Barracuda misses Q2 results target Cloud security and storage supplier Barracuda recorded growing revenues in its latest quarter, but fell short of expectations and made a loss because of poor sales in Europe and large deal push-outs.

I was on a cross country flight a couple of weeks ago and Barracuda was advertising on the in flight TV/media systems. Seemed like a *really* strange place for such a company to advertise. Similarly several months ago while in a Taxi on the way to the airport I heard an ad on the radio for Dell Compellent storage, another reeeeeally strange place to advertise that kind of product.
Couple of years ago we purchased several of their systems, based upon the promise of some forthcoming features and enhancements which never materialised, actually they did, but it was rebranded and sold as an entirely new product.
They have very little inclination to provide better features and service for existing customers, even after charging extortionate annual support/warranty prices.
