Barracuda Networks Introduces market Disruptive Pricing and Simplified User Interface for BarracudaWare’s Yosemite Server Backup
Campbell, Calif., July 15, 2009 – Barracuda Networks Inc., the worldwide leader in content security appliances, today announced enhancements to the user interface of the BarracudaWare Yosemite Server Backup that will drastically improve the customer experience. In addition, with a simplified pricing structure that features only four options – ranging from $299 for single server to only $1499 for unlimited usage – Yosemite Server Backup is the most affordable data protection solution available.
“Until now there has not been an affordable, full-featured backup option for organizations that matches their network needs out of the box,” said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks. “Restructuring the Yosemite Server Backup pricing ensures that organizations of all size can afford a solution that fits within their budgets and that does not charge extra for crucial features and additional options.”
Yosemite Server Backup combines superior performance and flexibility for backup utilities with operating systems and devices without the complex licensing and administration models of other commercial backup solutions. The Yosemite Server Backup product is available in four affordable packages with no additional fees for clients, servers, agents or other options.
New Pricing Leads to 90 Percent Savings for Customers
Howe Electric Construction Inc., one of the largest union electrical contracting firms in Central Californiafor more than 50 years, displaced Symantec’s Backup Exec in favor of the Yosemite Server Backup Unlimited package to protect the data on the company’s eight Windows and Linux servers. Since deployment, the company has experienced dramatic savings.
“The solution we were using was costing us a fortune, so we decided to look for a more affordable alternative,” said Joe Glessner, IT manager for Howe Electric. “We couldn’t believe the cost savings associated with the Yosemite Server Backup, so we downloaded the trial version and were amazed by the great features and ease of use. We now save 90 percent over what we were paying for the previous solution and enjoy all of the same benefits and more.”
