Gigamon (News - Alert) has extended its warranty to five years for all GigaVUE and G-TAP appliances.
A provider of data access solutions, Gigamon explains in a release that the five-year warranty covers “all hardware components from chassis to transceivers.”
The company adds that the longer warranty shows Gigamon's “commitment to ensuring the highest levels of quality in the design, manufacture, and testing of its products.”
“Organizations can feel confident in their Gigamon data access solutions, knowing that they are using products that have met the most rigorous quality standards in the industry,” company officials said.
At the foundation of the warranty is an extensive testing process.
"The Gigamon manufacturing team plays a vital role in our quality standards. Before shipping any GigaVUE or G-TAP appliance, the products must pass a meticulous 120-hour burn-in test in a lab where temperatures often exceed 100 degrees with all ports running at full line rate," Patrick Leong, Gigamon’s CTO, said in the press release. "Gigamon is committed to excellence in quality assurance, engineering carrier-class network monitoring architectures and technologies that help customers save valuable time, money, and resources."
Gigamon’s products allow for increased visibility and packet-flow information across data networking infrastructure, the company said. In addition, Gigamon's patented technology provides access and visibility for both traditional and cloud-based data networks, the company adds. And the GigaVUE line of switches eliminate “SPAN port contentions, extend legacy tool utilization within 10Gbps environments, and enhance the effectiveness and productivity of network monitoring and security tools – all while running at full line rate speeds.”
In a related matter, Gigamon announced at San Francisco’s RSA (News - Alert) Conference its new G-TAP A Series. The G-TAP-ATX device is an "always on" network TAP. “They leverage an advanced architecture to remove the TAP as a point of failure within the network,” TMCnet explained in a recent report. G-TAP-ATX provides diverse forms of power to the TAP including AC, DC, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and battery backup, says TMCnet. The product is an enhanced full-duplex copper TAP, TMCnet adds.
