Case Study: Club de Foot Montréal achieves reliable stadium connectivity and robust data protection with Barracuda Networks

Pro soccer squad secures stadium despite troubled times Barracuda, Natrix ensure continuity of coverage for valued customer

Club de Foot Montréal (formerly Montreal Impact) needed to secure stadium and facility networks, protect business‑critical data, and provide reliable Wi‑Fi for nearly 20,000 match attendees across two locations. Facing high traffic demands and the added strain of pandemic revenue loss and license renewals, the team required redundant internet failover and a disaster‑proof backup strategy to keep operations and fan services running.

Working with Natrix and Barracuda, CF Montréal deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls at both sites, Barracuda Web Application Firewalls to secure fan-facing apps, and Barracuda Backup appliances with mutual replication. The result: stable, failover internet connectivity, robust redundant backups, an enhanced in‑match fan experience that drives revenue, and responsive vendor support that ensured continuity during difficult times.
