The 20 has announced its new strategic partnership with N-able.

This collaboration stands to broaden The 20's offerings and service capabilities, while empowering members using N-able tools to streamline operations, improve efficiency and unlock new growth opportunities.

The partnership comes on the heels of The 20's acquisition of Collabrance — a "master MSP" that supports service providers on N-able's software stack — and serves to strengthen the Collabrance side of The 20's MSP network with enhanced integrations and expanded access to N-able's support resources.

The 20 is particularly excited to begin leveraging Cove Data Protection, N-able's powerful cloud-based backup solution. Going forward, The 20 will offer Cove as part of its standard security stack. Cove offers MSPs next-generation data backup with features like image-based backups, ransomware resilience and a user-friendly, unified interface. This robust solution allows for quick, automated data recovery, enabling businesses to swiftly resume operations in the event of data loss or disruption.

Adding Cove to its portfolio enhances The 20's ability to provide its MSP members with superior data protection and continuity services to their clients, an increasingly important aspect of IT management as the rapidly evolving threat landscape introduces more complex and frequent cyberattacks.

Cove stands apart from traditional backup solutions by offering a cloud-first architecture that simplifies backup and data recovery, reducing the need for a separate solution and avoiding the inefficiencies and high costs of legacy image-based systems.

The 20's leadership is thrilled to expand its offerings and help its members evolve their services to keep pace with clients' needs.

"This partnership is going to work wonders for our members —– especially those on N-able's stack," said Tim Conkle, founder and CEO, The 20. "We're excited to deepen our understanding of the N-able environment so we can help a large portion of our members leverage their chosen tools to the fullest. This is about making sure every MSP in our tent is positioned to reach its full potential."
