News that SolarWinds plans to buy remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform vendor N-able Technologies should not come as surprise. We have seen two similar acquisitions in recent years —Dell’s purchase of SilverBack and CA’s purchase of Nimsoft. This acquisition, however, has the potential to create even more reverberations within the managed services community than either of the two RMM deals.
MSPAlliance is planning on speaking with N-able and SolarWinds executives tomorrow and we’ll have more analysis on what this deal means for MSPs. Stay tuned.
