Barracuda opens new UAE data centre to enable local cloud data protection – ITP.net

Barracuda Networks announced that its Cloud-to-Cloud Backup solution will now be delivered to customers in the UAE from Microsoft’s local cloud data centres.

This makes a total of 10 regions for the solution, and customers’ Office 365 backup data will be stored locally within the country, a key requirement for customers operating in regulated industries, and in complying with local regulations.

In a recent study conducted by Barracuda, organisations disclosed that data protection is both a security and regulatory concern for them. A full 69 percent of respondents said they are concerned about storage of the data being backed up outside their geography (geo residency).
