Case Study: Continental Office achieves secure remote work and fast, reliable backups with Barracuda Networks

Office furniture leader gets modern data and network protection

Continental Office, a Columbus-founded provider of commercial interiors with 200+ employees across three locations, had outgrown its legacy open-source firewall and relied on a tape-based backup system that was slow and error-prone, creating security and operational bottlenecks as the company modernized.

The company deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Barracuda Backup, gaining enterprise-grade security and web filtering, reliable VPNs that made the shift to remote work seamless, and disk-to-disk-to-cloud encrypted backups. The new setup saved IT three to six hours weekly, enabled rapid, granular file restores that reduced rework in design, and improved overall operations and support responsiveness.
