Cloud Software & SaaS - IT Management, Security & Data Protection (MSP Software)

Strategic Profile

Under the leadership of CEO John Pagliuca, N-able has positioned itself as a key player in the MSP software market, serving thousands of MSPs who in turn support hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses worldwide. N-able completed its separation from SolarWinds on July 20, 2021, and began trading as an independent public company on the New York Stock Exchange, enabling it to operate as a standalone entity fully dedicated to serving the MSP community.
