GIGAMON Mod. NetWrk Sw/GVS-HC201 GIGAVUE HC2 (TAP-HC0-G100C0 / SMT-HC0-X16)

The GIGAMON GVS-HC201 GIGAVUE HC2 is a 2RU network visibility node that aggregates, replicates, and filters traffic across 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb, and 100Gb networks using Gigamon's Flow Mapping® technology. Built for data center environments, this modular platform delivers over 1Tbps throughput and supports hot-swappable port, bypass, and GigaSMART modules in four front-facing bays. Redundant power supplies and multi-chassis clustering with other GigaVUE H Series devices enable continuous operation and scalability for medium-sized enterprises and service providers.
