Axcient Teams With Ingram Micro to Tackle the $26 Billion Industry
for Backup, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Services
Leading Recovery-as-a-Service Provider Signs Exclusive
Distribution Agreement With the World's Largest Technology
Distributor to Accelerate Data and Application Protection to
Organizations Across U.S.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 26, 2014) - Axcient, the
leading Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) provider, today announced it
has expanded its strategic alliance with Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE:
IM), the world's largest wholesale technology distributor and
leading cloud services aggregator and provider.
The new U.S. distribution agreement further positions Axcient to
tackle the $26 billion industry for backup, disaster recovery and
business continuity services and names Ingram Micro as the sole
distribution partner for Axcient's RaaS solution. Ingram Micro was
awarded the Axcient business because of the distributor's superior
performance, proven cloud expertise, excellent partner support,
broad reach and award-winning Cloud Marketplace. Since signing with
Ingram Micro and the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace in 2012,
Axcient's distribution business has grown by 400 percent.
News Facts:
- By working together, Axcient and Ingram Micro are enabling U.S.
channel partners with a leading RaaS offering that eliminates
disparate traditional technology solutions such as backup, business
continuity, disaster recovery and archiving. This collaboration
empowers MSPs with an all-in-one solution to protect and recover
data and applications.
- As a leading cloud services aggregator and provider for the IT
channel, Ingram Micro provides channel partners access to hundreds
of leading cloud solutions via the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace,
a transactional, online marketplace where channel partners can
educate themselves, browse, buy, deploy and manage a comprehensive
suite of cloud services with ease and efficiency directly from
Ingram Micro. With a team of more than 120 dedicated cloud
specialists, Ingram Micro helps channel partners establish their
cloud practices and grow their annuity cloud revenue.
- By building from the ground up and re-thinking the information
management and business continuity needs of businesses, Axcient has
created an entirely new type of platform for data and application
protection that replaces traditional backup, business continuity,
archiving and disaster recovery technologies. Built in the cloud,
for the cloud, Axcient eliminates data loss, keeps applications up
and running and makes sure IT infrastructures never go down. The
Axcient cloud platform is so simple to install and use, it
completely transforms the user experience.
Comments "From day one, Axcient has demonstrated a strong
channel commitment by providing extensive support resources through
dedicated, collaborative sales efforts, joint marketing activities
and ongoing solutions training," said Renee Bergeron, vice
president, worldwide cloud, Ingram Micro. "Earning exclusive access
to the Axcient business is testimony to Ingram Micro Cloud's proven
ability to execute, plan and empower channel partners to
successfully sell cloud services by providing them access to the
best people, processes and platform available. This expanded
relationship more strategically aligns Ingram Micro Cloud with one
of the industry's strongest business continuity service providers
and enables us to build upon our mutual success."
"Today's businesses are expected to be always on and always
available, which is why antiquated data backup and disaster
recovery solutions no longer meet their needs," said Ken Sims, vice
president of business development at Axcient. "Ingram Micro Cloud's
reach, expertise and business execution combined with Axcient's
robust cloud platform provide the perfect alliance for tackling
today's $26 billion industry for backup, disaster recovery and
business continuity services."
Axcient will be sponsoring the Ingram Micro Cloud Summit 2014 in
Hollywood, Fla., April 7 - 9 and the company's CEO Justin Moore
will be participating in an executive panel on how channel partners
can "rise above" in 2014 to build a more successful cloud services
business.
