Observer GigaStor Other Advice
I would recommend Observer GigaStor to others for network visibility and security. It's pretty much the best system available in this space.
Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is like the saying, "If you are going to be expensive, you are going to be the best."
View full review »I have been working with the Observer-GigaStor platform since 2006 and experienced some stability issues the first few years under Network Instruments. When Viavi released their Gen2 platform, we saw major improvements in the GigaStor Expandable platform. Their 144T unit handled 20Gbps consistently from your monitoring fabric. We recently upgraded to the new Gen3 GigaStor system because our growth demands required the new 40Gbps write to disk capability.
Use it in conjunction with a SDN monitoring fabric.

If you have the opportunity, I would strongly encourage you to get it, because it makes the IT experience easier and more flexible, by providing the ability to see things in your networks like the directory packet label.
The most important criteria when selecting a vendor is to know that the product has been there for a long time, that they have some stability, they have some experience in the market. For example, if you have to choose between two products, one just coming out, and the other one is 20 years on the market, the product that's been there for 20 years, they have experience, they have stability.
Also, the features of the product, that they are leaders in that particular field. It should be very easy to see the difference between it and other products. What this can do and what others cannot do.
I would rate it a nine out of 10. I have no regrets using this product. I'm very satisfied for what I paid for it and for the things I'm able to do with the product. I would recommend this product.
