N-able Technologies' New N-central 6 Delivers the Features, Functionality and Support Partners Want
New platform offers integrated remote desktop and server management tools and extended support and interoperability for emerging technologies including Intel vPro, Microsoft Vista and WSUS
Ottawa, Canada — May 15, 2007 — N-able Technologies®, the preferred supplier of managed services software and business transformation services for resellers servicing small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced the next generation of its N-central managed services platform.
Available immediately, the new N-central® 6 incorporates advanced features and functionality such as N-able's breakthrough remote desktop and server management products — Remote Support Manager™ and Remote Environment Manager™. These powerful and flexible PC/Server management tools dramatically enhance the ability of managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver cost-effective remote support and remote environment management as primary services within their managed solutions portfolio.
In addition, the release of N-central 6 extends N-able's multiplatform offering with the addition of Microsoft® Vista™ and Intel® vPro™ processor technology, as well as interoperable patch management support for Microsoft Windows Software Update Services (WSUS).
"We've been delivering remote services for years, and N-central 6 has really made a difference in the level of service and support we are providing to our clients today," says Judy Bensinger, president, Bensinger Consulting, a successful SMB-focused solution provider located in Phoenix, Arizona. "The new integration between N-central 6 and WSUS is a big benefit for us and our clients as well. Not only can we run necessary technical patches after business hours, but we can do so without having to send and pay a technician to go out in the field to issue it. I have to say N-able's N-central 6 certainly delivers ROI and the responsiveness and support from N-able's partner development has been immensely helpful."
August Wehrmann, N-able's vice president of research and development, attributes the advancements of the new N-central 6 to a number of elements including candid partner feedback, innovative thinking and a positively charged internal focus on partner care and technology excellence.
"Our engineers have worked hard to ensure the N-central 6 platform delivers the stability, features and functionality our MSP partners want and need, to maximize their capabilities, increase managed services revenues and lower service delivery costs," continues Wehrmann.
N-able also credits services commoditization as one of the primary drivers for pushing the envelope and developing N-central 6 equipped with the new remote desktop and server management products, WSUS interoperability and multiplatform support.
"As managed services evolve into a mainstream service delivery model, the threat of commoditization becomes more prevalent," says Gavin Garbutt, N-able's president and CEO. "As a pioneer of this space, it is N-able's responsibility to help partners fight off commoditization and ensure they have the technology, resources and support they need to become the world's most successful MSPs. It is this vision for success that continues to drive the technology advancements behind N-able's N-central platform and sparks the innovation for new resources such as the Velocity Partner Center which will debut later this year."
"N-able's software and Intel vPro processor technology combine to provide new value-added services and benefits to our shared channel customers," says Steve Dallman, general manager of Intel's Reseller Channel Organization. "The interoperability between N-central 6 and Intel vPro processor technology provides new levels of remote management and monitoring. This will help MSPs maximize operational efficiency and simplify service processes with the result of increasing their customers' uptime and overall productivity."
