Server Only Deployment ConfigurationWhen using only the IM server of the Barracuda IM Firewall, the product may be installed anywhere on the network. Typically the server will be placed in a DMZ for access by remote users and any other Barracuda IM Firewalls with which secure communication is desired. For this type of deployment, it is recommended that the public IM networks are blocked either by the corporate firewall or by the Barracuda Web Filter.
Standard Deployment Configuration The Standard deployment configuration consists of simply placing the Barracuda IM Firewall on your network between your Internet Firewall and your LAN, and assigning an IP address for access and configuration via the Barracuda Web-based administration interface.

Before the Barracuda IM Firewall, our previous IM server was very difficult to maintain and a nightmare when it came to reliability. As our company continues to grow we seem to have a growing remote workforce that is on the road, and the Barracuda IM Firewall makes it easier for them to communicate with each other instead of using a phone or email. Also, our sales and marketing people love using the Barracuda IM Client to connect to their AIM and Yahoo accounts, giving them another way to communicate with customers.
