Barracuda launches firewall for Microsoft Azure Germany

Barracuda has announced availability of the first next-generation firewall available in Microsoft Azure Germany (Azure Germany). With Azure Germany, Microsoft offers customers an option to limit data storage to German data centres, giving them additional choices of how and where their data is processed or stored. Barracuda NextGen Firewall is the first next-generation firewall to support Azure Germany, giving companies in Germany and the EU access to an advanced security solution that can be purchased and deployed directly from Azure Security Centre with minimal effort.
