Barracuda, a leading provider of cloud-connected security and storage solutions, today announced that it has been ranked number one in integrated purpose built backup appliance (PBBA) units shipped worldwide with 40.7 percent market share for C1Q15 as reported by the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Purpose Built Backup Appliance (PBBA) Tracker.

“As virtualization continues to foster dispersion of applications and data, we have seen our customers distribute security enforcement points across different parts of the network and across data centers,” noted Stephen Pao, GM Security, Barracuda. “While security enforcement points disperse, IT operations managers continue to express their desire to manage those dispersed enforcement points from a single pane of glass. The enhancements made to Barracuda Web Application Firewall and Barracuda Control Server came from direct customer feedback around many of these use cases.”

“Many organizations, particularly schools, carefully consider the choice of consolidating or separating their firewall and web filtering solutions as they balance their security needs, performance requirements, and existing infrastructure,” said Stephen Pao, GM Security, Barracuda. “The recent enhancements made to Barracuda’s firewall and web security products allow education customers to deploy best-in-class web security architectures, either integrated as a feature of their next-generation firewalls, or integrated as discrete firewall and web security appliances.”

Barracuda is expanding on its existing flexible options for businesses to manage their data protection and disaster recovery needs.
