Barracuda Networks obviously wasn’t paying attention to the mobile phone industry when it announced the doubling of cloud storage space to its customers. You see, the wireless industry has trained us to expect when changes are made to service plans, it’s often because they’re taking something away, like unlimited data. Barracuda, however, just doubled up the amount of storage space its cloud customers have access to, and did so without raising prices.

“Data usage is increasing quickly while IT budgets are falling under considerable pressure,” said Guy Suter, general manager of the Barracuda Backup Service. “Barracuda Networks is once again raising the bar on storage requirements and deliverables. We make the choice simple for customers transitioning from old tapes to modern backup technology by doubling the cloud storage available for the same low cost.”

Barracuda’s $50/month plan now includes 200GB of online storage, up from 100GB. That breaks down to $0.25/GB per month, plus unlimited backup and restore bandwidth. The new price applies to both new and existing service customers, so there’s no need for businesses to wait for a contract renewal.

We say “businesses” because Barracuda’s service isn’t really targeted at home consumers. There’s a one-time hardware purchase that will set customers back at least $1,000 — ooph!
