Easy, Fast and Clear

Barracuda NG Earth allows administrators to easily manage multiple firewall locations using hotkeys and drop-down menus on the navigation bar at the top of the graphical display. Using Barracuda NG Earth, administrators can view:

• Detailed product information such as firmware version, model and serial numbers, system status and local device time, as well as configuration settings.
• Physical and political maps showing national boundaries, country names and capital cities to improve clarity and navigation.
• Drop-down list navigation to easily switch between locations and view the respective site-to-site tunnel and status in real time.

Barracuda NG Earth 2.0 requires minimal system resources such as hard drive space and memory. Administrators who prefer using lightweight subnotebooks and netbooks can use Barracuda NG Earth reliably on these devices to view detailed information on the go.

"Barracuda NG Earth 2.0 sets a completely new benchmark for efficient management of enterprise networks," said Klaus Gheri, VP product management Europe at Barracuda Networks. "The extremely simple handling, clarity and low system resource requirements make Barracuda NG Earth a unique management tool for centrally managing global VPN connections.“
