Barracuda Load Balancer ADC Product Line Receives Performance Boost

Barracuda announced today that it is increasing the capacity and performance of its Load Balancer ADC models at no additional cost to the products.  With this announcement Barracuda is doubling the port capacity of its Load Balancer ADC models 340, 440, and 540 so customers can 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.”

Pricing and Availability

The latest hardware revisions for the Barracuda Load Balancer ADC are available immediately.  Barracuda Load Balancer ADC list pricing starts at $1499 USD.
