Over the last couple of days we've made some announcements regarding our award-winning Barracuda Backup:
- The launch of the Barracuda Backup 290
- The resizing of the Barracuda Backup 390
- The VMware Ready certification for the Barracuda Backup as part of the VMware TAP program
Let's start with the first one in that list. The Barracuda Backup 290 offers 1 TB of usable space, with a 500GB recommended backup volume. The sizing makes it perfect for the small and medium-size organization. It is our smallest rackmount unit in the Barracuda Backup line, and it weighs about 9lbs.
Like other Barracuda Backup models, it includes these features:
- Déduplication des données à la volée
- Réplication cloud intégrée
- Réplication de site à site
- LiveBoot et Cloud LiveBoot
- Restauration précise des fichiers et des messages
- Interface de gestion cloud unifiée
- No per-server or per-application fees
And like the Barracuda Backup 190 and 390, the new 290 is available as a Backup as a Service subscription.
Speaking of the Barracuda Backup 390, we've increased the storage size on that to 2TB, with a recommended backup volume of 1TB. This model is a 1U rackmount appliance and includes a 2×2 TB Redundant Disk Array (RAID).
Another announcement that we made this week is that the Barracuda Backup has achieved VMware Ready status. The VMware Ready program allows us to assure customers that our products have been jointly tested, and they are ready to be deployed in production installations. It speaks to the quality and reliability of the product, and it VMware's highest level of endorsement for a product or service offered by a VMware partner.
In addition to the VMware Ready status, Barracuda Backup has recently achieved the following industry recognition:
- Once again ranked #1 in Integrated Systems for Purpose-Built Backup Appliance (PBBA) units shipped in IDC’s Worldwide Purpose-Built Backup Appliance tracker for Q1 CY2014.
- Achieved a Top-Five ranking in IDC’s Top-Five Vendors, Worldwide PBBA Factory Revenue Tracker with 29.8 percent year-over-year revenue growth for Q1 CY2014.
- Recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup Software and Integrated Appliances report for the first time June 2014.
