Keepit and Ingram Micro Launch Strategic Sales Agreement in Germany and Switzerland

Keepit A/S has entered into a strategic go-to-market agreement in Germany and Switzerland with Ingram Micro, a business-to-business (B2B) platform company for the global technology ecosystem.The aim of this cooperation is to further expand Keepit’s market presence in Germany and Switzerland and to intensify the joint go-to-market strategy in these markets. Thanks to the new agreement, value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) will gain access to Keepit’s SaaS data protection solutions – supported by Ingram Micro’s comprehensive channel know-how and platform expertise.

Ingram Micro will assist Keepit with marketing, sales and support of the Keepit portfolio and provide greater flexibility in purchasing and financing solutions that include Keepit’s SaaS data security services.

“As a leading B2B platform company, Ingram Micro is a key enabler of our channel strategy in the DACH region,” explains Cyril VanAgt, VP EMEA channel, Keepit. “This new relationship enables us to make our vendor-agnostic SaaS data protection solution even more widely available and provides resellers, MSPs and MSSPs with a scalable, high-margin offering for their customers.”

As a European provider, Keepit delivers its services entirely through European data centers. With its own datacenters in both Germany and Switzerland and complete independence from global hyperscalers, Keepit’s backup and recovery solution ensures that organizations retain access to their data at all times – even if the original SaaS system is unavailable or data on the public clouds is seized. This is a critical contribution to data resilience in the context of European digital sovereignty.

“We are pleased to welcome Keepit and its vendor-agnostic cloud platform for SaaS data security as an addition to our growing network and security portfolio and to offer it to our partners as a strategic extension,” said Britta Appel, head of category software, Ingram Micro Germany. “Managed cyber security is an area of growing complexity and we are committed to providing partners with modern, reliable, and secure cloud solutions that meet today’s data security and recovery requirements. Keepit takes a consistent approach to simplifying data protection and makes it easier for channel partners to reliably secure SaaS data.”
