Barracuda Networks:Empowering Enterprises to be the King of their Data Storage Date:   Monday , July 01, 2013 South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) found themselves in need of an email archiving solution to be used as an effective tool for staff requesting preparation of legal discovery- a means of searching for and retrieving emails or files for use of evidence. Their main priorities were to minimize costs of manual labor in the legal discovery sector and increase proficiency. They compared several options due to strict budget constraints and found themselves to be in the middle of nowhere. The process of researching other message archiving solutions left the company frustrated and confused. SCDC met Barracuda Networks, a Computer and Networking Security Company who had successfully resolved several such cases for over 150,000 customers. And since then, they are happily residing in the arms of Barracuda Networks.
