CrashPlan, the authority on secure, scalable, straightforward data backup, today announced it has signed a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro Inc. and its Emerging Business Group (EBG) to distribute cloud backup solutions to Ingram Micro’ s extensive network of channel partners in the U.S.

Under the new agreement, Ingram Micro will help CrashPlan connect with U.S.-based partners and provide a platform for enabling value-added resellers (VARs) as well as managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) on its data backup solutions, which offer notable features including:

  • Automatic, continuous protection without the need for intervention
  • Unlimited storage with no file size or quantity restrictions
  • Ability to restore to another device or web-browser
  • 256-bit AES encryption in-transit and at rest with configurable key escrow support compliance needs
