Keepit a Leader of Back-up and Recovery Opens Two Canadian Data Centers

Business News News April 4th 2022

Keepit,  a well-known and independent vendor-neutral cloud devoted to SaaS data protection with blockchain verified solutions has announced the inauguration of its first-ever data centers in Canada. To run these data centers efficiently, Keepit has partnered with the data center colocation provider, Equinix. This surely will allow Keepit to provide a data storage solution that obeys all Canadian laws and regulations for businesses operating both inside and outside of the country.

Jakob Østergaard, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Keepit, said, “Our superior data center strategy always allows customers to immediately recover and restore the lost or compromised data. All data centers of Equinix are globally known for their exceptional level of security. Each location has full copies of user data, along with two mirrored physical locations, so that our clients rest assured that their data will always be available to them, regardless of their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) vendor’s current status. Keepit guarantees confidently that our infrastructure ensures that all customers’ data remains at the original place only, there’s no middleware transmission outside regions. We feel proud that we are the first and only vendor to claim this”.

The two new data centers will help in the rapid growth of the data Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS), and recovery industry, which has been parted away by the exponential increase in data volumes as a result of increased adoption of connected technologies and digital transformation initiatives.

Salesforce, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365

With the opening of two new data centers, Keepit commits to providing the fastest, most secure, and most efficient service to its expanding Canadian customer base. It also demonstrates the significant growth of its global network. The company also works on improving its capacity to provide seamless, low-latency data backup and recovery services all across popular platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce.

The architecture of Keepit is built on various distinct, mirrored data centers in each area, each of which operates in active-active mode, ensuring that data is constantly copied between them. It ensures that even if the single system fails, or even the unusual scenario of data loss or the entire data center affects, still the platform’s operations would remain unaffected. The Keepit’s clients’ data will remain unaffected and can be easily recovered.

XenTegra is Keepit’s current Canadian partner, who has recognized the necessity of delivering data sovereignty to Canadian organizations through local data centers, and also data storage that is different from the core environment and independent of the SaaS vendor’s storage locations.

XenTegra is a global information technology solutions advisor and reseller company that is focused on digital workspace technologies and cloud computing, so now the company can enjoy good momentum in Canada.

Moin Khan, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Xentegra said, “We are noticing an immense need for Keepit’s solution among our customers. The huge concern for Canadian entities we found is the location, as whenever we talked to our customers about backup, their immediate query was, will the data reside within the country. Thus, Keepit decided to invest in local, dual, mirrored, and load-balanced data centers, which is a welcome move that ensures the continuity of data availability, along with the independent and local dedicated private cloud infrastructure. Thus, XenTegra is very pleased and happy to be a Keepit partner.
