Barracuda: parallel security and storage

I changed my logo, IPO, improved product packaging, and took office as a new CEO. In 2013, barracuda went through many changes. As a cloud security and storage solution vendor, barracuda has a wide range of products: security, anti-spam products, firewalls, application protection, web page filtering products, and storage, archive and backup products are available. In a recent interview, Mr. Shen Peiji, general manager of barracuda in China, told the outside that in 2014, barracuda will still be committed to building itself as a cloud security and storage solution expert to help customers simplify IT.

Work with Microsoft to make the cloud more secure

On June 19, July 2013, barracuda announced its deep integration with its Web application firewall (WAF) in Windows Azure, one of the first WAF to be integrated into Windows Azure, it can be deployed as a single instance or as part of a scalable security platform. When users migrate applications to cloud providers such as Windows Azure, application security requirements are easily ignored. The vast majority of successful attacks, such as SQL injection, application DDOS, cross-site scripting, session theft, and other modern application layer risks, all of which are targeted at the application layer. Windows Azure provides organizations with a secure cloud infrastructure platform enhanced by barracuda Web application firewall, which can provide customers with superior application security protection.

In addition, Barracuda Backup 2013 was launched in 5.2 to extend Barracuda Backup LiveBoot Recovery Technology to the cloud, allowing customers to start VMware images already copied to the cloud, and extract data directly from the storage where the duplicate data is deleted as needed. Currently, only a few backup products can provide cloud storage and restore VMware backup in the cloud. Other products generally require dedicated or dedicated storage for each customer in the cloud. The Cloud LiveBoot function of Barracuda Backup solves this problem. It provides a simple way for VMware sources to run on the Cloud, and the server can be started from the storage where duplicate data is deleted without configuration.

ADC: integrates application security into Server Load balancer

Data center consolidation tends to make users more inclined to add applications to existing devices, which some research institutions believe will boost the growth of the ADC market (predicted, the global ADC market will also grow at a rate of 15-20% per year ). At the same time, the application layer security issues have become increasingly prominent, and the demand for building the first security line of defense for application delivery products has become stronger.

Following this trend, barracuda released the application delivery controller (ADC), which integrates multiple functions such as server Load balancer, application acceleration, application control, and Web Application Security protection, it can provide more secure optimization solutions for enterprise data centers. At present, more than 17,000 million households around the world use barracuda application security and load balancing products.

Barracuda, which is positioned as a cloud security and storage solution provider, is growing in each product line in 2013? Shen Peiji told reporters that the best performance of barracuda in the global market is backup products and web protection products. In China, the fastest growing anti-spam products are still.

Speaking of the 2014 plan, Shen Peiji said that in China, barracuda mainly promoted the following products: Anti-Spam, application firewall, ADC, and archive products. In the future, market demand will come from two aspects: first, the customer will replace new products, and second, some customers will always pay attention to IT management, including security and storage. The market prospects for managing spam are still wide. Application Firewall requirements will also increase as IT applications grow.

From the development of barracuda in various fields at the beginning of 2014, it has already had a good start in the new year: in IDC Marketscape: -was named a leader in the worldwide email security device/software vendor evaluation report, and was also recognized in Gartner's competitive landscape: global open system backup and recovery device report in.
