SaaS applications like Microsoft Exchange Online demand low latency and high direct internet bandwidth, anytime and anywhere in the wide area network (WAN). When migrating data center workloads to public cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you need to ensure the same levels of security, connectivity, and availability at any location on the WAN—at a cost that doesn’t offset cloud migration savings.

Most enterprise wide area networks are decades old in design and technology, and were not built to handle such diverse and distributed requirements. This solution brief describes how Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls help to solve these issues.
