Case Study: Blinkbox saves millions and secures its cloud migration with Barracuda Networks' CloudGen WAF for Azure

Blinkbox Moves to the Cloud and Saves Millions of Dollars with Barracuda CloudGen WAF for Azure

Blinkbox, a UK movie‑streaming service with about 1 million users and a library of 20,000 titles, needed a highly available, secure and scalable platform to support growth. Challenges included safely backing up 1 PB of data, long lead times for additional encoding servers, and the imperative that the application remain secure and always available to maintain customer trust.

Blinkbox migrated its infrastructure to Microsoft Azure and deployed the Barracuda CloudGen WAF for Azure, gaining integrated application security, automated threat blocking and faster provisioning. The move reduced operational overhead and training needs, freed engineers to focus on customer experience, and delivered a cost‑effective, dynamically scalable solution expected to save the company millions of dollars.
