Campbell, Calif., Aug. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Barracuda Backup now supports replication to Amazon Web
Services (AWS) for greater flexibility.
- This new release offers organizations the ability to further
leverage the cloud as a key method for simple and cost-effective
offsite storage.
- The ability to replicate data to AWS adds another deployment
option to help prepare customers for current and future public
cloud migrations.
Barracuda Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA), a leading provider
of cloud-enabled security and data protection solutions, today
announced that organizations using Barracuda Backup now have the
ability to replicate data securely and efficiently from either an
on-premises physical or virtual backup appliance to AWS. This
feature provides customers, resellers, and MSPs with improved
flexibility and choice to protect their data from data loss and
potential disasters, including security threats like ransomware,
and is available in addition to the ability to replicate to the
Barracuda Cloud.
An effective data protection strategy involves replicating data
offsite to protect against local disasters and data loss, yet many
organizations do not have the resources for a second data center at
a remote site, and need a simple, cost-effective solution to
replicate backups. Customers, and the resellers and service
providers they are working with, are increasingly turning to the
cloud as a solution. According to a new Barracuda global research
report, "Unlocking the Benefits of Public Cloud," the majority of
organizations surveyed said they use public cloud for storage
(83%), followed by data recovery (62%).
"Efficient data protection, in the cloud or on-premises,
includes a strategy to rapidly recover data in the event of data
loss or disaster, as well as the many security practices involved
in preventing unauthorized access. As a security and data
protection company committed to the cloud, Barracuda is uniquely
positioned to help organizations with these challenges,"
explained Rod Mathews, senior
vice president and general manager, data protection solutions at
Barracuda. "Barracuda's current replication technology allows
organizations to securely and efficiently send data to the
Barracuda Cloud or another backup appliance with minimal
configuration. The new release gives customers and resellers
adopting public cloud the flexibility to replicate data to AWS with
the same simplicity – providing a choice of deployment options with
the ability to maintain ownership and control of cloud data."
Barracuda Backup is an integrated end-to-end solution that
provides customers, resellers, and MSPs with the ability to
replicate to their own AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket –
giving them the ability to choose where their data resides while
also affording them control over their replicated backup data.
Barracuda deploys infrastructure in AWS to provide an end-to-end
solution to customers – ensuring that replication to the customer's
AWS S3 bucket happens efficiently with minimal configuration.
Barracuda Backup does not require users to deploy compute
resources in AWS to enable the replication process, and it does not
require that users become AWS infrastructure experts in order to
install and configure replication and restore capabilities.
Resellers and customers who have a basic understanding of AWS
infrastructure will be able to set up replication quickly, and no
cloud-side tuning will be required on the part of the customer.
Users who are familiar with Barracuda solutions will find the same
easy-to-use Barracuda Cloud Control administration console.
Barracuda is an AWS Advanced Technology Partner and offers
firewall solutions in AWS, including Barracuda's Web Application
Firewall that has been pre-approved and certified with the AWS APN
Competency Certification. This release puts Barracuda in a unique
class with AWS as one of the few Partners offering security and
storage solutions in two of the AWS defined security epics from
their Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) – Infrastructure Security
and Data Protection.
"We've seen many customers who are heavily invested in AWS, and
this announcement opens up a new market segment for VARs. Barracuda
is a trusted Partner with strategic vision and strong investments
in public cloud," said Allan
Hurst, director of project management at KIS IT Solutions
& Services, a Barracuda Partner. "We look forward to
extending the latest Barracuda Backup updates to our mutual
customer base to offer them additional flexibility and choice for
data replication."
Barracuda Backup replication to AWS is available immediately in
North America, with worldwide
deployment expected to be rolled out in the coming months. For more
