"One of the biggest challenges facing larger organizations today are
shrinking IT budgets and an increase in security risks," said Stephen Pao,
vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks. "The Barracuda
Web Filter 1010 is our most powerful, fully integrated Web filtering solution
to date, making it a perfect choice for high-end customers looking to meet
growing security demands without the deployment complexity or per user fees
associated with incumbent solutions."

Like other Barracuda Web Filter models, the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is
an integrated appliance that provides integrated malware protection, content
filtering, application policy control, and an embedded database and reporting
engine. A single Barracuda Web Filter 1010 can handle one gigabit per second
(Gbps) throughput and features a Web cache size of one terabyte (TB).

Able to manage policy for up to 15,000 TCP connections at one time, the
Barracuda Web Filter 1010 has four network interfaces that can be used
simultaneously in WCCP deployment or in two LAN/WAN pairs in an inline
deployment. Multiple Barracuda Web Filter 1010 models can be clustered for
both scalability and redundancy. Through the Barracuda Control Center,
Barracuda Web Filter models of different sizes can be centrally managed,
enabling enforcement of Internet policy across an entire distributed
organization.

Pricing and Availability

The Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is immediately orderable in the United
States and will begin shipping in June. The Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is
priced at US$89,999 for the appliance and US$24,299 per year for Energize 
Updates subscriptions that include content filter, application, antispyware,

About the Barracuda Web Filter

Available in seven models, the Barracuda Web Filter combines
preventative, reactive and proactive measures to form a complete content
filtering and anti-spyware solution for businesses of all sizes. The
Barracuda Web Filter is designed to enforce acceptable Internet usage
policies by blocking access to objectionable content and unauthorized
Internet applications. At the same time, the Barracuda Web Filter's
award-winning feature set enables the Barracuda Web Filter to block spyware
downloads, prevent viruses, and stop access to spyware Web sites. Unlike the
widely available desktop software solutions, the Barracuda Web Filter is
easily installed and does not require the additional time, money or resources
necessary for downloading and maintaining software on each individual PC.
Hourly Energize Updates are made automatically by Barracuda Central so that
the Barracuda Web Filter can block the ever-changing virus and spyware
variants, as well as maintain the most up-to-date database of the latest
productivity-inhibiting Web sites.
