The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to create an Edge Service. The Edge Service can be created in five distinct bandwidth ranges: 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 500 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps. The Barracuda Edge Service is a subscription-based service, hosted and managed by Barracuda Networks. When activating a new subscription, you will be provided with the option to create an Edge Service. After deployment, you can resize and update the SaaS Edge Service as per your requirements.
