Secure Cloud Computing

 
Think Outside the Cloud
 
Companies are realising the benefits of pooling hardware resources together using virtualization to better provision and manage network needs. The approach taken to adopting cloud computing varies based on the services being moved into the cloud and the type of cloud that is being constructed.
The largest issue facing the adoption of Cloud Security Private Cloud; Security Public Cloud; Hybrid Cloud; Cloud SecurityComputing today is security. How can we solve the questions of securing the cloud?
At Crossbeam the recommended approach to securing the private or public cloud is simple. Create a second 'cloud' that is dedicated to securing the cloud computing environment, but more importantly can provide the right level of performance, reliability and flexibility.
 
 

 

Network Consolidation

 

Conventional methods of deploying network security, like piling proprietary boxes on top of each other, is not the way to go. The appliance farm increases capital costs, operational expense and energy consumption. It wastes data center space and makes fault diagnosis difficult. Security in the data center is too complex today.

 

Crossbeam believe its time to cut the crop. Its time to downsize the appliance farm. How does 50:1 consolidation sound? Crossbeam work to consolidate, which makes your entire network scalable and more reliable. And that makes for a more confident business. Crossbeam is able to achieve extraordinary consolidation by collapsing switches, routers, load balancers, appliances and cables into one platform.

 

Regulatory Compliance

 

Demand the best

 

No matter the compliance acronym, PCI, GLB, HIPAA, SOX, you should demand the best solution to meet the compliance requirements. Crossbeam thinks the same way. They have created a platform that utilises the innovation from best-in-class application vendors - maximising security.

 

Check Point VSX, Check Point VPN-1, Check Point Security Gateway - Its up to you what you use on the platform. In any certified combination.

 

Disaster Recovery

 

Crave Confidence

 

How many seconds or minutes can your business tolerate in terms of lost revenue and opportunity with an outage? If its less than 40 minutes which is the typical site availability per year, a disaster recovery site is needed. Failing over an entire system is both costly and complex, so its no wonder why every enterprise craves confidence in their architecture when it comes to disaster recovery.

 

Thats why Crossbeam has developed a comprehensive architecture, based on the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), that monitors every aspect of the network and application health. Custom triggers can be programmed to tell the system exactly when to failover, and what part to failover - making the infarstructure adaptable. And giving you the confidence in your business.
