Improve Performance, Availability, and Security of Distributed Networks
Designed for modern networks, our F-Series firewalls are purpose-built to help your organization adopt cloud-based business applications and improve user productivity across highly-distributed networks. In addition to securing the network, they optimize network traffic and ensure users have access to the resources they need across on-premises, private, and public cloud environments.
In addition to next-generation firewall protection, the F-Series Firewall provides industry-leading operational efficiency and added business value by safeguarding network traffic against line outages and link quality degradation
The Barracuda F-Series Firewall delivers scalable, efficient configuration and lifecycle management across dispersed networks, and performance to business-critical applications. Industry-leading centralized management significantly lowers overall operational cost for multi-site deployments.
