| Barracuda Spam Firewall Named 2007 Community Choice Award Winner by Windows IT Pro for Second Year in a Row |
Campbell, Calif., August 1, 2007 - Barracuda Networks, Inc., a leading provider of network security appliances, today announced that the Barracuda Spam Firewall was once again named as the "Community Choice Awards" winner in the "AntiSpam Solutions for Business" category by Penton Media's Windows IT Pro.
"The 2007 Community Choice Awards continue our tradition of honoring those products that our readers tell us are most worthy of recognition," said Kim Paulsen, group publisher of Windows IT Pro. "These are hardware, software and services that measure up where it counts most - in the businesses, agencies and institutions that rely on them to deliver what they promise."
Windows IT Pro forums and several Windows user groups were asked to vote on their product preferences in 12 broad technology categories.
"The voters are tough, in-the-trenches critics," Paulsen continued. "They demand solid value and performance from the products they use and put those products to the test day after day. Community Choice award winners can feel proud that the products and services they develop have earned the respect and recognition of the IT world's most knowledgeable and exacting professionals."
"It is always an honor for the Barracuda Spam Firewall to be recognized by Windows IT Pro readers," said Dean Drako, president and CEO of Barracuda Networks. "By taking the time to voice an opinion, it shows that our customers enthusiastically trust and rely on Barracuda Networks for comprehensive and powerful protection against spam, viruses and other Internet security threats."
