The Barracuda NG Firewall restores control to networks made opaque and unmanageable by mobile devices at work, Web 2.0 applications, increasing dispersion, and the growing integration and dependence on cloud-based resources. It extends security coverage beyond network boundaries, and makes it easy to monitor and regulate everything the network and its users are doing.

True Enterprise Readiness

The Barracuda NG Firewall meets the enterprise requirements for massive scalability and efficient management across distributed networks. Integrated WAN optimization and dedicated centralized management appliances enable organizations to increase system availability while keeping administrative time and operation costs low.

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.
