Case Study: Geocell achieves centralized network management and 24/7 cyber protection with Barracuda Networks' CloudGen Firewalls

Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls Protect the Ever-Expanding Operation of the Country of Georgia’s Leading Telecom Provider, Geocell

Geocell, Georgia’s leading telecommunications provider with about 2 million customers and 500 employees, outgrew its legacy Linux firewalls as the business expanded. The IT team needed a centralized administration console, traffic-shaping and prioritization for business-critical apps, virtualization support, and stronger protection against cyberattacks.

After testing competitors, Geocell deployed a clustered pair of Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Vx1000s (along with other Barracuda appliances), completing evaluation-to-production in about two months with minimal support tickets. The solution delivered centralized management, improved traffic visibility and shaping, faster threat detection and stronger protection with 24/7 updates, and positioned Geocell for further virtualization and datacenter expansion.
