Case Study: Altinet achieves 170% revenue growth and MSP scalability with Barracuda Networks' CloudGen Firewall

Leading British VAR Succeeds with Managed Service Offering

Altinet is a Leeds-based value-added reseller and managed service provider founded in 2013 that grew rapidly in the education sector. Customers were deterred by high up-front capital costs for multi-year licenses and often lacked the in-house expertise to deploy and maintain comprehensive security solutions, so Altinet needed a lower-cost, fully managed alternative.

Altinet launched a subscription-based managed service hosted on AWS and protected by Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, bundling advanced security and day-to-day management into one predictable fee. The approach delivered high availability and reduced licensing barriers, driving 170% revenue growth in 2016 and supporting ambitious revenue and staffing targets in subsequent years.
