Crossbeam Systems
Crossbeam Systems secures the world's largest networks. Crossbeam Systems is leading a revolution in the network security equipment field, one that lowers risk and exposure, lowers infrastructure costs and increases flexibility to respond to new threats. By radically simplifying security architectures the company enables a new generation of virtualised services in carrier networks and real-time business models in the enterprise. IDC recently named Crossbeam Systems the leader in the high-end segment of the Unified Threat Management market where it holds over 60% market share. Crossbeam Systems customers include the major Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and telecommunication companies in Europe and the United States, along with many large enterprises in industries such as finance, manufacturing, travel, entertainment and systems integration.
Crossbeam Systems solution set consists of high performance, high availability security switches that scale functions from leading security vendors such as Check Point, Sourcefire, Trend Micro, and Websense. The scaling capability drives consolidation by a factor of twenty devices down to one and results in first year savings alone while industry partnerships ensure the highest scores possible on regulatory compliance grading.
The heart of the Crossbeam Systems technology lies in an entirely new combination of hardened Linux, network processors and Intel processors. This system design preserves the flexibility of open architectures while driving the performance and reliability of purpose-built hardware. Customers use Crossbeam Systems security switches to build integrated defence and-in-depth architectures that allow for the fast addition of new security services as new threats are identified. Crossbeam Systems security switches can run one or multiple applications simultaneously with no degradation in performance and transparency to the network.
Crossbeam Systems, headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts, USA, and with offices around the globe, was founded in 2000 by executives from the networking and security industries with funding from leading venture capital firms and Intel.
