However, as its usage and functionality evolve dramatically, it becomes critical and often difficult for IT organizations to sustain the modern work resources unless they procure cloud technology. This is precisely where Barracuda Networks - a worldwide leader in Security, Application Delivery and Data Protection Solutions - steps in. "Unlike start-ups, while migrating to cloud, established enterprises need support to combat the legacy issues that are dominated by Microsoft Exchange servers and PST files, database-driven applications and file server data," cites Murali Urs, Country Manager, Barracuda Networks, India. As one of the very few vendors to leverage in-house cloud infrastructure management, Barracuda has been untangling such Gordian knots through its solutions and simple solution management mechanisms that enable hassle-free and seamless migration, irrespective of the size, type and device.

"Ourinvention - Spam Firewall was quite a revelation in the network security industry that was predominantly plagued with tried-and-failed methods," avows Murali. Claimed to be one of the first vendors to publish WAF solutions for Cloud, this portfolio company works with various third parties as well as eminent public cloud solution providers and IaaS enablers to handhold marquee IT organizations that are in the pursuit of improved ROI and efficient, yet cost effective storage solutions. With over 150,000 renowned clients - covering CitiBank, Coca-Cola, IBM and Harvard University - in 100+ countries, the organization has been crowned with several recognitions akin to Data Centre ICT Security Product of the Year (2015), two gold and bronze awards at 11th Annual Info Security Products Guide Global Excellence (2015), and Best Upgrades at the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence (2015).
