Barracuda's new NG Firewall line of hardware and virtual appliances are designed to protect enterprise network infrastructure, improve site-to-site connectivity and simplify administration of network operations.
The Barracuda NG Firewall is the first product launched since Barracuda Networks' acquisition of phion AG, a firewall provider based in Austria, in September 2009. The NG Firewall is offered in seven hardware models ranging from small branch office to large enterprises and data centers as well as a corresponding offering of virtual appliances. U.S. prices range from $599 to $40,000.
The Barracuda NG Firewall combines Web and e-mail filtering, intrusion prevention, Layer 7 application profiling and network access control into a platform that can be centrally managed, across all enterprise network locations, including remote, home and branch offices, as well as regional headquarters and data centers.
Administrators can control application-level routing and prioritization of traffic across multiple links, tunnels and traffic conditions. To back up WAN connections, Barracuda NG Firewall appliances support a variety of links via most including T1/T3, DSL, ISDN, and 3G wireless mobile data standards. In the event of a WAN link loss, VPN traffic is automatically reprioritized over the remaining WAN links. Barracuda NG Firewall appliances support the traditional IPSec protocol for cross vendor compatibility.
