Barracuda announces today that it is increasing the capacity and performance of its Load Balancer ADC models without increasing prices. With this announcement Barracuda is doubling the port capacity of its Load Balancer ADC models 340, 440, and 540 to help cost-conscious organizations deploy hardware-based server load balancing to their critical internal IT and customer-facing applications. Additionally, Barracuda Load Balancer ADC model 840 includes hardware-based SSL acceleration to support higher transactions per second for high performance web application security and SSL offloading.



"We have long felt that most of the incumbents in the server load balancing space have priced their products outside the ranges accessible to many organizations who still require scalability, redundancy and security for their internal IT and customer-facing applications," explains Stephen Pao, GM Security, Barracuda. "Disrupting this space is why we entered this market over eight years ago, and it's why we're continuing to push these economics with these hardware revisions today."



Barracuda Load Balancer ADC combines server load balancing, access control, and application security. Hardware improvements include:



--  Throughput - Increases the throughput on model 340 from 1Gbps to 1.2 Gbps. Doubles the throughput on model 440 from 1 Gbps to 2 Gbps, and on model 540 from 2 Gbps to 4 Gbps.

--  Networking Ports - Doubles the number of 1GbE networking ports on models 340 and 440 from 2 ports to 4 ports, and model 540 from 4 ports to 8 ports. The increased ports from 2 to 4 ports on the models 340 and 440 enable them to support the higher throughput, redundant link aggregation, and additional flexibility to physically isolate VLAN networks.

--  Hardware-based SSL Acceleration in Barracuda ADC model 840 - Increases the performance of enforcing web application security for SSL encrypted web transactions and offloading SSL operations from backend application servers.

--  No Changes to Pricing - The latest hardware revisions feature the highest performance-to-price ratio with the most robust networking options.
