New Pricing Structure Breaks the Mold on Pricing Models for Hybrid Backup Solutions. Barracuda Networks Inc., today announced a new pricing structure for its Barracuda Backup Service, which now features five times the amount of storage for the same entry-level price. The Barracuda Backup Service offsite storage plans are now available to customers for only $50 per month for every 100 GB of offsite backup storage with no overage fees, no agent fees and no per server fees. Barracuda Networks has done away with tiered pricing for backup storage and reduced the overall cost by more than 70 percent in many cases for its monthly storage charges. This new pricing helps customers achieve considerable ROI over more expensive hybrid, online or tape-only backup solutions. In addition, Barracuda Networks will continue to provide software agents, including agents for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Windows system state at no additional cost to customers, unlike competing online backup services, which often charge per agent and per server. Customers switching to the Barracuda Backup Service can potentially save thousands of dollars on typical backup costs. “We have noticed an increase in demand for reliable hybrid local and offsite backup solutions, which until the introduction of the Barracuda Backup Service, were expensive and cumbersome,” said Stephen Pao, vise president of product management for Barracuda Networks. ”We are breaking the mold with the new storage pricing structure for the Barracuda Backup Service, allowing our customers to get the full benefits of a hybrid solution without adding costs or complexity.” |
