Moving your IT Infrastructure to the Cloud? Running on Amazon Web Services?
Barracuda Networks is your partner for various kinds of deployments in Amazon Web Services. We understand your IT needs and provide best-of-breed solutions for firewalling, load balancing, web application security, and email security in the public cloud.
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.”
Move Your Physical Data Center to the Cloud with Amazon Web Services
Get Secure Connectivity with Visibility and Control by using the industry's most advanced next-generation firewall solution for deployments in Amazon Web Services. The Barracuda NextGen Control Center ensures highly secure, encrypted traffic from, to, and within AWS, provides secure remote and site-to-site access, and centralized management.
The growth in cloud computing capabilities and services has driven more data into places where traditional IT security measures cannot reach - into data centers not owned by your corporate IT group. Securing applications and data in AWS is far easier with tools that are dedicated to the task. Deploying the Barracuda NextGen Control Center in the cloud is very similar to running local network firewalls, and provides the advantages of common policy enforcement and distributed security management in a hybrid-IT environment. It provides next generation firewalling and secure remote access to AWS. It enables organizations to deploy sophisticated multi-zone network architecture in the cloud, just like their on-premises networks. By using the proprietary high-performance VPN protocol extension TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture), the Barracuda NextGen Control Center deployment enables secure high speed site-to-site and client-to-site connectivity between on-premises networks and mobile-user devices. The Barracuda NextGen Control Center adds a powerful and intuitive centralized management portal that makes it extremely simple to deploy, configure, update, and manage multiple units from a single location, while also providing comprehensive, real-time network visibility and reporting.
