Keepit and Ingram Micro’s new UK alliance is set to enable customers to safeguard essential business applications utilising the IT channel through broader access to Keepit’s SaaS data protection services.

The partnership will enable the global technology ecosystem to expand access to Keepit’s vendor-independent cloud solution for data backup and recovery for value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service partners (MSSPs) in the UK.

Keepit and Ingram Micro’s position in the UK market

Keepit’s agreement with Ingram Micro will also strengthen its position in the UK market as a global provider of SaaS data protection solutions and services.

A recent surge in SaaS application usage – coupled with the exponential increase in data creation – has increased cyber-threats and a shift in data compliance regulations.

Enhancing flexibility

Ingram Micro will assist in marketing, selling and supporting the Keepit portfolio while enhancing flexibility in purchasing and financing solutions that incorporate Keepit’s SaaS data protection services.

Liz Barnhart, VP, Keepit commented: “Our relationship with Ingram Micro will help expand our UK footprint, elevate Keepit’s partner engagement commitment and help take our channel business to the next level.

“As the importance of data security continues to rise, this agreement will provide channel partners with a new and effective way to procure our technology and better support their business growth.”

“Boost their cyber-resilience”

“The need for secure, scalable SaaS data protection is more critical than ever,” said Jeffrey Drager, Senior Manager, Ingram Micro. 

Drager said: “Expanding our Network and Security portfolio with Keepit’s cloud-native data protection solution will enable our shared channel partners to help their customers safeguard essential business applications, boost their cyber-resilience and future-proof their data protection.”
