Under the agreement, Ingram Micro France will integrate Keepit’s cloud backup and recovery platform into the Ingram Micro portfolio and will support marketing, sales, distribution, and partner enablement. This arrangement will provide partners with flexibility in acquiring and bundling Keepit’s SaaS data protection offerings. French VARs, MSPs, and MSSPs will gain streamlined access to Keepit’s vendor-independent data protection services, backed by Ingram Micro’s local sales, financing, and channel support capabilities, including financing options tailored for local requirements.
“France is a strategic market for us, and teaming with Ingram Micro gives us the channel reach and operational support we need to accelerate adoption,” said Jan Ursi, VP of Global Channels at Keepit. “This agreement ensures that French organizations can protect their SaaS data via a vendor-agnostic, European cloud solution delivered through trusted local partners.”
“As French organizations increasingly seek secure and scalable SaaS data protection, our new alliance with Keepit brings a robust, cloud-native solution to Ingram Micro’s Network and Security portfolio,” said Robert Stockford, Director of Cyber Security, EMEA, Ingram Micro. “This collaboration empowers our French channel partners to better safeguard their customers’ critical business applications, enhance cyber resilience, and ensure long-term data protection readiness across the country.”
Keepit’s cloud backup and recovery platform is built to ensure that customers always retain access to their data—independent of the original SaaS environment. In France, data sovereignty, compliance, and resilience are key demands; Keepit’s architecture, which avoids middleware and enforces immutability, aligns strongly with those requirements.
