Sydney, 24 April 2013
– Barracuda Networks, Inc <http://www.barracudanetworks.com>
., a leading provider of security and storage solutions, today announced the
release of the new Barracuda ADC <http://www.barraucuda.com/adc>
, an integrated solution that combines load balancing, application
acceleration, application control, and web application security into a single,
high-performance platform. The launch marks Barracuda’s official entrance into
the Application Delivery Controller space, a highly anticipated move for the
company given its extensive history of securing and scaling applications in the
data centre
According to the 4Q12 Data Center Appliance Report, published Feb. 2013 by
Dell’Oro Group, “data center build outs, consolidation, the continued preference
of users bringing their own devices, as well as increased applications on each
device, will drive robust growth in the ADC market in 2013.” Barracuda ADC
combines the advanced capabilities of the company’s purpose-built appliances in
application security and load balancing, which have an installed base of more
than 17,000 data centre customers throughout the world.
Key highlights of the new Barracuda ADC platform include:
· Designed for Data Centres – Barracuda
ADC is designed for performance. With up to 32 x 1GbE ports and up to 8 x 10GbE
ports, it easily meets the needs of today’s high-traffic data centres.
· Complete Application Security – Barracuda
ADC secures applications against attacks at both the network and the
application layer, including OWASP Top-10 attacks such as SQL injection, cookie
tampering, and session hijacking – without impacting system performance.
· Thoroughly Tested Deployments – Extensive
certifications, templates, and deployment guides are included for common
applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Oracle
Applications, web servers, and virtual servers.
“Until now, customers wishing to both secure their applications and
optimise performance have faced very high costs and unnecessary complexity,”
said Steve Pao, GM Security Business at Barracuda Networks. “The Barracuda ADC
integrates advanced load balancing and application security in a single,
affordable, high-performance solution to help customers efficiently and
securely deliver highly available applications.”
