Barracuda Networks Inc., a top provider of cloud-connected security and storage solutions, also announced its new Data Protection Plus strategic initiative, aimed at helping customers access, retain and share critical data from anywhere and any device.
As part of this initiative, Barracuda is announcing several major enhancements and new releases across its portfolio of cloud-connected backup, archiving and productivity solutions, as well as the acquisition of C2C Systems, a major provider of information management, email archiving and PST management solutions.
Leveraging their investment in Barracuda, customers can simplify their IT infrastructure and centrally manage solutions across the Barracuda portfolio, regardless of the size or type of deployment, through integrated, easy-to-use web interfaces that support configuration, monitoring and reporting.
“Today’s modern workplace is more virtualised, cloud-enabled and mobile. One of IT’s biggest challenges is to ensure business applications are up and running, promoting application availability, productivity and collaboration, often with limited time and resources,” said Barracuda General Manager Storage Rod Mathews.
“Protecting the modern workplace demands a new way of thinking. Data Protection Plus enables and accelerates the use of virtualisation, cloud and mobile technologies and represents the latest innovation across our storage product line. Barracuda continues to make it easy for our customers to access, retain and share their critical information.”
“With the growth in cloud and virtualisation, data is more accessible than ever before,” said 451 Research Senior Storage Analyst Dave Simpson.
“IT organisations require solution flexibility to not only protect that data, but also provide fast recovery and availability options to workers everywhere. Barracuda’s approach to delivering multiple options across the storage portfolio gives customers that flexibility,” he remarked.
New functionality available as part of the Data Protection Plus initiative is included at no additional cost to customers with current Energise Updates subscriptions. Details on the individual product updates, general availability and pricing will be released in the coming weeks.
Barracuda’s Country Manager India and SAARC Murali Urs said: “We’re excited to launch our range of solutions in Sri Lanka. The IT industry here is very vigorous and advancing at a rapid pace hence the need to keep abreast with the latest solutions on offer suits us a lot. The response from the industry has been very promising and we’re confident of a strong and continued presence in Sri Lanka.”
South Asian Technologies Ltd. (SATL, the authorised distributors in Sri Lanka) CEO Sanjaya Padmaperuma statede: “We’re happy to welcome Barracuda to Sri Lanka. Barracuda enjoys an unblemished international reputation for the quality of its products and services. Endorsements from around the world stand testimony to its quality and reliability. I’m thus confident of its success among the large number of players in Sri Lanka’s thriving IT industry.
