Partnering with Keepit means always being at the forefront of cloud SaaS data protection.

The Keepit difference for customers and partners

Keepit doesn't just offer benefits for resellers; we also provide unparalleled advantages for customers and partners alike. Many of Keepit's partners have a hybrid business model, acting as both Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs). Keepit's solutions are flexible enough to support both models, allowing resellers to seamlessly integrate SaaS data protection into their managed services practices.

  • Multiple data centers with fully load-balanced redundancy: 

We ensure data availability and data resiliency 24/7 with dual data centers per data region of choice, featuring fully load-balanced redundancy and air-gapped data storage. This maximizes data protection and data availability, supporting business continuity goals.

  • Native, built-in data immutability: 

Keepit's platform incorporates native data immutability, safeguarding data from unauthorized alterations or deletions and providing assurance of data integrity through blockchain-like encryption. Data remains tamper proof, always.

  • Transparent, predictable, all-inclusive pricing: 

Keepit operates on a transparent pricing model with no hidden fees. This makes it easy for partners and their customers to budget and plan effectively. 

  • Simple tool onboarding process: 

Keepit's intuitive setup process and automated features allow for easy implementation and management, with no training needed. This frees up time and resources for partners to focus on other aspects of their business.

  • Granular restore functionality: 

We simplify data recovery with granular, one-click restore functionality. This enables partners and customers to swiftly recover critical data in place in the event of data loss or disruptions, prioritizing business-critical data to minimize impact.

  • Recognized industry leadership: 

Keepit is consistently recognized as a leader in SaaS data protection by industry analysts. This demonstrates our commitment to delivering top-tier solutions and services.
