Protect every computer in the enterprise with CrashPlan PRO


Johannesburg, 06 Apr 2010

“One of the challenges that IT professionals face today is ensuring that data backups are current, retrievable, and most of all secure. This is a major task as today's company has notebooks, desktops, mobile workforces, etc, and not all of these devices are available on the network at the times when traditional backups are scheduled,” says Jorina van Rensburg, CEO of Condyn.

“Now, with CrashPlan PRO, it does not matter if people are at different locations or unable to connect to the network as a complete backup can be performed from anywhere at any time with only an Internet connection.”

“Condyn has been identified by Code 42 International as the partner for CrashPlan PRO for the African market. We are very excited to work with a dynamic partner like Condyn as they specialise in information security and understand the importance of backup strategies,” says Dustin Leingang, International Sales Manager, Code 42 International.

IT professionals can now easily manage backup for 10 or 10 000 computers regardless of location with a single solution, reducing cost and complexity. Mission-critical data in the enterprise is not being backed up. Increasing number of employees using laptops combined with out-dated file server-based backup strategies put companies at risk for data loss.

Traditional backup solutions offer piecemeal strategies for large, multi-platform environments that provide inadequate protection while costing more to maintain.

IT support staff are often required to provide manual backup and data restoration tasks on top of their already full workload.

Enterprise backup solutions must meet the challenges of today's diverse, globally distributed workplace that needs continuous, reliable protection while lowering IT support costs.

Protect executive and mobile workforce laptops 24/7

Laptop data loss is a serious problem facing companies of all sizes. Executive and mobile workforce laptops often contain extremely valuable information that requires continuous backup protection.

Backing up laptops are challenging as they operate in a wide variety of network conditions and many times via the Internet from remote sites.

CrashPlan PRO meets these challenges with continuous backups that operate quietly in the background, allowing users to work without interruption. File changes are backed up in real-time, ensuring backup data is always up-to-date. CrashPlan PRO also works securely over the Internet, providing backup for laptops and remote desktops regardless of location by adding a rule on the firewall allowing secure remote access.

Reduce multi-platform support cost and complexity

IT now needs to support multiple platform environments that include Macs, Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Virtual Machines. Every machine has data that, if lost, will result in lost productivity and therefore requires backup.

CrashPlan PRO runs equally well on Macs, Windows, Solaris, Linux, and virtual machines; consolidating multi-platform backup into a single, unified software solution. Support costs go down, user satisfaction levels go up, and the company gets complete backup protection on all its platforms.

Ensure disaster recovery protection

Complete backup protection includes redundant onsite and offsite backup destinations to protect against fire, theft and natural disaster scenarios.

Designed with multiple backup destination support, CrashPlan PRO provides easy management and deployment of onsite and offsite backup. A computer protected with CrashPlan PRO can now have redundant backup to multiple destinations that you control.

Decrease IT workload with end-user file restoration

Moving support functions like data restoration to the end-user results in more efficient use of IT resources

Centrally manage company backup policies

Backup policies ensure the right level of protection across the whole company, while controlling data storage costs. A company may require varying levels of required backup protection for different departments or individual computers.

CrashPlan Pro provides centralised backup policy management in an easy-to-use Web-based administration console. Group and individual computer settings control when and how backups are run, which files are backed up, how much storage is allocated, and much more. Centralised backup policy management allows changes to be implemented quickly and in a flexible manner.

Scale with company growth

An enterprise backup solution must meet a company's need for data growth. CrashPlan Pro's capacity growth feature includes:

* Dynamic storage via NAS mount points.
* Handles 10 - 10 000 computers on a single server.
* Master/slave configurations support any number of additional servers over LAN or WAN.

How secure and reliable is CrashPlan?

Your files are encrypted before they leave your computer and are being transmitted to the server.

Your files are never transmitted or stored unencrypted. Using a private data key, it is impossible for a third party to decrypt your files.

The storage server software verifies that all backup data is always readable, 24x7x365.
