Crossbeam Application Processing Module 8600

Crossbeam Application Processing Module 8600 ... market-leading security applications. The APM is a custom designed compute engine featuring a high-speed control plane that can operate at 1Gbps speeds, along with a tightly integrated Crossbeam switch fabric FPGA for 4x3.2 Gbps data plane connectivity per APM. An APM can support one application or may be grouped with other APMs to maximize performance and redundancy. Traffic can be switched between APMs and therefore from application to application, in any order, to provide maximum traffic control.

Fully hot-swappable, APMs have priority failover capability and can be configured to back up each other, even replacing a currently running application for one deemed more mission critical.
