Keepit forms partnership with Hammer Distribution

Keepit teams up with Hammer Distribution to enhance data protection and recovery in the UK and Ireland, focusing on cloud resilience and data sovereignty.

Keepit, a cloud-native data protection provider, has announced a partnership with Hammer Distribution. The collaboration aims to expand Keepit’s offerings in the UK and Ireland, providing customers with solutions to secure their SaaS data through an independent recovery layer.

The partnership utilises local data centres to support compliance with UK regulations while enhancing cloud resilience and data sovereignty.

With growing demand for specialised SaaS data protection, data sovereignty has become a key consideration. Keepit’s independent, vendor-neutral cloud infrastructure, combined with local data centres, addresses this requirement. Its cloud backup and recovery platform currently supports fourteen SaaS applications, with plans for further expansion.

The platform allows customers to access their data independently of the original SaaS environment, supporting compliance and fast recovery in the UK market. The architecture is designed to provide a reliable, accessible data environment.

Through partnerships, Keepit provides resellers, MSPs, and distributors with cloud-native data protection services. This collaboration expands Keepit’s presence in the UK channel, supporting resellers and managed service providers that focus on cyber resilience.

Hammer Distribution has noted increasing demand for third-party SaaS backup solutions alongside existing cloud investments. The partnership contributes to Keepit’s role in providing recovery solutions for critical applications.

Overall, the alliance with Hammer Distribution strengthens Keepit’s presence in the UK market and its engagement with partners, aiming to support long-term relationships that benefit both partners and customers.
