Case Study: Sanochemia Pharmazeutika AG achieves centralized, secure, high-availability network with Barracuda Networks' NG Firewall

Powerful, Scalable, Secure Well Thought-Out Barracuda NG Firewall Configuration Concept Convinces Sanochemia

Sanochemia Pharmazeutika AG, an Austrian pharmaceutical firm with 176 employees across four sites, needed to replace an aging, capacity‑strained firewall setup that routed all subsidiary traffic through two gateways. The company faced strict regulatory and IP‑protection requirements, plus the need for uniform security, bandwidth prioritization, scalable growth and affordable, centralized management—challenges made urgent when existing firewalls failed and had to be restored over a weekend.

Sanochemia deployed Barracuda NG Firewalls with the Barracuda NG Control Center, implemented rapidly to restore operations and then rolled out to all sites. The solution delivered centralized configuration and monitoring, integrated high availability and automatic link failover, VPN resilience, and bandwidth/traffic intelligence, resulting in a secure, highly available distributed network, simpler administration and a scalable platform for future expansion.
