New enterprise web filter released

Loophold releases Barracuda Web Filter

LOOPHOLD Security Distribution, a distributor of Barracuda Networks products in southern Africa, has added the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 to its solutions offerings for customers.

Designed for large organisations, the Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is capable of handling up to 12,000 concurrent users in a single appliance.

Says Martin Tassev, MD of LOOPHOLD Security Distribution, “Organisations today are faced with a plethora of security risks coupled with what are sometimes substantial cutbacks in their IT budgets. The Barracuda Web Filter 1010 is the perfect solution for organisations that require a comprehensive security solution without complex deployment, high user fees, and high maintenance.”

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.
