Bleach! It keeps both your socks and your SOCs clean, if Matt and Rich are to be believed. And that’s just one of the hot topics they discuss this week with guest host and channel pro Michael Cocanower, of itSynergy. There’s also SonicWall’s latest security research, Bitdefender’s new managed detection and response service, Tech Data’s new Americas president, and Windows 10’s fifth birthday.†

Matt and Rich have a fever, channel pros, and the only prescription is this episode. Joined by MSP, author, and improv comic Bob Coppedge, of Simplex-IT, your hosts discuss co-managed IT, Dell’s attempt to “democratize” artificial intelligence, a new managed services suite from Pulseway inspired by the coronavirus pandemic work-from-home phenomenon, and the 20th birthday of ConnectWise’s IT Nation Evolve organization, formerly known as HTG Peer Groups.

It’s hard to put a price tag on good health and a good job these days. A good sandwich, though? That’s worth a cool million. Just ask Michael Goldstein, president and CEO of LAN Infotech and this week’s guest host. He has thoughts to share with Matt and Rich on other topics too, like the cross-platform “cyber resilience” functionality coming soon to Carbonite and Webroot, the many reasons veterans make good IT employees, and Kaseya’s latest product integrations.

The announcement follows a similar move last May involving N-central, SolarWinds’s on-premises RMM platform.

Technicians can now deploy Bitdefender protection on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints, track installation progress, and monitor update status through the Datto RMM interface.

The latest step in a long-term effort to make Managed Workplace the most security-focused product of its kind, the new integration lets technicians deploy Content Shield agents and view security-related metrics without exiting the RMM tool they use all day.

The latest edition of the vendor’s on-premises RMM platform includes new support for network topology mapping and disk encryption, plus enhanced automation and patch management capabilities.

Called My Workspace, the new portal is designed to make selling and supporting SonicWall products easier for providers of managed security services. New monthly pricing aims to make paying for those solutions via recurring revenue easier as well.

Announced by CEO Jason Magee (pictured), the blockbuster deals add BDR, security, and documentation to a lineup that already included RMM, PSA, quoting, and remote control, positioning ConnectWise to offer one of the industry’s most complete portfolios for MSPs.

New features across the portfolio are designed to simplify and secure IoT solutions from cloud to the edge, according to Azure IoT executive Sam George (pictured).
