The rollout will continue over the next year: IS&T has already been using CrashPlan in some of its areas, including Operations & Infrastructure and Customer Support. This is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate chargebacks and enhance services. TSM Enterprise will also be offered free of charge. The icing on the cake: MIT is offering CrashPlan at no charge to members of the community. Information Systems & Technology will continue to use it to back up its own servers and recommends it for those on campus with particularly large data sets. TSM Enterprise is still the solution of choice for servers.

The favorite in an MIT pilot that tested four backup services, CrashPlan has also been chosen by a number of MIT’s peer institutions that previously used TSM. And this may be just the answer you’re looking for when your desktop crashes or your laptop goes missing.ĬrashPlan is MIT’s new cloud-based backup solution for desktops and laptops, replacing IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM, Basic and Standard). It's been said that 42 is the " Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything." Code42 makes no such claims, but it does make CrashPlan.
