility and enhanced security with Gigamon Visibility Platform

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Selects Gigamon for Pervasive Visibility Across Virtual and Physical Infrastructure

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), a leading cancer treatment center combining expertise from Fred Hutch, UW Medicine and Seattle Children’s, needed pervasive visibility to protect sensitive patient data and ensure performance across a complex mix of physical and virtual systems. With about 200 VMs, dozens of critical applications, and the requirement to feed IDS/IPS and real-time analytics, SCCA faced the challenge of delivering the right traffic to multiple monitoring tools without disrupting clinical operations.

SCCA deployed the Gigamon Visibility Platform—including GigaVUE-VM, GigaVUE-HD4 and GigaSMART with Flow Mapping—to aggregate, filter and forward relevant traffic from 1Gb/10Gb links into Cisco SourceFire and ExtraHop. The solution improved security tool performance, enabled full use of IDS/IPS capacity, simplified monitoring across virtual and physical environments, and scaled easily as needs grew.
