Dropsuite Pte Ltd, a provider of cloud backup solutions for SMBs, has partnered Ingram Micro Inc.

The deal brings Dropsuite’s cloud backup solutions to more businesses via Ingram Micro’s network of resellers, telecommunications companies, carriers, hosting companies, MSPs, system integrators, and other IT suppliers.

As part of the partnership, Dropsuite’s website and database backup product, Dropmysite, is available on the Ingram Micro cloud marketplace.

Through Ingram Micro, Dropmysite will be offered alongside services including Microsoft Office 365, Dropbox, Cisco WebEx, and RingCentral, among others. With its focus on BC, cloud backup, and DR, Dropmysite complements existing cloud solutions available on the Ingram Micro cloud marketplace.

The partnership with Ingram Micro comes weeks after Dropsuite’s re-branding in March, which sets the stage for a vision, business strategy, ambition, and its public listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
