Observer GigaStor M 2U appliances can be easily mounted in a standard rack unit. By utilizing the Observer nTAPs included, you can insert and remove a GigaStor M from the network without disruption of flow. GigaStor M requires Observer Apex. Best Practices

  • Place GigaStor M models together with GigaStor models to boost write-to-storage performance at the data center or heavy traffic links.
  • GigaStor M can also be deployed alone at the network edge, branch or any location where full long-term packet capture and retention is not an option
