Improving Performance, Availability, and Security of Distributed Networks

The Barracuda NG Firewall is an enterprise-grade, next-generation firewall that was purpose-built for efficient deployment and operation within dispersed, highly dynamic, and security-critical network environments.

In addition to next-generation firewall protection, it provides industry-leading operations efficiency and added business value by safeguarding network traffic against line outages and link quality degradation.

User identity and application awareness are used to select the best network path, traffic priority, and available bandwidth for business-critical traffic. In case of line failure, the Barracuda NG Firewall can transparently move traffic to alternative lines and keep traffic flowing.

The Barracuda NG Firewall meets enterprise requirements of massive scalability, efficient configuration and lifecycle management across dispersed networks, and performance guarantees for business-critical applications. The concept of integrated WAN optimization coupled with industry-leading centralized management results in significantly lower overall operational cost for multi-site deployments.

All policies, client, and device settings are centrally managed and tracked by the Barracuda NG Control Center.

Controlling Application Usage

The Barracuda NG Firewall gives administrators granular control over applications, allowing them to define rules for forwarding data traffic using the best respective transmission channels based on type of application, user, content, time of day, and geographical location. Mobile devices, online applications, social networks, and streaming media have caused an enormous increase in non-business network data traffic, pushing bandwidth capacities to their limits and causing degradation in performance of business-critical applications. The Barracuda NG Firewall allows organizations to prioritize traffic by limiting or restricting access to non-business-related applications and network traffic, even when encrypted.

Secure Your Network's Perimeter

Secure your organization's data against hackers, malware, DoS attacks, and botnets with Advanced Threat Detection. Traditionally, these threats would routinely bypass signature-based IPS and antivirus engines. Advanced Threat Detection stops threats in their tracks. You gain granular control backed by real-time, zero-hour threat intelligence, all from one single pane of glass that is easy to use and manage for the most advanced, up-to-the-minute security.

Cloud Enablement and WAN Virtualization

One way to greatly increase the capacity of site-to-site links is to simply pay more for extra bandwidth. A better way is to take advantage of the Barracuda NG Firewall's advanced WAN optimization and cloud-enablement capabilities.

Cloud offerings like Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure depend on highly secure environments within the cloud. The Barracuda NG Firewall is ideal for securing use of these cloud services - connecting on-premises networks to the cloud and connecting logically separated components within the cloud data centers.
