11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.	An Introduction to the Traffic Visibility Fabric within Cisco Networks Ask the Expert - Gigamon An increasing focus on the Enterprise "customer experience", competitive pressures, compliance and security have resulted in a proliferation of infrastructure and application management, monitoring and security tools and systems. As a result, this has increased operational complexity, higher costs and demands for more resources that directly challenges investment ROIs and, to some degree, creates and possibly amplifies exposures and risks. The solution… a Visibility Fabric… A Visibility Fabric is more than a series of connections; it's intelligent, versatile, and flexible. It understands what traffic is relevant or irrelevant for specific monitoring and security needs. With this insight, the Visibility Fabric is able to understand the priority of one traffic flow over another. The Gigamon Visibility Fabric enables IT teams to aggregate, filter, and replicate customized data streams from network connections to passive monitoring tools.	Download Reminder Auditorium
