In addition to its core backup functions, CrashPlan offers basic network and system monitoring features, which are essential for maintaining the health and performance of IT environments.

This combination of features has earned CrashPlan numerous awards and high ratings from industry experts and reviewers, including accolades from the popular tech site CNET.com.
The decision to pursue certification as a CrashPlan Certified Agent was driven by Carmichael Consulting’s commitment to providing its clients with the best possible IT solutions. “Code42 CrashPlan certification allows Carmichael Consulting to more effectively help our clients protect against IT equipment failure,” said Tyler Jones, owner of Carmichael Consulting. “CrashPlan provides us with a deeper backup solution that offers a wider safety net for our clients’ data.

Code42, the company behind CrashPlan, is an internationally recognized cloud-based solution provider headquartered in Minneapolis, MN. With a workforce of over 400 employees, Code42 has been a significant player in the tech industry since its inception in 2001. The company is best known for its CrashPlan system, which has become a go-to solution for businesses looking for reliable and secure data protection. Code42’s commitment to innovation and excellence is evident in the design and functionality of CrashPlan, which continues to set the standard for cloud-based backup solutions.
The importance of reliable data backup cannot be overstated, especially in today’s digital age where businesses are increasingly reliant on technology to drive their operations. Data loss, whether due to hardware failure, cyberattacks, or natural disasters, can have devastating consequences for businesses. It can lead to significant financial losses, damage to a company’s reputation, and even legal liabilities if sensitive customer information is compromised. For small and medium-sized businesses, the impact of data loss can be particularly severe, as they often lack the resources to recover quickly from such incidents.
This is where solutions like CrashPlan come into play. By providing continuous, automated backups, CrashPlan ensures that businesses always have a recent copy of their data available, minimizing the risk of data loss. In addition, CrashPlan’s offsite storage capabilities mean that even if a business’s physical premises are compromised, their data remains safe and accessible. This level of protection is crucial for businesses that need to comply with data protection regulations, such as those in the healthcare and financial sectors, where the loss of sensitive information can have serious legal consequences.
The certification of Carmichael Consulting as a CrashPlan Certified Agent represents a significant step forward in the company’s mission to provide comprehensive IT services that meet the evolving needs of its clients. As a CrashPlan Certified Agent, Carmichael Consulting is now equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and manage CrashPlan deployments effectively. This includes configuring CrashPlan to meet the specific needs of each client, monitoring the health and performance of the backup system, and providing ongoing support to ensure that the system continues to operate smoothly.
In addition to its core backup and recovery features, CrashPlan also offers a number of advanced capabilities that make it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes. For example, CrashPlan includes features such as versioning, which allows businesses to retain multiple versions of their files. This is particularly useful in cases where files are accidentally deleted or overwritten, as it allows users to restore an earlier version of the file. CrashPlan also offers flexible storage options, allowing businesses to choose between storing their backups in the cloud, on-premises, or a combination of both.
Another key feature of CrashPlan is its scalability. As businesses grow and their data storage needs increase, CrashPlan can easily scale to accommodate additional storage requirements. This makes it an ideal solution for businesses that are expanding or experiencing rapid growth, as they can continue to rely on CrashPlan to protect their data without having to invest in additional hardware or infrastructure. The scalability of CrashPlan also makes it a cost-effective solution, as businesses only pay for the storage they use, and can easily adjust their storage needs as their business evolves.
