NGC and Keepit Forge Partnership for Japan Distribution
On May 20, 2025, NGC, a subsidiary of Hibino Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, signed a distribution and reseller partner agreement with the Danish company Keepit, headquartered in Copenhagen. The partnership aims to expand Keepit's advanced cloud-native SaaS data protection platform on the Japanese market.
Keepit offers a next-generation data protection solution specifically designed for cloud environments. Unlike traditional models, where users are solely responsible for protecting their data within cloud services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, Keepit operates on a unique cloud architecture that is independent of public cloud vendors. This system safeguards essential business applications, enhances cyber resilience, and ensures data protection for the future.
David Illman, the Head of APAC Sales at Keepit, expressed his excitement about the partnership: "We are thrilled to collaborate with NGC to officially launch our next-gen SaaS data protection platform at Interop Tokyo 2025. Keepit is trusted by thousands of organizations globally for cloud data protection and management. Key industry analysts recognize Keepit as the fastest and most secure enterprise-class backup and recovery service available. We are looking forward to accelerating our efforts in SaaS data protection in Japan with NGC."
In a similar vein, Harada Munemitsu, President of NGC, remarked, "We are genuinely honored to partner with Keepit as they enter the Japanese market. The simple yet cost-effective solutions that Keepit provides, ensuring 100% uptime, perfectly fulfill the demands for reliability and efficiency in the Japanese market. Through this partnership, we are confident in our ability to deliver superior cost-effectiveness for business continuity planning (BCP) and cybersecurity measures to our Japanese clients via an exceptional and straightforward platform."
The collaboration underscores NGC's commitment to providing cutting-edge data protection solutions tailored to the needs of Japanese businesses. The Keepit brand is known for its independence from vendor lock-in, allowing users to protect their data seamlessly across multiple platforms without concerns about cloud vendor dependencies. This flexibility not only gives businesses peace of mind but also strengthens their operational resilience against potential cyber threats.
Keepit’s products will be showcased at the Interop Tokyo 2025 event, held from June 11 to June 13, 2025, at the Makuhari Messe. Visitors can find the NGC/Keepit booth in Hall 7, Space 7F20, where live demonstrations of their integrated solutions will take place.
