Proven Performance
Sourcefire® and Crossbeam recently engaged Miercom to provide third-party performance testing and validation for the companies’ combined solutions. Miercom tested configurations of Crossbeam APM 8650s running Sourcefire 3D Sensor software and verified that the combined solution running on a Crossbeam X-80 Next Generation Platform provides among the best performance in the industry, ideal for carrier-class networks, data centers and large enterprise deployments. Miercom tested Crossbeam modules running Sourcefire 3D Sensor software stand-alone and in an integrated configuration with Check Point Security Gateway R70 firewall. This testing configuration consisted of four APM modules running Sourcefire and four APM modules running Check Point. Miercom verified that the integrated solution continues to perform at speeds greater than 22 Gbps.
