CAMPBELL, Calif., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Barracuda Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA), a leading provider of cloud-connected security and storage solutions, today announced virtual license portability for several Barracuda virtual products in its security product portfolio. This capability allows customers to purchase a virtual license – across premises-based virtual environments including VMware, Citrix and Microsoft, and public cloud deployments in Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure – and transfer that license to other private or public virtual platforms at no additional cost.
According to a May 2014 survey by Tech Pro Research, Hybrid Cloud: Benefits, roadblocks, favored vendors, 70 percent of respondents said they had implemented or were evaluating a hybrid cloud solution. Barracuda's cloud-connected subscription solutions offer customers flexible deployment options for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. The new virtual license portability further simplifies this migration by enabling hybrid cloud deployments across private and public cloud environments, providing the security, reliability, control and flexibility that an organization needs.
"Barracuda is all about giving our customers choices and helping them simplify their IT infrastructure," said Steve Pao, GM Security at Barracuda. "Our new virtual license portability gives customers deployment flexibility and provides a company with the ability to transfer its virtual license from a public cloud to their private cloud environment, or between public cloud services, offering investment protection."
Pricing and Availability
Barracuda virtual license portability is available beginning August 3, 2014, on Barracuda Spam Firewall Vx and Barracuda Web Application Firewall Vx. As additional Barracuda public cloud offerings become available for Barracuda Load Balancer ADC Vx, Barracuda Web Filter Vx, and Barracuda SSL VPN Vx, virtual license portability will apply. Customers who purchase a virtual license in any form can exchange that license to any other equivalent form factor at no additional cost. Pricing and availability vary by product and region.
