Barracuda Networks and Amazon Web Services
Today, many organizations are looking to the cloud to take advantage of the economic gains and operational efficiencies inherent to non-hardware-based solutions. While migrating to the cloud means companies need to adjust to new security threats, the ability to scale according to business needs means that AWS offers a powerful value proposition. The pay-as-you go model Amazon uses enables businesses of all sizes to access just the AWS services they need, and no more.
In the cloud, companies need security that can compensate for a broader attack surface and a new array of threat vectors. As Amazon seeks to provide more options for hybrid cloud and pay-as-you-go subscriptions, Barracuda’s security services have moved hand-in-hand with Amazon’s values. Not only is Barracuda committed to providing total threat protection to AWS customers, but we’re taking steps to emulate Amazon’s methodologies within our product offerings. Barracuda and Amazon work well together because we have the same end user in mind: A person Amazon calls the “whole stack professional” and Barracuda describes as a “mid-market IT professional who wears a lot of hats.”
Enhance Application Performance on Amazon Web Services with Barracuda Load Balancer ADC
When hosting web applications on Amazon Web Services, it's important to ensure that they deliver the highest performance and scalability. Barracuda ADC provides rich Layer 7 application management and delivery features on AWS.
Highly demanding enterprise networks require full-featured application delivery. Barracuda Load Balancer ADC is ideal for optimizing application performance. It offloads compute-intensive SSL transactions from the server, preserving resources for applications. In addition, optimization features such as caching, compression, and TCP pooling enable faster application delivery and ensure scalability. Using health and performance checks, the Barracuda Load Balancer ADC distributes traffic for efficient use of server resources and employs server failover for high availability. Global Server Load Balancing allows redundancy across multiple sites enhancing availability and speeding disaster recovery. Content routing and content rewrites enable full control of application traffic and customized application delivery based on users, regions, and/or devices. Through Application Authorization and Authentication, only known users are able to access critical applications, providing superior protection and preventing data loss. Barracuda Load Balancer ADC offers proven technology that has blocked more than 11 billion real-world attacks combined with outstanding ease of use with pre-built application templates for rapid deployment.
