MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Axcient Inc., an innovator of comprehensive data backup, business continuity and disaster recovery services for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their Small and Mid-Sized Business (SMB) customers, today announced a technology alliance with N-able Technologies.  As part of the new alliance, Axcient's backup and recovery services now integrate with the managed services technology pioneer's new N-central® 7.0 remote management and monitoring (RMM) platform with groundbreaking freemium software.

Announced earlier this year, N-central 7.0 introduces the managed services industry's first hybrid RMM platform combining Professional licenses and free Essential licenses. It also delivers new features including self-healing automation, enterprise-class endpoint security that is free for one year, and extensive support for Windows 7 devices.

The new integration capabilities between Axcient and N-central provide MSPs with a single dashboard to track all backup and recovery statuses, notifications, and other events via the same familiar and common N-able interface that they use to perform all of their remote IT tasks.  The addition of Axcient's capabilities now gives N-able MSPs unique data protection capabilities including the ability to restore laptops, desktops and servers, as well as support for common critical applications such as Microsoft Exchange and the Microsoft Small Business Server suite.

"Our partners continually tell us that there is huge value in providing the 'single pane of glass' for the MSP that is juggling multiple platforms across all of their customers," says Justin Moore, Founder and CEO of Axcient, Inc. "We had a critical mass of partners adopting the N-able monitoring platform, so it made sense to prioritize this integration for our partners."

"Managed online backup and recovery is one of the fastest growing segments within our partners' service portfolios – namely because it's a logical first place to introduce cloud computing, as well as to offer enhanced value to clients while driving costs out of their own businesses," says Rob Bissett, Director of Product Management for N-able. "The combination of Axcient with N-able's N-central 7.0 offers a simplified solution for MSPs who are looking to add these management services to the mix or simply are unsatisfied with their current provider. We're very pleased to offer this technical integration to our mutual partner base and see tremendous sales potential around these types of services for the MSP channel at large."

As part of the technology alliance, the new Axcient custom service for N-central can be downloaded via N-able's Resource Center. The integration allows MSPs to remotely monitor their customers' key backup and recovery data via a simple click through to Axcient's integrated, elegant web browser view.
