Observer GigaStor Benefits

Jeroen-Dubbelman - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Bitrate

Observer GigaStor has aided our clients in enhancing their network performance monitoring efforts.

It has significantly helped them understand their network environment and the delivery of business applications to their end-users. It's particularly effective in managing voice or unified communications environments. 

Depending on sizing and its configuration, it can record network traffic over extensive periods, allowing users to retrospectively identify and analyze issues, which, in turn, helps improve their network environment and reduces the mean time needed to repair it.

While it's not directly related to enhancing security posture, it aids significantly in the threat-hunting process. If clients are concerned about specific network traffic, they can analyze it further to identify and address issues.

Moreover, Observer GigaStor's storage capacity meets our clients' data retention requirements. The storage capacity varies based on the model, ranging from 24 terabytes to 512 terabytes. 

Its scalability allows clients to tailor the solution to their specific needs, whether that's deploying units across different sections of a data centre or multiple data centres, ensuring it can meet any customer's storage requirements within their budget.

GigaStor can help write rules, is our firewall, and protocols which IP addresses can go in and out of your network. You can easily write your rules, like your ACM, for example. You can block certain traffic but allow other traffic, protocols, or ports. You can choose which traffic is important or not important in your network, and block the traffic which is not required for it to function correctly.

It helps restrain things regarding the firewalls, the application control, so you can just use ACLs or, if you want, firewalls to block certain traffic that you do not want to come through your network.
