CrashPlan Partners With Wasabi Technologies to Strengthen Enterprise Data Resilience

CrashPlan, provider in cyber-ready data resilience and governance, announced a strategic partnership with Wasabi Technologies, Inc., the hot cloud storage company, to deliver resilient data protection and low total cost of ownership for enterprises. With hybrid and remote work here to stay, critical business data now lives everywhere, from laptops to cloud apps and collaboration tools. This decentralization renders traditional backup strategies insufficient, often leaving organizations scrambling when disruptions occur. An Oxford Economics report estimates that downtime costs enterprises an average of $9,000/minute, or $540,000/hour. Ensuring rapid recovery isn’t just about resilience for IT leaders; it’s also about protecting the bottom line as business executives.

To address this challenge, CrashPlan has paired its enterprise-grade cyber resilience and data protection platform with Wasabi’s affordable, high-performance cloud object storage. Together, this partnership eliminates the costly egress and API fees charged by hyperscalers by offering a flat-rate, predictable pricing model, enabling CrashPlan customers to store more data for longer at a fraction of the cost.

This partnership empowers IT leaders to create a scalable, cyber-resilient data protection strategy that covers Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, endpoint devices, and file servers. Wasabi’s cloud-first backup architecture, purpose-built for today’s data-driven businesses, includes:

• Up to 80% lower storage costs compared to others 
• Fast, reliable recovery to ensure uninterrupted productivity
• Simple, predictable pricing with no hidden fees
• Built-in, future-proof security and compliance controls 

“Every day we talk to customers who are juggling the realities of hybrid work, growing data, and tighter budgets. Their biggest worry isn’t just the cost of storing data, it’s knowing they can get it back easily and quickly when it matters most,” said Randy De Meno, VP, business development and Microsoft practice, CrashPlan. “This partnership with Wasabi is a fantastic market fit for our mutual customers and partners – we’re making it simple and affordable for organizations to protect the data that keeps their business running.“

“In today’s environment, data protection must be both effective and economical,” said Laurie Mitchell, SVP, global alliances and partnership marketing, Wasabi Technologies. “Our partnership with CrashPlan helps organizations lower cost and complexity, while giving leaders peace of mind that critical data is always protected, recoverable, and accessible — all with predictable costs so they can confidently stay within budget.”
