Crossbeam Delivers Virtualized Firewall Services for Ecritel
"The ability to offer in-the-cloud firewall services opens up new revenue streams for us, while dramatically reducing the number hardware devices on our network through virtualization," said
Ecritel has been using the Crossbeam X-Series chassis to support Check Point firewall for more than a year. The company chose Crossbeam because it wanted a scalable, carrier-class security platform that would allow them to deliver best-of-breed security services, without sacrificing performance. Ecritel is among the few leading-edge carriers to deliver in-the-cloud security services to its customers. Now the company can enable thousands of virtual instances of Check Point's VSX virtualized firewall off of a single blade within the Crossbeam platform — providing plenty of capacity to scale with market demand.
"Ecritel is a perfect illustration of how customers can work with Crossbeam to deliver best-of-breed, in-the-cloud security services," said
Crossbeam's X-Series is the industry's only open and extensible platform, purpose-built for security, upon which best-in-class applications can be integrated and exchanged as needed to respond to new and evolving threats. The X-Series is the highest-performing platform, tested to wire-line rates of 40 Gbps with ultra-low latency, enabling customers to enjoy the benefits of an architectural revolution in deploying multiple best-of-breed security applications without sacrificing performance. Carriers use the X-Series to deliver a new generation of virtualized services such as firewall, VPN and intrusion prevention, while enterprises deploy the X-Series for consolidation of security equipment and faster response to the demands of the real-time enterprise.
