Barracuda Networks Doubles Cloud Storage for the Same Low Price

Enables Modern Business-Class Backups at Unprecedented $0.25/GB Rate

Campbell, Calif., August 4, 2011 –Barracuda Networks Inc., a leading provider of content security, data protection and application delivery solutions, today announced it has doubled the amount of cloud storage available to Barracuda Backup Service customers at the same low, flat-rate price. The new cloud storage pricing features 200GB of storage for $50 per month. This unprecedented rate, at just $0.25/GB monthly, includes unlimited backup and restore bandwidth.

Barracuda Networks offers complete backup protection from a single vendor, replacing traditional media-based systems like tape. The Barracuda Backup Server provides local backups and disaster recovery replication to cloud storage, or across private networks. Storage needs are reduced up to 50 times via inline data de-duplication. Server and application data is protected through included backup software with no per server or application licensing fees.

Backup software provided by Barracuda Networks supports Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and HyperV under a low site-wide Energize Updates license, which includes access to future updates. Competing backup software solutions often charge complex per server and per application fees with extra upgrade costs. Customers switching to the Barracuda Backup Service can potentially save thousands of dollars on typical backup costs while implementing a modern backup solution with considerable technical advantages.
