Macro Problems

6© 2009 Crossbeam Systems

Level of Threat Sophistication


1 2 3 4

The never ending cycle of threat innovation Driving the need to secure the network using multiple technologies From Packet Filtering Routers in 1990 to Application Based Firewalls today Driving sophistication of compliance requirements

Increasingly difficult to: Protect brand and reputation of the business Preserve the integrity of corporate assets Time-to-Compliance

Keeping pace with the threat economy


21 3 4

Maximizing IT Investments Ensure all capital employed is adaptable to change Ensure a platform can provide a solid rate of return without fork lifts Reducing cost of management network changes Reduce troubleshooting time

Increasingly difficult to: Ensuring “revised” capital IT budgets can meet business objectives, now and in

the future Maintaining focus on the long-term

Invest for Future Growth

Doing “more with less”


31 2 4

Continuing Divergence of Data Sheet from Reality Rapidly increasing bandwidth demands on security processing New services using smaller packets and “chatty” protocols Deeper scanning services need to be enabled to maintain same level of security

Increasingly difficult to: Understand data sheet performance from reality Architect and plan for 3 years or more Depreciate equipment over 24-36 months Maintain business critical SLA

Real-World Performance

Maintain pace with bandwidth growth


41 2 3

Meeting business demands with a rising energy commodity Major % of IT budget going to electricity bill Limit to the power & cooling capacity of the data center Pressure to reduce carbon footprint of the business

Increasingly difficult to: Add performance without adding incremental equipment and impacting

power and cooling envelope

Lowering Energy Consumption

Lowering our Energy Usage

How do we solve these problems?

Complexity on top of complexity Security changes/upgrades require network changes/upgrades Single vendor products require sacrificing “best of breed” Expensive and difficult to deploy, operate and scale
