Barracuda Networks Launches New Barracuda Message Archiver Models for Enterprises
2008-04-30
Interop 2008, Las Vegas, April 29, 2008 – (Booth # 621) Barracuda
Networks Inc., the worldwide leader in email and Web security appliances, today
launched the Barracuda Message Archiver 850 and 950 models for enterprises and
large organizations searching for an affordable solution to preserve and index
all emails. The Barracuda Message Archiver 850 and 950 models also help
organizations to efficiently store and manage emails while satisfying regulatory
compliance criteria for saving email.
“One of the biggest challenges facing larger organizations today is the need to
balance making sure that their email server continues to operate efficiently
while also future proofing their network for compliance,” said Stephen Pao, vice
president of product management for Barracuda Networks. “The Barracuda Message
Archiver 850 and 950 enable enterprise customers to achieve legal and regulatory
compliance needs while making more efficient use of storage technology by
providing increased performance, reliability and scalability inside the IT
organization.”
The Barracuda Message Archiver 850 can archive and index email for up to 4,000
users and the Barracuda Message Archiver 950 has enough processing power to
handle 6,000 users. Both models include dual-redundant power supplies and
hot-swappable RAID arrays. In addition to offering the full set of storage
capabilities – including single instance storage and built-in storage and
redundancy through internal or external mirroring – offered with all Barracuda
Message Archiver models, the Barracuda Message Archiver 850 and 950 models also
include a hardware-based iSCSI host based adapter for high-performance
interaction with Storage Area Networks.
Reliable Search and Storage for Public Records Requests
As the second largest school district in Washington with more than 29,000
students spread across 54 schools, the Spokane Public School District in Spokane
needed to ensure that it was equipped to quickly respond to email discovery
requests. In Washington, all public organizations, including school districts,
are subject to public records requests and various entities can request specific
information, such as emails, related to district operations. Spokane Public
Schools selected the Barracuda Message Archiver 850 to help manage and store the
email of its more than 4,500 email users to fulfill these public records
requests.
“Prior to installing the Barracuda Message Archiver 850 there was no centralized
way to fulfill this type of request,” said Brown. “All employees would be asked
to go through their own email inboxes and forward any emails related to the
specific request to the IT staff for inclusion in a response to the requesting
entity. This was a slow, time-consuming and ineffective process.”
As with the full Barracuda Message Archiver product line, the Barracuda Message
Archiver 850 and 950 offer a complete set of message archiving features designed
with both compliance and storage efficiency in mind. The Barracuda Message
Archiver stores and indexes all email for easy search and retrieval by both
regular users and third-party auditors and offers greater ease of use and
administration, enabling deployment in less than 60 minutes.
“We were pleased that the Barracuda Message Archiver 850 not only was able to
archive on a going forward basis but it also allowed us to automatically import
in all messages already in our email system giving us access to information that
had been up to that point difficult to retrieve,” said Brown. “In addition it is
easy to maintain and we appreciate that updates and enhancements are made in a
timely fashion.”
Pricing and Availability
The Barracuda Message Archiver 850 and 950 are currently available in the U.S.
and priced at $29,999 and $44,999 respectively with no per user licensing fees.
International pricing and availability varies by region. For more information,
