N-able Acquires Spinpanel to Accelerate Cloud Strategy

N-able, Inc., a global software company specializing in remote monitoring and management, data protection as-a-service, and security solutions, has acquired Spinpanel, a multi-tenant Microsoft 365 management and automation platform built for Microsoft Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) to automate the provisioning, security, and management of all Microsoft tenants, users, and licenses.

A significant majority of N-able partners manage and/or resell Microsoft Cloud services for their small and medium enterprise customers. The acquisition is expected to help N-able partners alleviate two challenges—labor scarcity and efficient movement to the cloud. Spinpanel customers will have more direct access to the N-able solutions portfolio, as well as free educational and marketing resources.

“The ‘cloud’ is no longer a talk track in presentations; it’s an adoption speedway for IT professionals,” said John Pagliuca, President and CEO of N-able. “However, while the cloud presents an enormous opportunity, it also adds to the increasing complexity of IT environments, and that coupled with labor shortages can undermine its full potential. We believe the addition of Spinpanel to our team will help our partners optimize the value of their Microsoft Cloud products and, in turn, give Spinpanel customers access to a wider array of IT management and security solutions.”

“There is no reason why the cloud should be out of reach, including Microsoft Cloud which dominates most of the IT world,” stated Spinpanel CEO Bendert Post. “It’s really a matter of having the ability to harness its full capabilities while centralizing the ability to manage it.”

Based in Burlington, Massachusetts, N-able provides IT services providers with software solutions to monitor, manage, and secure their customers’ systems, data, and networks.

The addition of the Spinpanel technology into the N-able product portfolio is anticipated to occur during the third quarter. Further details regarding the transaction were not disclosed.
