To address the growing demand for secure, sovereign SaaS data protection in the French market, Keepit has established a strategic go-to-market partnership with Ingram Micro. This collaboration aims to deliver Keepit's vendor-independent cloud backup and recovery platform to French businesses through Ingram Micro's extensive local channel network of resellers and service providers.
Keepit forms a strategic go-to-market partnership with Ingram Micro to distribute its SaaS data protection platform in France.
The alliance targets French VARs, MSPs, and MSSPs, providing them streamlined access to Keepit's solutions via Ingram Micro's local infrastructure.
Keepit's platform is positioned to meet key local demands: data sovereignty, compliance (like GDPR), and cyber resilience.
The platform is vendor-agnostic and cloud-native, ensuring data access independent of the original SaaS application (e.g., Microsoft 365, Salesforce).
Ingram Micro France will support marketing, sales, distribution, and partner enablement, including tailored financing options.
The partnership strengthens Keepit's EMEA channel reach, building on its existing partner network across Europe, North America, and ANZ.
France represents a strategic and growing market for SaaS data protection, driven by stringent data sovereignty regulations and increasing cyber threats. Keepit's partnership with Ingram Micro, a global leader in technology distribution, provides the critical channel infrastructure and local expertise needed to accelerate market adoption. By integrating Keepit's platform into Ingram Micro's Network and Security portfolio, the alliance empowers a broad network of French solution providers to meet customer demand for robust, compliant data resilience.
“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 move allows Keepit to leverage Ingram Micro's established relationships with thousands of resellers and managed service providers, ensuring its solutions are accessible through trusted local partners.
A core driver for this partnership is the specific requirements of the French and European market. Regulations emphasize data sovereignty, requiring that certain data remains within jurisdictional borders. Keepit's architecture is designed to align with these demands, operating a vendor-independent cloud with data centers in Europe. Its platform enforces data immutability to protect against ransomware and ensures businesses retain independent access to their backup data, separate from the primary SaaS vendor.
This focus on security and compliance resonates with Ingram Micro's channel strategy. “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, at Ingram Micro. He added that the collaboration helps partners “safeguard their customers’ critical business applications, enhance cyber resilience, and ensure long-term data protection readiness.”
The partnership is structured to make it easier for channel partners to adopt and sell Keepit's platform. Ingram Micro France will handle marketing, sales distribution, and partner enablement, providing local support and financing options tailored to the French market. This reduces complexity for VARs, MSPs, and MSSPs, allowing them to bundle Keepit's data protection services into their offerings seamlessly.
For end customers, the benefit is access to a straightforward, secure backup solution for essential SaaS applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace, delivered through a familiar local provider. The partnership underscores a shared commitment to addressing the critical need for data protection that is both powerful and compliant with regional standards, strengthening the overall security posture of French businesses.
