Keepit and Ingram Micro form strategic go-to-market relationship in the UK
KEEPIT has teamed with Ingram Micro 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. The agreement will also help strengthen Keepit’s position as a premium global provider of SaaS data protection solutions and services in the UK market.
The surge in SaaS application usage, coupled with the exponential increase in data creation, has ushered in an era where businesses are constantly at the mercy of cyberthreats and evolving data compliance regulations. In the 2024 report, The Hidden Cost of Downtime Splunk and Oxford Economics calculated that downtime costs Global 2000 companies $400B annually. That’s $200M per company per year, roughly 9% of profits. According to cybersecurity consulting firm NCC Group, 2024 saw the highest volume of ransomware attacks observed since 2021.
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. “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,” said Liz Barnhart, VP of global strategic alliances at Keepit. “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.” “The need for secure, scalable SaaS data protection is
more critical than ever,” said Jeffrey Drager, senior manager, networking and security, Ingram Micro. “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.”
