 Barracuda Link Balancer
The Barracuda Link Balancer is an affordable and powerful solution
for routing and managing traffic across multiple Internet connections.
Designed to scale for high bandwidth requirements and provide business
continuity for an organization of any size, the Barracuda Link Balancer
optimizes the use of multiple Internet links, such as T1s, T3s, DSL and
cable connections from one or multiple Internet service providers.
Capable of automatic fail-over in the event of link failure, the
Barracuda Link Balancer helps ensure that your network is always
connected to the Internet.
Benefits of Barracuda Link Balancer
- Automated failover in case of link failure
- Bandwidth management
- Quality of Service (QoS) for Internet applications
- Traditional firewall
- Provides site-to-site VPN with link failover
Cost-effective Internet Performance and Availability
The Barracuda Link Balancer dynamically balances traffic across multiple
ISP links to ensure Internet continuity and availability, even during
ISP outages. It balances both outbound and inbound traffic
intelligently, so users have Internet access whenever they need it.
Application prioritization and granular quality-of-service (QoS)
policies assure priority to business-critical application traffic – and
the applications remain available even when links fail. It deploys
quickly and transparently into existing networks without changes to
configuration or topology. Secure and affordable, the Barracuda Link
Balancer streamlines bandwidth management while providing maximum
Internet access.
Reduces Downtime
Unplanned Internet outages are common, and will continue to occur as
long as natural disasters, power outages, cable damage, router failure,
and security threats exist. The Barracuda Link Balancer immediately
detects ISP failures and switches connections transparently from a
failed link to an available link without affecting users or
services. Hosted applications like CRM, order tracking, backup, or other
services from cloud providers continue to be available when ISPs fail,
leading to higher productivity across the organization.
Protects the Organization and Brand
With built-in inbound link balancing, the Barracuda Link Balancer keeps
Internet services up and available. Remote employees benefit from
continued access to email and VPN, while business-critical applications
like customer and partner portals, VOIP, and other services are always
available. Quality of Service (QoS) policies ensure that critical
application traffic takes priority and prevents congestion.
Increased Bandwidth Availability
Mix and match fast T1 and MPLS lines with low-cost DSL and cable -- from
one or more ISPs -- for increased bandwidth at lower costs. No link
bonding or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is needed. Affordably priced,
with no per-port or per user fees, the Barracuda Link Balancer is an
exceptional value. In addition, it reduces bandwidth costs and often
pays for itself within one year.
Provides Easy, Drop-in Deployment
Transparent deployment ensures seamless operation with existing legacy
firewalls and gateways without any configuration changes. Simply plug
the Barracuda Link Balancer into existing network infrastructure.
