Barracuda Networks Inc. has unveiled multiple updates to its Barracuda Backup product line, including new subscription and cloud storage pricing for Barracuda Backup Vx and Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup in addition to two new large-scale backup models.
Barracuda Backup Vx is a software offering that can be deployed as a virtual appliance in VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V and includes the same integrated backup functionality as the physical Barracuda Backup appliance. The offering is available as a software subscription with pricing starting at $599 per socket per year. For offsite replication to Barracuda Cloud Storage, Barracuda Backup Vx can be coupled with a new metered cloud storage plan starting at a list price of $799 per TB per year. Capacity is measured based on how much cloud storage is consumed after deduplication and compression. Barracuda Cloud Storage includes WAN optimization, offsite compression and encryption, and offsite vaulting for extended retention for historical revisions. The company’s solution also includes geographic or colocation data redundancy.
Additionally, Barracuda has introduced a new standalone purchasing option for Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup. The solution can now be purchased as a standalone subscription starting at $20 per user per year.
The new Barracuda Backup models include the Barracuda Backup 790 with 12 TB of usable capacity and the Barracuda Backup 895 with 24 TB of usable capacity. The new additions offer customers greater flexibility and gives Barracuda customers more options when additional capacity is required. Pricing for the Barracuda Backup 790 appliance starts at $17,698, while the Barracuda Backup 895 appliance starts at $35,398.
