Keepit & Ingram Micro form alliance to boost market presence

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.

Craig Bumpus, Chief Revenue Officer at Keepit, commented on the partnership saying, "This relationship with Ingram Micro is yet another example of Keepit elevating its partner engagement commitment to the next level. As the importance of data security continues to rise, this agreement will provide Keepit with a new platform to further expand our footprint in the US market."

Ingram Micro also sees value in the alliance. Jeffrey Drager, Senior Business Leader, Networking and Security at Ingram Micro, said, "Managed cybersecurity is an area of growing complexity. It's great to see Keepit work to simplify data protection and make it easier for channel partners to secure SaaS data."

Keepit launched its Partner Network in January 2024, demonstrating its commitment to empowering resellers, MSPs, and distributors. The network is available in North America and EMEA. This latest development underscored Keepit's commitment to its partner-only strategy and its continued efforts to broaden its reach and offerings.
