Barracuda Load Balancer
Continuous availability solution for distributing network traffic across multiple servers
Designed to achieve high availability and security objectives, the Barracuda Load Balancer integrates server load balancing and network intrusion 
prevention into an affordable and easy-to-use solution.  The Barracuda Load Balancer provides distribution of traffic across multiple servers, 
integrated protection from network intrusions, and comprehensive failover capabilities in case of server failure.  With no per server or per port 
license fees, the Barracuda Load Balancer offers the most affordable solution for scaling and protecting mission-critical data centers.
High Availability and Scalability
For  high  traffic  environments,  the  Barracuda  Load 
Balancer  can  distribute  traffic  based  on  several 
scheduling algorithms, including round robin, server 
weighting, and least connections.  For applications 
requiring persistence, the Barracuda Load Balancer 
can  maintain  state  using  client  IP  addresses  and 
client cookies. 
The  Barracuda  Load  Balancer’s  integrated  service 
monitor  ensures  that  servers  and  their  associated 
applications  are  always  operational.    In  the  event 
of  server  or  application  outage,  the  Barracuda 
Load Balancer facilitates automatic failover among 
servers to ensure continuous availability. To mitigate 
risks associated with failures of the load balancers 
themselves,  two  Barracuda  Load  Balancers  can  be 
deployed in an active/passive configuration.
Easy-to-Use and Maintain
To minimize ongoing administration associated with security, the Barracuda Load Balancer automatically receives Energize Updates for the latest 
intrusion prevention definitions and security updates.  Energize Updates are distributed hourly by Barracuda Central, an advanced technology 
center where engineers continuously monitor and alleviate the latest Internet threats.
The Barracuda Load Balancer distributes traffic for multiple services,  including Web, email, 
and other network applications.
