MSPs using N-able’s N-central® managed services platform can now leverage Untangle’s open source network gateway to protect their customer networks

SAN MATEO, Calif. – June 17, 2008 – Untangle announced today a technology alliance, focused on its open source Gateway Platform, with Ottawa-based N-able Technologies, a global supplier of remote monitoring and management software and specialized business support services for managed service providers (MSPs). Under the new agreement, Untangle’s network security platform will now interoperate with N-able’s N-central managed services software.

“We have designed the Untangle MSP program specifically for MSPs that are delivering network security solutions to small and medium businesses,” said Chris Sterbenc, vice president of sales for Untangle. “Integrating with N-able will make it easier for our joint MSP customers to centrally filter web content and block spyware, viruses and other malware.”

“MSPs are eager to build out their managed services offerings with critical business applications that help protect their clients’ networks overall,” said Derik Belair, vice president of business development, N-able Technologies. “By aligning our N-central software with Untangle’s platform we’ve removed the complexity of integration and empowered our partners to build a stronger, more comprehensive managed network security portfolio.”

MSPs using N-able’s hosted or on-premise managed services software can offer their small and medium customers the best open source networking and security applications to block spam, spyware, viruses, adware and unwanted content on the network while maintaining operational efficiency through remote and centralized monitoring. Further, the interoperability of these technologies will serve as a springboard for ongoing collaboration between Untangle, N-able, and their MSP partners to create tools and services that support the MSP delivery model.
