123 MANU FAC TUR I NG & R E SOUR C E S capability to move network infrastructure, routing, security, and remote access into the public cloud of their choice. Running as a native service in Azure with onsite devices providing all security and SD-WAN functions to the public cloud, the solution was able to match the dynamic requirements created by the growth that Hagedorn was pursuing. CloudGen WAN allowed Hagedorn to meet its complex requirements for security and SD-WAN at every location within its growing group of companies. “Barracuda CloudGen WAN was the only cloud-native FWaaS that provided all the enterprise security levels we needed, as well as including SD-WAN services for uninterrupted connectivity and reliable application access to Azure,” says Hans Redlich, IT lead for Hagedorn Group. Whenever a new subsidiary needs to be integrated, a CloudGen WAN site device can be quickly deployed. Via the cloud portal, zerotouch deployment pushes all settings to the appliances, allowing the site to get up and running without the need for on-site IT personnel to configure the device and making roll-out of the service faster and less expensive for widely distributed organisations. On top of this, remote users can access company resources securely using the Personal Access with CloudGen WAN service, which provides an encrypted VPN tunnel directly from work-at-home environments or while travelling. With CloudGen WAN site devices deployed at every location, full next-generation firewall security and immediate availability of all cloud-hosted applications at high performance levels is now guaranteed for Hagedorn Group. The included SD-WAN functions define a new standard for supporting future business growth. Uninterrupted connectivity to Microsoft Azure allows all devices to send their logs in real time to Azure Log Analytics and Microsoft Sentinel as the central security information and event management system for an additional level of visibility and proactive security across the whole network. “Barracuda CloudGen WAN enabled us to implement a central IT management system to integrate newly acquired subsidiaries quickly and efficiently with zero-touch deployment of CloudGen WAN site devices,” says Redlich.
