  Code 42 Software has introduced CrashPlan PRO, a new backup software 
  and service targeted at the SMB market (that’s “small and 
  medium-sized businesses” for the less acronymically experienced). 
  Joining CrashPlan+, designed for individual users backing up 
  personal data from 10 or fewer computers, and CrashPlan PROe, 
  designed for large enterprises with many hundreds or even thousands 
  of computers, CrashPlan PRO is designed for businesses and other 
  organizations running up to 200 computers. (For details about 
  CrashPlan+, see “CrashPlan+ 3.0 Adds Features, Changes Pricing,” 
  7 December 2010.)

  Like its sibling backup offerings, CrashPlan PRO provides a 
  cross-platform (Mac/Windows/Linux/Solaris) subscription backup 
  solution that can make both local and online backups. And, like 
  CrashPlan+, CrashPlan PRO provides secure, encrypted backups to 
  cloud-based servers and offers individual users restore capabilities 
  from almost any location that has Internet access. However, unlike 
  CrashPlan+, CrashPlan PRO enables administrators with relatively 
  little IT experience to assign users and computers to a backup plan, 
  monitor backup progress and statistics, and use a Web-based 
  dashboard to manage an organization’s backups.

  The cost of CrashPlan PRO varies depending on the number of 
  computers being backed up and the amount of backup storage 
  allocated. Businesses can choose between a plan that offers 
  unlimited backups for a specific number of computers, or plans that 
  share a specific backup storage allocation among an unlimited number 
  of computers. To help customers figure out the best deal for their 
  needs, CrashPlan offers a simple online tool that helps potential 
  customers figure out the best available plans for a given business 
  installation.

  CrashPlan PRO is available in the United States and Canada now, with 
  worldwide availability expected by the end of this year. A 30-day 
  free trial is also available.
