Role: Gigamon Architecture & Assessment Lead
Location: Remote (PST overlap)
Duration: 6+ Months
Pay Rate: $55 to $60
Objective: Lead a technology-only assessment of a large-scale Gigamon physical data center deployment. The focus is on documenting the current state, identifying architectural gaps, and providing strategic, vendor-neutral recommendations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assess Gigamon HC/TA series physical appliances deployed across multiple data center locations (inline and out-of-band).
- Document what is deployed, where, and how traffic is brokered and consumed.
- Conduct stakeholder interviews to translate business and security needs into visibility requirements.
- Evaluate traffic delivery to security tools and perform comparative analysis against alternative visibility technologies (e.g., Palo Alto, Garland, others).
- Identify gaps and provide future-state architectural recommendations aligned to best practices.
- Deliver clear technical and executive-ready documentation.
Required Profile:
- Strong hands-on experience with Gigamon physical appliances (HC/TA series).
- Proven architecture and assessment experience (not implementation-only).
- Solid understanding of inline vs out-of-band visibility architectures.
- Consultative background with strong stakeholder-facing skills.
- Ability to explain design rationale, not just configurations.
Preferred:
- Gigamon Professional (GCP)
- Experience in large consulting or advisory environments.
