Barracuda Web Filter 1010 Handles up to 12,000 Concurrent Users in a Single Appliance

Interop 2009, Las Vegas, May 19, 2009 – (Booth # 621) Barracuda Networks Inc., today announced the launch of the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 for large organizations, capable of handling up to 12,000 concurrent users in a single appliance. Starting at $89,999 with no per user fees, the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is the most affordable high-capacity Web filtering appliance on the market targeting enterprises and large organizations.

“One of the biggest challenges facing larger organizations today are shrinking IT budgets and an increase in security risks,” said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks. “The Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is our most powerful, fully integrated Web filtering solution to date, making it a perfect choice for high-end customers looking to meet growing security demands without the deployment complexity or per user fees associated with incumbent solutions.”

Like other Barracuda Web Filter models, the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is an integrated appliance that provides integrated malware protection, content filtering, application policy control, and an embedded database and reporting engine. A single Barracuda Web Filter 1010 can handle one gigabit per second (Gbps) throughput and features a Web cache size of one terabyte (TB).

Able to manage policy for up to 15,000 TCP connections at one time, the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 has four network interfaces that can be used simultaneously in WCCP deployment or in two LAN/WAN pairs in an inline deployment. Multiple Barracuda Web Filter 1010 models can be clustered for both scalability and redundancy. Through the Barracuda Control Center, Barracuda Web Filter models of different sizes can be centrally managed, enabling enforcement of Internet policy across an entire distributed organization.
