Keepit Signs Strategic Agreement with Hammer Distribution

Enhancing cloud resilience and data sovereignty
“Across the board, we’re seeing a huge increase in demand for specialized SaaS data protection. With data sovereignty becoming a core principle for our partners and customers, Keepit’s local data centers and vendor-independent cloud are the perfect answer to the growing need for cloud resilience,” said Alex Walsh, regional VP, EMEA North, Keepit.

Keepit’s cloud backup and recovery platform currently secures fourteen SaaS applications – and the company has committed to continue adding critical applications to its portfolio. With per-seat pricing, Keepit’s solution offers budgeting predictability for both customers and partners.

The platform is built to ensure that customers always retain access to their data, accessible regardless of the status of the original SaaS environment. In the UK, vendor independence, compliance, and fast recovery are key demands; Keepit’s immutable architecture aligns strongly with these requirements.

“By teaming up with expert distributors such as Hammer Distribution, we’re able to offer high-quality, localized support and scale our presence rapidly across the UK channel,” adds Alex Walsh.

Strengthening the UK partner ecosystem
The Keepit Partner Network empowers resellers, MSPs, and distributors to offer secure, cloud-native data protection. In the UK, the focus is on expanding deep relationships with value-added resellers and managed service providers who prioritize cyber resilience.

“Keepit is aiming to be the most partner-friendly organization in the world. We’re excited to add Hammer Distribution to our network to further support our UK partners. We’re focused on building long-lasting relationships to benefit our partners and ultimately our customers,” said Jan Ursi, global VP, channels, Keepit.

“We chose to partner with Keepit as we see an increase in demand for third-party SaaS backup that complements existing cloud investments. Keepit delivers best-in-class recovery for crucial applications and is a natural, high-value addition to our cybersecurity and data portfolio,” said Dominic Ryles, director, cloud and cybersecurity, Hammer Distribution.
