MICROSOFT WPC, Houston, TX, Booth #344 — July 7, 2008 — N-able Technologies®, the preferred supplier of remote monitoring and management software and specialized business support services for managed service providers (MSPs), today announced its N-central® technology will be able to be used by Microsoft partners using System Center Operations Manager to gain remote console access over the Internet from a single web-based N-central console. N-able is also pleased to report it has joined the Microsoft System Center Alliance, an elite ecosystem of partners whose technologies are proven to integrate with Microsoft's Windows platform, as well as System Center Essential products and technologies.

"With this new capability, Microsoft MSPs can gather remote status from existing Operations Manager installations on computers and distributed applications and then with a single click, launch a remote Operations Manager session to drill into the details and take corrective action," says August Wehrmann, vice president of research & development, N-able Technologies. "Further, Microsoft MSPs will also be able to launch multiple Operations Manager sessions simultaneously from the N-central user interface, complementing N-central's existing ability to manage multiple customer networks from a single web-based console."
