The Crossbeam PCI compliance solution is unique because it completely breaks the old mold of rigid appliance farms built on the philosophy of "see a threat, buy a box." Instead, as the very definition of a security gateway expands and changes each year, the architecture easily absorbs changes while continuing to deliver high performance and availability.

The flexibility and intelligence of the Crossbeam solution helps customers consolidate anywhere from 20 to 50 existing separate appliances into one highly available, scalable system. When compared to competing solutions, customers can experience savings of $500,000 to $1 million in the first year alone simply by eliminating the capital and operational expenses associated with appliance sprawl. The performance gains of a system that can scale to throughput of 40Gbps also ensure a long product life with no forklift upgrades across multiple depreciation cycles.
