Ingram Micro expands portfolio with Blocky for Veeam®

Schwäbisch-Gmünd, March 4th, 2024 – Ingram Micro Distribution GmbH welcomes GRAU DATA to its portfolio. The specialist for data protection, data archiving and metadata-driven data search is now making its Blocky for Veeam^® solution available to Ingram Micro’s specialist trade customers in Germany.

Ransomware is one of the biggest potential threats in the digital space and can cause major damage to companies by encrypting their data and backups. The last and most secure line of defense is a protected backup that ransomware cannot access. This is precisely the focus of the cooperation between Ingram Micro and GRAU DATA.

The basis of the Blocky for Veeam^® ransomware protection solution is GRAU DATA WORM technology, which has been tried and tested for many years, combined with a secure fingerprint process that reliably protects backups against deletion and write access and thus against malware. GRAU DATA relies on many years of experience in software development and the marketing of future-oriented innovations.

“GRAU DATA has set itself the goal of supporting companies, research institutions and administrations in successfully handling their data,” says Harry Weik, Senior Sales & Project Manager at GRAU DATA. “Our software products focus on the protection, efficient management and targeted use of data in order to create the basis for well-founded business decisions.”

Britta Appel, Senior Manager at Ingram Micro, continues: “The addition of GRAU DATA to our portfolio underlines our commitment to always offer our customers the most innovative solutions to meet their business needs. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with GRAU DATA and delivering value to our customers through this partnership.”
