Barracuda Networks Inc. (
Barracuda Networks) has expanded its ‘Cloud Ready’ program to offer businesses a free 90-day cloud license for its ‘Barracuda Web Application Firewall’ and ‘Barracuda NextGen Firewall’ on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure (Azure). Barracuda Networks, which has headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, is a leading security, application delivery and data protection solutions provider. The company’s products and services are available to a range of industries and extend to data protection, application delivery and network security solutions.
Barracuda’s public cloud security options offer firewalls for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and have been utilized by “more than 50 of the Fortune 1000 companies”. Its solutions are available on a ‘Pay-as-You-Go’ basis through AWS and Azure’s marketplaces and can be integrated with AWS and Azure to provide “auto-scaling, templated configurations, bootstrapping, data-logging” and other features. Barracuda’s Cloud Ready program now allows IT buyers to “secure their new or existing workloads in both AWS and Azure at no charge for 90 days”.
“Migrating legacy workloads or new applications to the cloud can be a significant effort, and many organizations make the costly mistake of blindly assuming their legacy on-premises security solutions will extend to the cloud without considering whether these solutions can meet the unique requirements of the cloud,” explained Barracuda’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Michael Hughes. “Barracuda’s security solutions are purpose built to bridge the gap between your on-premises and cloud infrastructures. Based on feedback from our public cloud partners who want to offer the same capabilities to their customers, we’ve expanded our Cloud Ready program to help simplify the process so that customers can move to the cloud faster, more cost effectively, and with greater confidence.”
