BarracudaDrive is designed to run high volume sites. BarracudaDrive is a blazing fast web server supporting nearly an unlimited number of concurrent asynchronous I/O operations. Its event driven architecture is optimized for a large number of parallel connections (keep-alive) which are important for high performance of its integrated WEB 2.0 and AJAX application support.
BarracudaDrive is built as an application by using the Barracuda Embedded Web Server SDK. Thus, BarracudaDrive consumes a small memory footprint compared to other web servers.
The name BarracudaDrive was chosen since the first BarracudaDrive Web Server release was designed to be an efficient and secure remote file server -- that is, it acts like an additional drive on your computer. BarracudaDrive continues to support remote file server operations by providing an integrated WebDAV server and web-file-manager, in addition to many other advanced plugins.
BarracudaDrive can run on a more energy efficient computer such as an old laptop while still providing plenty of speed. Start using BarracudaDrive and reduce the amount of greenhouse gas CO2 emissions as a result of your reduced PC power consumption.
