It’s a milestone day for CrashPlan!
We officially acquired Parablu, a leading provider of data security and resiliency solutions known for its market-leading offerings protecting Microsoft 365 (M365) data. By acquiring Parablu, our ability to deliver comprehensive backup and recovery solutions for servers, endpoint devices, and SaaS applications is significantly bolstered. With similar visions and complementary product suites, our combined competencies will be able to accelerate CrashPlan’s growth.
All businesses have sensitive intellectual property (IP) to protect. Separately, CrashPlan and Parablu were each focused on protecting customers’ ideas and innovations. As a unified force, we will have the ability to better develop new products, and to enter new markets by bringing all of our innovation, process, and talented team members together. The integration of CrashPlan’s endpoint backup technology, operational discipline, and incredible customer base with Parablu’s technology and relationship with Microsoft will allow Crashplan to provide enterprise class protection for the IP that today’s idea workers – architects, attorneys, communicators, data scientists, designers, engineers, programmer/developers, researchers and video production professionals — create, wherever they create it. Whether you are an entrepreneur, working for small business or large global enterprises, CrashPlan’s mission is to protect the core value of your work – your ideas.
The Future of CrashPlan
CrashPlan has been strategically working to become the trusted provider of data resilience and governance across all workloads in a single platform. Simultaneously, Parablu has been working towards becoming a key player in the SaaS backup and recovery market, while also offering server and endpoint backup. Parablu’s backup and ransomware defense products are key pieces of that strategy, as are CrashPlan’s proprietary cloud and endpoint backup advances.
With this acquisition, CrashPlan will offer enhanced capabilities to safeguard critical data against threats like accidental data deletion, ransomware, and service disruptions. And, with Parablu’s patented integration with Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive, businesses will be able to leverage existing storage infrastructure for secure backups.
The future is bright and exciting! We have brought together teams and technologies that will deliver an expanded set of solutions to help businesses of all sizes protect their most critical assets.
