Web App Firewall
The Barracuda NG was recently voted as the best enterprise firewall by SC Magazine and it’s no wonder it has been the hottest selling firewall appliance on the market today. The Barracuda NG Firewall features intelligent site-to-site traffic management capabilities that optimize both availability and performance of the wide area network. Administrators can control application-level routing and prioritization of traffic across multiple links, tunnels and traffic conditions. Supported link types include dedicated lines, xDSL, 3G wireless mobile networks and any other link types presented as a copper or optical ethernet link. All NG firewall support connectivity to multiple ISP internet links for failover or bandwidth optimization.

To centralize management across many different firewalls and remote access users, the Barracuda NG Control Center enables administrators to configure security and network access policies, control firmware update revisions and manage user settings. Template-based configuration and globally available security objects enable efficient configuration across thousands of locations. Highly customizable administrative roles can be defined to delegate administrative capabilities for specific departments or locations.
