N-able, the Canada-based supplier of the N-central platform for managed service providers, is investing in the Asia Pacific region. That includes Australia, where it already serves the most MSPs per capita.

N-able provides VARs, consultants and resellers with the tools they need to operate as managed services providers, allowing them to move from break/fix and project work to services that provide an ongoing revenue stream and bigger margins.

President and COO JP Jauvin told iTWire that the company had seen "a very healthy growth in performance" during 2011, in terms of the number of products, the number of devices under management, the number of new MSPs, and geographic growth.

"N-able is a healthy, growing, profitable company," he said.

Asia Pacific is "a very strategic region for N-able," said Mr Jauvin, and is the region where the company is making is largest per-capita investment. In particular, it is providing increased levels of local support and training in Australia and New Zealand.

Australia has more MSPs using N-central per capita than any other country, Mr Jauvin said, adding that they provide good coverage of geographic and vertical markets. Regionally, the focus is on addressing small and medium businesses (those with less than 100 employees) in the financial, healthcare, education and legal markets.
