Online Backup KeepItSafe Adds Channel Partner Program

KeepItSafe, an online backup
provider and branded service of j2 Global,
Inc., has launched a service and support channel partner program in the
U.S.

The new service provides resellers and VARs with monitored and managed online
backup services, wholesale pricing rates, re-brandable marketing and sales
materials, 24/7 sales and tech support, and email marketing and sales coaching.
One of the few online backup and DR companies in the world with ISO 27001
certification.

The launch of the KeepItSafe channel partner program in the U.S. paves
the way for service providers new to selling backup services to establish a
relationship with a managed and monitored online backup service with ISO27001,
SSAE 16 and SOC 2 data certification. KeepItSafe also offers migration programs
for online backup partners who may not be happy with their current provider and
want to transition to a monitored and managed online backup solution.

"The launch of our
channel partner program in the U.S. reinforces the fact that the KeepItSafe
online backup service is fully equipped and ready to bring a superior level of
service to both VARs and resellers of online backup services," said
Jonathan Crowe, technical director of KeepItSafe. "By offering comprehensive sales, marketing and technical support, in
addition to a fully managed and monitored backup solution, the KeepItSafe
Channel Partner program goes beyond what most VARs and resellers receive from
other backup services providers. KeepItSafe channel partners can realize higher
margins with less effort, while their customers gain more secure and reliable
backup of critical data."

Many backup providers offer services that require internal
management, which can lead to confusion as to who is responsible for managing
and monitoring the backup process. KeepItSafe differs from these backup
providers by installing, monitoring, and managing the service for customers,
helping eliminate the confusion that can come from co-managed services. And,
while many companies are moving to hybrid backup systems – one for backing up
physical servers, and one for virtual backup services – KeepItSafe supports
both in a single offering.

KeepItSafe is backed by the financial and IT resources of j2 Global,
a $1.45-billion market cap publicly traded company and provider of cloud
services for business. Founded in 1995, j2 Global has been recognized in 2012
with numerous awards, including recent listing on the InformationWeek 500 list, an annual ranking of the most innovative companies
employing IT in their businesses.
