Case Study: Datalink Networks achieves stronger phishing protection and reliable network security with Barracuda Networks' Email Protection & CloudGen Firewall

MSP and charterschool customer agree on Barracuda for optimal security

Datalink Networks partnered with Birmingham Community Charter High School, a large California charter with ~3,200 students and ~130 teachers, to address growing security and reliability concerns. The school needed to replace aging Huawei firewalls amid data‑privacy worries, improve phishing protection during a planned migration to Microsoft 365, and speed up security incident response while preserving limited IT resources.

Datalink deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewall (with high‑availability) and Barracuda Email Protection as part of an ongoing MSP engagement and M365 migration. The result: stronger, more reliable network security, vastly improved phishing defense with automated incident response that saves IT time, and a deeper MSP relationship now exploring expanded protection like Barracuda XDR.
