The Barracuda NextGen Control Center ensures highly secure, encrypted traffic from, to, and within Microsoft Azure, providing secure remote and site-to-site access, and centralized management.

The growth in cloud computing capabilities and services has driven more data into places where traditional IT security measures cannot reach - into data centers not owned by your corporate IT group. The Barracuda NextGen Control Center provides centralized management and highly secure, encrypted traffic to, from, and within Microsoft Azure deployments. Securing applications and data in Microsoft Azure is far easier with tools that are dedicated to the task. Deploying the Barracuda NextGen Control Center in the cloud is very similar to running local network firewalls, and provides the advantages of common policy enforcement and distributed security management in a hybrid-IT environment. It provides next-generation firewalling and secure remote access to Microsoft Azure. It enables organizations to deploy sophisticated multi-zone network architecture in Microsoft Azure, just like their on-premises networks.

By using the proprietary high-performance VPN protocol extension TINA, the Barracuda NextGen Control Center deployment enables secure high-speed site-to-site and client-to-site connectivity between on-premises networks and mobile-user devices, as well as connectivity between VNETs in Microsoft Azure. Best of all, it features the industry's best centralized management, ensuring highly scalable and fault tolerant network infrastructure required by today's users, without the management overhead.

Regaining Control of User Activity

Cost Efficiency

The Barracuda NextGen Control Center gives full control over system administration costs.

Lifecycle costs: Central update management drastically lowers the time spent deploying patches. Even Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls, with different software versions can be centrally managed at the same time.
Deployment costs: Using the Barracuda NextGen Control Center, rollouts with hundreds of devices can be completed within a few weeks instead of months.
Operating costs: The Barracuda NG Control Center helps to significantly reduce the cost associated with security management while providing extra functionality both centrally and locally at the managed gateways.

Central Management

Security Management with Ease

Firewall rulesets and other security policies, as well as, software patches and version upgrades are centrally controlled from within the management console. Deployment can be scheduled and applied to all managed devices. Highly customizable administrative roles allow delegation of administrative capabilities for specific departments or locations. Administrators are kept informed at all times on the status of remote gateways and can implement centrally defined security rules at every location. Furthermore, the integrated revision control system provides easy audits and cuts overhead.

How to Deploy the Barracuda NextGen Control Center on Microsoft Azure

The Barracuda NextGen Control Center Azure can be deployed as a virtual machine in the Microsoft Azure cloud. You can use up-to-date Application Control 2.0, user awareness, integrated malware protection, and VPN services to securely handle and manage all traffic in your virtual network.

Protecting your Digital Assets in Microsoft Azure with the Barracuda NextGen Control CenterProtecting your Digital Assets in Microsoft Azure with the Barracuda NextGen Control Center

The growth in cloud computing capabilities and services has driven more data into places where traditional IT security measures cannot reach - into data centers not owned by your corporate IT group. The Barracuda NextGen Control Center ensures highly secure, encrypted traffic within Microsoft Azure, provides secure remote and site-tosite access, and centralized management.

The Barracuda NextGen Control Center fills the functional gaps between cloud infrastructure security and a defense-in-depth strategy by providing protection where the application and data reside, rather than solely where the connection terminates.

Because of the isolation between VMs, tenants, and virtual networks, the Barracuda NextGen Control Center operates just as if it were a physical device bridging connections between application servers in a network DMZ and your ISP's router.

Since no traffic is allowed from the Microsoft Azure Fabric, host OS, or hypervisor to a tenant's virtual network or VMs, the NextGen Control Center can intercept all Layer 2 through 7 traffic and apply policy-based controls, authentication, filtering, and other capabilities. And as with its physical counterpart, the same traffic management and bandwidth optimizations can be used to make the environment more efficient, thereby using fewer billable cloud resources.

Beyond its powerful network firewall, high availability, and VPN technologies, the Barracuda NextGen Control Center integrates a comprehensive set of next-generation firewall technologies, including Application Control, IPS, anti-malware, network access control enforcement, and comprehensive user awareness. The Barracuda NextGen Control Center is fully compatible with Microsoft Azure for establishing site-to-site and/or client-to-site connections to its cloud services, and creating a virtual DMZ in Azure to implement an additional high-security layer.

The Barracuda NextGen Control Center merges the worlds of on-premises data center network protection with cloud IT security needs, helping you close the gaps between native Microsoft Azure capabilities and traditional hardware-based application firewalls.

Deploying the Barracuda NextGen Control Center in the cloud is very similar to running local network firewalls, and provides the advantages of common policy enforcement and distributed security management in a hybrid-IT environment.
