I've been very favorably impressed with Crashplan (we've been evaluating it for backups of end user machines). I should note that Crashplan can be run as SaaS *or* you can purchase an appliance *or* you can purchase a license to run it on your own server. It's entirely conceivable do the offsite "private cloud" thing by running your own server or appliance at a colo site. From and enterprise perspective, I'm really impressed with their LDAP integration (so many vendors view "LDAP support" as another checkbox on the feature set), Crashplan's LDAP support really stands out for its flexibility.
