SYDNEY, June 23, 2014 – Gigamon® (NYSE: GIMO), a leader in traffic visibility solutions with the innovative Unified Visibility Fabric™, today announced that Robert D’Amico has been appointed as Senior Director Sales – Service Provider, for Asia Pacific and Japan. He will be based in Sydney.
D’Amico’s role in leading Gigamon’s service provider business will focus on supporting existing communications service provider customers, growing sales, increasing market share and establishing a service provider partner infrastructure throughout the region.
“The prospect of building a service provider team is exciting in this high growth Asia Pacific region,” said D’Amico. “We are looking to assist our service provider customers that are experiencing visibility challenges associated with Big Data, NFV (Network Function Virtualisation) and VoLTE (Voice over Long Term Evolution). Visibility is a critical criteria of any future-looking, high performance architecture due to the increased network complexity and the volume of data.”
Gigamon’s Visibility Fabric allows customers to reduce network monitoring complexity and cost, and enables them to de-risk the rollout of projects like VoLTE and network virtualisation, while managing the explosive growth of data on their networks. Gigamon’s patented Flow Mapping® and innovative GigaSMART® solution assists operators in achieving these goals.
D’Amico sees Gigamon’s Visibility Fabric playing a key role in enhancing a wide range of solutions. For instance, Gigamon believes software-defined networking (SDN) is a powerful technology that holds promise for operational simplification, but it can leave customers with limited visibility of data in virtualised networks. This can lead to challenges in ensuring that the network is performing as desired without the proper monitoring infrastructure.
Gigamon’s Visibility Fabric architecture enables best-of-breed monitoring solutions for network performance, customer experience management, security, troubleshooting, application analysis, forensics and compliance partners to better visualise and optimise their environment.
D’Amico has more than 20 years in the high tech and telecommunications industry and joins Gigamon from his most recent role as the Service Provider, Cloud and Media Sales Manager for Australia and New Zealand at F5 Networks. Previously he worked at Cisco, McAfee, Symbol Technologies, and began his career at Telstra.
