Case Study: Elevate Technology Group restores rural Oregon connectivity with Barracuda secure networking

Elevate Technology Group restores rural Oregon connectivity after the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire with Barracuda Networks

Elevate Technology Group, a provider serving rural and public-sector organizations, faced the challenge of restoring vital communications for communities in Oregon after the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire destroyed critical infrastructure. With conventional connectivity options ineffective in the rugged terrain, the Barracuda partner needed a solution to create a resilient network for emergency services and residents.

To address this, Elevate Technology Group deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Barracuda SecureEdge solutions. These provided traffic prioritization for essential applications and automatic failover between internet connections, ensuring critical services remained online during constrained bandwidth or link failures. The Barracuda solutions helped establish a secure and resilient communications foundation that continued to support the community through subsequent wildfires and storms, enabling residents to stay connected and access information.
