Keepit, the global provider of SaaS data protection solutions and services, has formed a strategic go-to-market relationship with Ingram Micro, one of the world's largest IT distributors. This alliance is aimed at enhancing Keepit's position in the US market.

The new relationship aims to bolster Keepit's channel growth strategy, providing value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), and managed security service partners (MSSPs) with access to Keepit's vendor-independent cloud solution for data backup and recovery. The solutions will be accessible via the Ingram Micro Xvantage digital experience platform.

Ingram Micro will assist in marketing, selling, and supporting the Keepit portfolio. The partnership will also offer added flexibility in purchasing and financing options that include Keepit's SaaS data protection services.

It's great to see Keepit work to simplify data protection and make it easier for channel partners to secure SaaS data."
