Keepit Partner Network: Growing partnerships to the next level
Leading the way with vendor-independent data protection
When I started in Keepit in July 2023, I knew that I was joining a very special company. Not only does the company have a great product, but it also has a great partner ecosystem and the two are key to having an impact on the market.
At the heart of data protection specialist Keepit’s success lies indeed a resilient and purpose-built cloud infrastructure — and also many long-lasting partner relationships.
The company's platform, exclusively owned and operated independently from other cloud vendors, signifies a revolutionary shift in data protection strategies. Serving as the ultimate safeguard against potential data loss resulting from security incidents or unforeseen events, Keepit ensures that its partners empower clients to maintain control over their critical SaaS data.
And it’s not just a few workloads that we cover: Keepit’s unique easy-to-use platform ensures business-critical SaaS data from multiple SaaS applications, like Microsoft 365, Entra ID (Azure AD), Salesforce (and others) is kept immutable, accessible, and compliant with even the strictest of requirements.

Keepit’s impressive scaling secures $40 million from HSBC Innovation Banking
On Jan. 9, 2024, Keepit announced that HSBC Innovation Banking has provided Keepit with a $40 million refinancing package together with The Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (IEFO). The fresh capital is earmarked to sustain the impressive growth trajectory and substantial expansion strategy of Keepit.
Keepit CEO and co-founder, Morten Felsvang, shares that the funding “is an infusion of confidence in our capabilities on all levels. And it means that we can continue our growth strategy at full throttle.”
Partners prove invaluable to Keepit’s growth and success
The Keepit Partner Network (KPN) highlights the company's dedication to its channel ecosystem. Tailored for resellers, managed service providers, and distributors, this program elevates partner engagement with its tiered structure, ensuring customized support for diverse partner needs.
KPN is designed to propel partners toward unparalleled success within data protection together with Keepit. The recognition of Keepit with its addition as a scaler in the Canalys "Global Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery Leadership Matrix 2023" report underscores the program's rapid growth and our outstanding performance.
And in support of that commitment to growth, we’re setting our sights on crossing over into the coveted Canalys "Champions" category on our impressive journey by adopting a partner-only model.
Keepit's Partner Network emerges not just as a program but as a strategic cooperation for the future. Partners get the chance to be a hero for customers by offering them award-winning, next-level SaaS data protection that’s transparent in cost and incredibly easy to set up, onboard, and use.
Partnering with Keepit means always being at the forefront of cloud SaaS data protection.

Unlocking the next level with Keepit and partners
Keepit is committed to taking the industry to new heights, and through our Partner Network, we’re doing exactly that. Whether you’re a Value-added Reseller (VAR), a Managed Service Provider (MSP), or a hybrid partner, KPN offers a tailor-made program that goes beyond the ordinary.
It’s no big secret that no one really likes onboarding new tools, but we do things differently at Keepit. That’s why we’ve created the simplest to onboard and easiest to use solution available. Easy to implement, easy to operate, and easy to do business with. It’s a low entry point to start benefiting from Keepit. Customers of VARs and MSPs themselves recognize this, and they’ve gained a substantial advantage with our leading solution and customer experience.
We don’t see a need to offer our clients any other solution – nothing beats Keepit quite frankly.
