The acquisition gives SolarWinds a new brand, N-able by SolarWinds, and a robust set of Cloud-based offerings to meet the IT management needs of small businesses -- with fewer than 100 employees -- through the MSPs and Value-added Resellers they have come to trust.
"As small businesses continue to turn to MSPs and other service providers to support their business-critical IT environments via the Cloud, we believe that we are now well-positioned to extend our unique value proposition to this growing space and support these businesses' evolving IT management needs. MSPs need a strong partner focused on delivering products that are powerful, affordable, and purpose-built to ensure that they are getting everything that they can out of their IT investments," said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds' President and CEO.
"Over the past 13 years, N-able has developed a set of award-winning MSP-centric tools that have garnered strong recognition from the industry for their depth, breadth, and ease of use. We believe that the strength of the N-able brand, combined with SolarWinds' unique value proposition and go-to-market model, will allow us to accelerate N-able's growth and provide tremendous long-term value to managed service providers and the small businesses that they serve."
N-able was founded in 2000 and is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and currently serves more than 2600 MSPs. Like SolarWinds' products, N-able's portfolio is designed to solve the operational tasks MSPs face on a day-to-day basis in managing and securing small businesses' IT infrastructure via the Cloud.
N-able products will continue to be marketed and sold by N-able via the N-able website and from select channel partners.
