Cloud backup and recovery solutions company, Keepit, has signalled its commitment to the UK market, announcing the opening of a UK headquarters in London.
Keepit says the move will also help the expansion of its UK team, led by Jerry Mumford, VP for UK, Ireland and MEA.
This announcement builds on a recent $40 million refinancing package from HSBC Innovation Banking and launch of the Keepit Partner Network as the company evolves to a partner-only strategy.
“Establishing a stronger base in the UK is an important step for Keepit: an opportunity to build on the foundations we already have here and grow our partner ecosystem and customer base,” said Jerry Mumford, Keepit VP for UK, I and MEA.
“The UK market is significant, with a robust IT infrastructure and high levels of new technology adoption.
“But that means it is also a key target for cybercriminals and of course data loss can seriously impact business continuity.
“Our commitment to vendor independence, broad service coverage, fast recovery times and dedication to security, will mean that more UK organisations will have the resilience to keep their businesses running, even when disaster strikes.”
