Unified CrashPlan platform offers enterprise-ready data resiliency and protection for endpoints, servers, and Microsoft 365; with Google Workspace coming in Q2

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrashPlan today unveiled an enhanced, enterprise-ready platform that unifies their market leading cyber resilience and data protection products. Whether enterprises are seeking solutions for ransomware recovery, anomaly detection, device migration, legal hold, or disaster recovery, the CrashPlan platform is designed to meet increasingly complex data resiliency needs. This means not only protecting data wherever it lives, such as endpoints, servers, Microsoft 365, or Google Workspace – but also offering a plethora of storage choices while providing customers with capabilities to unlock value from their data.

Organizations can no longer afford to view backup and recovery as check-box IT functions. A resilient business must anticipate threats, protect critical assets, minimize downtime, and have the capability to recover instantly and at scale across the organization. Legacy backup models do not support these modern needs, and when downtime can cripple business operations and erode customer trust, resiliency is everything.

In response to these needs, the CrashPlan platform safeguards against accidental deletion, ransomware, and system failures, along with proactive threat detection and automated governance. As a preferred Microsoft vendor, CrashPlan complements the Microsoft Shared Responsibility Model by ensuring organizational data is backed up from Microsoft 365 beyond the standard 30–90-day retention period while offering user-friendly content search features.

Key Benefits of the CrashPlan Platform for Enterprise Users

Reduce Risk

  • Zero-trust approach offers rigorous security features, air-gapped containers, and customer-controlled encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Meet data governance and compliance requirements like HIPAA, GCC High, and GDPR
  • Legal hold and eDiscovery built in.

Increase Employee Productivity

  • Enables enterprises to efficiently use existing resources with bandwidth and storage configuration, deduplication, and compression.

Leadership

Since CrashPlan’s acquisition of Parablu in the fall of 2024, which expanded zero cost storage options featuring Microsoft OneDrive for CrashPlan customers, the company has also expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Dan Beer as CEO. Beer brings over 25 years of senior management experience in the global software industry, with expertise spanning M&A, strategy development, and operational execution. In this role, Beer will lead CrashPlan into a new era for the company as a platform for the enterprise, while still delivering expansive capabilities for small businesses and e-commerce.

“The CrashPlan platform is about more than just backup and recovery; it serves as the foundation of an integrated strategy for maintaining data security, availability, and compliance in the face of unforeseen business interruptions,” said Beer. “We are expanding our offerings to help enterprises derive ongoing strategic value from their data, with a mission to solve all data resiliency challenges. I am especially proud to be part of CrashPlan at a time when major partners like Microsoft are supporting our solutions in the market.”

CrashPlan will be on site at the Microsoft 365 Community Conference in Las Vegas on May 6-8, 2025. Visit the booth to see how CrashPlan provides a Microsoft Azure-Centric cyber-resilience solution for data protection and governance from a single SaaS platform.
