NinjaOne has released NinjaOne Remote, a remote access solution designed for unified endpoint management. It provides IT teams and managed service providers (MSPs) with secure and efficient control over endpoints across various operating systems including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. Key features include a complete technician toolset that allows fast device connection and troubleshooting, the ability to run unlimited simultaneous sessions, and an intuitive end-user portal for secure remote access. The solution complies with various regulations such as ISO 27001 and GDPR, ensuring high standards of compliance and data protection.
Netrio has launched a suite of M&A technology diligence and integration services specifically designed for private equity firms. The services aim to help investors mitigate technology risks, ensure continuity from day one, and map integration costs and sequences. Key features include technology due diligence covering infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, and applications, as well as integration strategy, transition planning, and cybersecurity risk assessments. The offering consists of three modular tiers: Tier 1 for rapid readiness, Tier 2 for full due diligence, and Tier 3 for an integration blueprint. These services leverage the NetrioNow platform for real-time tracking and auditability, addressing gaps in traditional IT due diligence processes.
Proxmox has released the first stable version of its Datacenter Manager product, which provides centralized management for multiple Proxmox-based environments. This product offers features such as an aggregated view of connected nodes and clusters, VM migration across clusters without manual network reconfiguration, VM fleet management tools for patch identification, and a dashboard for monitoring host workloads and their statuses. Datacenter Manager is built on Debian Trixie 13.2 and utilizes version 6.17 of the Linux kernel, with ZFS 2.3.4 included. This product positions Proxmox as a viable alternative to VMware, particularly for organizations that require basic server virtualization without extensive features.
Why do we care?
What jumps out here is how much the market is moving toward standardization and control—sometimes in ways that help MSPs, and sometimes in ways that add pressure.
A native remote tool inside an RMM sounds great: fewer agents, fewer moving parts, fewer points of failure. But remember: every time a vendor pulls another function under their tent, they’re taking more ownership of your control plane. If that platform goes sideways, your whole operation goes with it. So stick with the same guidance: test hard before you consolidate.
Then there’s Netrio productizing private-equity diligence. That tells you everything about the current M&A climate—this isn’t a niche anymore. PE firms expect structured, repeatable tech reviews, and they expect MSPs to keep up, and make sure customers are ready for acquisition. If your documentation is messy or you rely on tribal knowledge, you’re going to feel this shift. Clean data is now a competitive advantage.
And Proxmox? This is more fallout from VMware’s decisions. Customers want out, vendors see the opportunity, and alternatives are getting easier to manage. But don’t pretend it’s a drop-in replacement for every environment. If your networking and storage hygiene isn’t rock solid, you’re just trading one set of headaches for another.
This points to a market that’s simplifying on the surface but demanding more rigor underneath. Your job is to keep optionality high, avoid vendor lock-in traps, and guide customers toward platforms that won’t surprise them—or you—when pricing or complexity shifts again.
