CrashPlan Pro for Business

CrashPlan PROe works quietly in the background on all laptops and desktops, so while CrashPlan does its work, you can do yours. Most users never even notice it’s there. But when they need a file restored, they’re happy to know that the easy-to-use interface allows them to restore files quickly on their own.

Supporting the major operating systems for Mac, Windows and Linux, CrashPlan PROe lets users back up and restore to and from any machine. With just one product to buy, support and maintain, IT can offer greater backup coverage without doubling-up on software overhead.

Going beyond all the traditional security measures you’d expect (like 448-bit encryption), CrashPlan PROe also enables integration with your company’s Active Directory to support LDAP integration and SSL.

Time Capsule. Automatic wireless backup for your Mac. Now available in 2TB and 3TB models.1

1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.

Time Capsule is a revolutionary backup appliance that can automatically back up everything on your Mac—wirelessly. It works with Time Machine in Mac OS X to give you constant, behind-the-scenes protection. Time Capsule is also a full-featured 802.11n Wi-Fi base station with simultaneous dual-band support. It lets you easily share your broadband Internet connection, printer, hard drive, and more. You can even set up a separate Wi-Fi network for your guests.

Key Features:

Automatic wireless backup. Perfect with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard or later. Set it, then forget it. All the computers on your network can back up to Time Capsule. And new technologies in Time Capsule and refinements to Time Machine make backing up using Snow Leopard up to 60 percent faster than before.¹

Massive storage space. Choose from 2TB and 3TB models.

Full-featured Wi-Fi base station. Set up a high-speed 802.11n Wi-Fi network with simultaneous dual-band support that offers up to five times the speed and twice the range of 802.11g.²

Guest networking. Create a separate Wi-Fi network for your guests so that you don’t have to give them the password to your primary Wi-Fi network.

USB port for shared printing and additional storage. Connect a printer or an external hard drive.

1 Testing conducted by Apple in October 2009 comparing preproduction Time Capsule (Late 2009) with shipping Time Capsule (Early 2009) units. Testing was conducted on preproduction 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo–based iMac (Late 2009) systems. Performance will vary based on system configuration, network, file sizes, data sets, wireless interference, and other factors. Performance tests are conducted using specific systems and reflect the approximate performance of Time Capsule.
2 Based on a comparison with Apple’s 802.11g products. Comparison assumes AirPort Extreme network with 802.11n-enabled computer. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme–enabled computer or other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a/b/g/n-enabled computer. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.
