Ingram Micro and Keepit announced a strategic go‑to‑market partnership in France, integrating Keepit’s cloud‑native data‑protection platform into Ingram Micro France’s product lineup and channel ecosystem.
The alliance gives French VARs, MSPs, and MSSPs streamlined access to Keepit’s vendor‑independent backup and recovery services, backed by Ingram Micro’s local sales, financing, and partner‑enablement support.
The deal is driven by tightening data sovereignty and compliance rules in France, such as the EU Data Act and the French SREN law, which require data to be stored and processed within the EU. Keepit’s European‑based data centers and compliance‑focused architecture make it an attractive solution for French organizations seeking secure SaaS data protection.
Ingram Micro’s broader cybersecurity strategy focuses on expanding its cloud and security portfolio through partnerships and acquisitions. The Keepit partnership aligns with the company’s Xvantage platform, which unifies partner experience and accelerates go‑to‑market for new solutions. The alliance follows similar agreements in the UK, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and Poland, demonstrating a repeatable model.
Management emphasized the strategic fit. Jan Ursi, VP of Global Channels at Keepit, said the partnership gives French organizations a vendor‑agnostic, European cloud solution delivered through trusted local partners. Robert Stockford, Director of Cyber Security, EMEA at Ingram Micro, highlighted that the alliance empowers French channel partners to safeguard critical business applications and enhance cyber resilience.
The partnership is expected to create a new revenue stream for Ingram Micro’s channel partners and strengthen its competitive position in the European cloud‑security market. By adding Keepit’s capabilities, Ingram Micro can offer a comprehensive data‑protection solution that meets the growing demand for secure SaaS data protection in France.
The alliance positions Ingram Micro to capture a share of the growing French data‑protection market, which is expanding as companies adopt cloud services and face stricter regulations. The partnership signals Ingram Micro’s commitment to meeting regulatory demands and differentiating itself from competitors that rely on non‑EU data centers.
