Parablu Inc. (Now CrashPlan)

Parablu Inc., now part of CrashPlan, specialized in secure data backup and resilience solutions, particularly for Microsoft 365 environments. Founded around 2014, the company was established by executives with experience from firms like Druva and Commvault. Its acquisition by CrashPlan in October 2024 enhances CrashPlan’s capabilities in cyber-ready data protection, integrating endpoint, server, and SaaS application backup solutions. Parablu offered services such as M365 data protection, which secured Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data against threats like accidental deletion and ransomware. The company also supported hybrid environments, allowing backups to Azure, private clouds, or CrashPlan’s proprietary cloud. With a focus on intellectual property protection, Parablu emphasized compliance with SaaS platform backup requirements, targeting IP-intensive businesses that rely on cloud collaboration tools. Following the acquisition, CrashPlan leverages Parablu’s technology to expand its global reach and enhance its offerings in comprehensive SaaS data protection.
