New data centers in France, United Arab Emirates, and India help meet growing demand for cloud data protection
Barracuda Networks, Inc., a trusted partner and leading provider of cloud-first security solutions, announced three new regional Cloud-to-Cloud Backup data centers in France, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), and India to meet growing demand for data protection services in these regions and better serve local customers. This makes a total of 10 regions for the solution, and customers’ Office 365 backup data will be stored  locally within each region, a key requirement for customers operating in regulated industries or in countries with data protection laws.

In a recent study conducted by Barracuda, organizations disclosed that data protection is both a security and regulatory concern for them. A full 69% of respondents said they are concerned about storage of the data being backed up outside their geography (geo residency), and more than 7 in 10 respondents are concerned about compliance with data privacy requirements.
“At Barracuda, we continue to invest in our global infrastructure in order to help local organizations get access to protection against emerging threats,” said Chris Ross, SVP International, Barracuda. “As more organizations move to the cloud, they are looking to protect their data, while being able to handle and store data locally. Microsoft even advises customers to use a third-party backup and recovery provider, and with these new regions, we will be able to serve our customers while helping them comply with data regulations and policies.”
