Barracuda Networks Virtual Appliances
A virtual appliance is a software image designed to run inside a virtual machine. When deployed inside a virtualization platform, such as VMware, multiple virtual appliances can share the physical resources of a single host computer while remaining logically isolated from each other. Barracuda Networks currently offers virtual appliance versions of many of its popular hardware appliance solutions to leverage the benefits of virtualization.
Barracuda Virtual Appliances provide the same technology found in the Barracuda Networks hardware solutions and are ideal for enterprises that are standardizing hardware platforms or with existing virtual environments. Barracuda Virtual Appliances can be deployed on standard virtualization platforms and can co-exist with other virtual machines, thereby enabling optimal usage of hardware resources. As the organization grows, virtual appliances can be scaled for capacity without changing any hardware or software configurations. Also, virtual appliances can be easier to backup and restore using standard mechanisms for disaster recovery.

We love our new Barracuda SPAM Firewall. We knew we had a SPAM problem but never knew the extent of it, 80% of our incoming mail was SPAM. We were managing without the SPAM filter but now that we have the Barracuda in place we don't know how we ever lived without it.
Thank you Barracuda Networks & Optrics Engineering!

I just wanted to let you know that we have decided to keep the Barracuda. As a matter a fact, we wouldn't dream of giving it back. The box is doing an excellent job of reducing our spam to an almost non-existent state.
As well we were very pleased with the Tech Support provided by
Shaun [from Optrics]. He is very knowledgeable and always steered us in the right direction.
