Crossbeam X-Series security switches couple the consolidation benefits of unified threat management (UTM) along with unprecedented levels of scale, performance, and virtualisation to meet and exceed the stringent requirements demanded for securing the world's largest networks.

Provider-Class UTM

X-Series offers UTM solutions that enable service providers to create new business opportunities with virtualised security services.  This presents customers with unparalleled security application choice, simplifies operations and administration, and adapts to the specific needs of the service provider's infrastructure, including fixed and mobile networks.  X-Series offers true carrier-class high availability and superior performance while running multiple best-in-class security engines for firewall, accelerated virtual private networks (VPNs), intrusion detection and prevention, anti-virus/spam/ spyware, URL filtering, and XML firewalling.  This gives organisations a safer, simpler solution for network security that results in operational and capital efficiencies not achievable with disparate products.

Enterprise-Class UTM

X-Series offers UTM solutions that enable businesses to deploy a simplified and cost-optimised security services layer that enforces corporate risk management policies across the network.  With virtualised topologies, security services can be adapted and applied immediately, and by consolidating services, further reduce the cost of deployment and operation which in turn improves security, scalability, and performance.  X-Series fundamentally improves the economics of security by integrating defence-in-depth into an easy-to-implement UTM solution.  All of the security technologies are tied together by a sophisticated chassis-based system that removes the need for external switches, load balancers, taps, and/or port mirrors.  Configuring flow paths through the UTM solution is handled from an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that gives the user complete flexibility.  This consolidation creates the most secure and economical defence model in the industry.
