Barracuda Networks Doubles Cloud Storage For Same Price

Barracuda Networks Inc. has doubled the amount
of cloud storage available to Barracuda Backup Service customers at the same
low price.

The new cloud storage pricing features 200GB of storage for $50 per month. This rate, at just $0.25/GB monthly, includes unlimited backup and restore bandwidth.

Barracuda Networks offers 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.

"Data usage is increasing quickly while IT
budgets are falling under considerable pressure," said Guy Suter, general manager of the Barracuda Backup
Service. "Barracuda Networks is once again raising the bar on storage requirements and deliverables. We make
the choice simple for customers transitioning
from old tapes to modern backup technology by doubling
the cloud storage available for the same low cost."

Barracuda Networks broke the mold for cloud storage
when its flat-rate pricing was first introduced. Typically, low pricing is reserved for customers with
special volume discounts. The Barracuda Networks
pricing difference allows all customers, regardless of
size, to benefit from the cloud’s scale with a single
low storage price. Barracuda Networks’ cloud
storage efficiently stores de-duplicated customer data at two locations in addition to a third copy at
the customer’s own site.
The increased storage amount is available
to both new and current Barracuda Backup Service customers.

"We are excited to make this
change across all of our customers right away. We believe existing customers should be able to take
advantage of the new pricing without having to wait for contract renewals. It really is a no brainer for
companies looking to leverage this type of technology at a fraction of the cost of legacy solutions,"
continued Suter.

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 backup
solution with technical advantages.

Pricing and Availability:
The Barracuda Backup Service includes a one-time
hardware purchase of a Barracuda Backup Server, priced from $999, with an Energize Updates
subscription, priced from $199 per year. Cloud storage service can be added in 200GB increments for $50 per
month ($0.25/GB). The Barracuda Backup Service is available in North America, South America
and Europe.
