The inconvenient balance.
We live in a world of wanting more. More performance. More Security. More Mobility. But at the same time, we need to reduce our carbon footprint and energy consumption. At Crossbeam, we believe in creating a truly green approach to network security. One that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on performance, security, or reliability. How do we do it? We follow three simple rules: Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Reduce
Our platform is actually a virtual infrastructure or “network-in-a-box” that can effectively consolidate 50 devices into one chassis. That means fewer devices to power and cool, a smaller footprint, and drastically lower energy costs. Even with one platform, a huge amount of energy can be wasted in the power conversion from AC to DC. At Crossbeam, we purposely chose to use military grade power supplies, providing conversion efficiencies of ~90%.
Reuse
Our Open Secure Operating System – XOS, allows multiple best-of-breed applications to live on the same platform. Applications can be moved, added, or changed anytime using the same hardware. No waste.
Recycle
Crossbeam is proud to comply with both WEEE (Waste Electrical Equipment) and ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives around the globe. To add to this, we have also made our packaging 100% recyclable and significantly reduced the printed materials that get shipped with each product
