Virtual versions of Barracuda’s hardware appliance-
based solutions
VIRTUALIZATION
As organizations have adopted virtualization for their server infrastructures,
there has been a corresponding trend to extend the benefits of virtualization
to the security layer. Barracuda’s award-winning security solutions are also
available as virtual appliances.
Barracuda’s virtual appliances are complete solutions, eliminating the need for
installing, configuring, and integrating disparate operating system, database,
system management, and application software. In addition, Barracuda’s
virtual appliances come “locked down” from a security perspective, built from
the ground up on the Barracuda OS, a hardened Linux operating kernel and
optimized to run seamlessly within virtualized environments. Barracuda’s
virtual appliances are packaged and distributed in Open Virtualization Format
(OVF) or XVA to support environments such as VMware, KVM, XenServer, and
Hyper-V (with release 5.4.3 scheduled for Q1 2014) respectively.
