Challenge	CBCX faced the challenge of connecting a new line of betting terminals across Europe.

Hardware-based VPN solutions were found to be more expensive to roll out and maintain compared to a centrally-managed client.

Solution	CBCX implemented the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall to connect its new line of betting terminals. The solution included unlimited VPN clients that could connect to the data center, providing flexibility based on customer specifications.
