Gigamon announced the completion of a significant strategic investment from Siris, a private equity firm focused on investing and driving value creation in technology companies.
The Siris investment in Gigamon will provide the Company with additional resources to accelerate innovation and growth through organic initiatives and potential strategic market opportunities. Elliott Investment Management L.P. will maintain its controlling interest in the Company.
Shane Buckley, President and CEO of Gigamon, said: “Over the past seven years, Elliott has been a key partner in our product development initiatives, and now with Siris’ support, we will further bolster our brand presence and reputation as we scale our offerings and expand our geographic reach.”
“Shane and the talented Gigamon executive leadership team have built a remarkable company and culture focused on delivering industry-leading security and network observability solutions, and the Company is ideally positioned to help customers more efficiently secure and manage a multi-cloud and hybrid application infrastructure,” said John McCormack, an executive partner at Siris. “I look forward to working with the Gigamon team and its existing investors as the Company executes on identified strategic growth opportunities and expands its leadership in deep observability.”
“Siris’ significant investment in Gigamon reflects the strength of the Company’s innovative products and global customer base,” said John Borgerding, Gigamon chairman. “We are pleased to be partnering alongside our other investors as we continue to expand the Gigamon cloud business and deep observability offerings.”
“We have long been impressed by Gigamon’s market performance and are thrilled to be partnering with Gigamon and its existing shareholders to drive ongoing success,” said Frank Baker, a co-founder and managing partner of Siris, and Sandeep Guleria, a managing director at Siris. “Gigamon is not only an industry leader in the mission-critical network visibility market, but also is rapidly expanding its deep observability capabilities to maximize network security. We look forward to supporting Gigamon on these important initiatives.”
The transaction closed in December 2023, and financial terms were not disclosed.

Technology leaders across the federal landscape are facing, and will continue to face, an uphill battle when it comes to fortifying their digital environments against hostile and persistent threat actors. On one hand, they are being asked to push digital transformation ... On the other hand, they are facing the fiscal uncertainty of continuing resolutions (CR) and government shutdowns looming near and far.

Reliability is no longer proven by uptime alone, according to the The SRE Report 2026 from LogicMonitor. In the AI era, it is experienced through speed, consistency, and user trust, and increasingly judged by business impact. As digital services grow more complex and AI systems move into production, traditional monitoring approaches are struggling to keep pace, increasing the need for AI-first observability that spans applications, infrastructure, and the Internet ...
If AI is the engine of a modern organization, then data engineering is the road system beneath it. You can build the most powerful engine in the world, but without paved roads, traffic signals, and bridges that can support its weight, it will stall. In many enterprises, the engine is ready. The roads are not ...
In the world of digital-first business, there is no tolerance for service outages. Businesses know that outages are the quickest way to lose money and customers.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems.

Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
