Keepit and Ingram Micro Launch Strategic Go-To-Market Relationship in France

As European organizations place growing emphasis on resilience, compliance, and cloud security, channel partnerships are becoming critical to scaling trusted solutions. In that context, Keepit has announced a strategic go to market relationship with Ingram Micro in France, aimed at expanding access to SaaS data protection across the country’s reseller and managed services ecosystem. The agreement reflects rising demand for independent, cloud native data protection as businesses rely more heavily on SaaS platforms for critical operations.

Keepit, which positions itself as the only independent, cloud native data protection and recovery provider, said the collaboration will strengthen its presence in the French market by leveraging Ingram Micro’s established local channel infrastructure. Through the partnership, French value added resellers, managed service providers, and managed security service providers will gain streamlined access to Keepit’s SaaS data protection platform via Ingram Micro France.

Under the agreement, Ingram Micro France will integrate Keepit’s cloud backup and recovery solution into its portfolio and support marketing, sales, distribution, and partner enablement activities. This includes providing local sales coverage and financing options tailored to French market requirements. The arrangement is designed to give partners greater flexibility to acquire, bundle, and deliver SaaS data protection services that meet customer needs around security, compliance, and operational continuity.

“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 agreement ensures that French organizations can protect their SaaS data via a vendor-agnostic, European cloud solution delivered through trusted local partners.”

For Ingram Micro, the partnership expands its Network and Security portfolio at a time when cyber resilience and data availability are top priorities for organizations across France. “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, Ingram Micro. “This collaboration empowers our French channel partners to better safeguard their customers’ critical business applications, enhance cyber resilience, and ensure long-term data protection readiness across the country.”

Keepit’s platform is designed to ensure customers maintain access to their data independently of the original SaaS application. Its architecture avoids middleware and enforces immutability, aligning with key French and European requirements around data sovereignty, compliance, and regulatory oversight. These capabilities are increasingly important as organizations seek assurance that business critical data remains protected even in the event of SaaS outages, cyber incidents, or vendor disruptions.

The agreement also strengthens the broader Keepit Partner Network, which supports resellers and service providers across EMEA, North America, and ANZ. For the MarTech and enterprise technology ecosystem, the partnership highlights how SaaS data protection is becoming a foundational layer of cloud strategy rather than a secondary add on.
