This annual event, in its seventh year, attracted more than 2,900 attendees who simplify and manage technology for SMBs around the world.

Our announcements at DattoCon spotlight how Datto continues to innovate in our core product lines that are purpose-built for MSPs,” said Emily Glass, chief product officer. “Prime examples include Datto’s cloud-first Cloud Continuity for PCs which extends our capabilities to protect all SMB data and Datto Networking’s new high-performance Layer 3 switches. These additions help MSPs address critical IT issues for clients while creating margin opportunities for partners to grow their managed services.

Highlights of products or enhancements include:

  • Cloud Continuity for PCs: Even with so much data being centralized on file servers and SaaS applications, an amount of important business data still lives on unprotected employee PCs. Cloud Continuity for PCs is an image-based, all-in-one BC solution for PCs that utilizes the firm’s patent-pending technology. It takes continuous backups and protects critical PC data from ransomware attacks, lost or stolen devices or accidental deletion. MSPs can recover individual files or an entire PC image without the need for a local appliance, access reliable backups of PC data, and virtualize backup images in the Datto Cloud. With this latest addition to the company’s Unified Continuity suite of products, MSPs now need one vendor to protect all critical business data for SMBs.

  • Siris 4: The next generation of the firm’s BCDR appliances are here. Built for MSPs, Siris 4 is reliable, all-in-one BCDR solution. It is optimized for MSP with improved backup resiliency and verification, enhanced virtualization performance, and increased device durability. These devices include the Xeon D Skylake and 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Cascade Lake processors which feature additional cores and a dedicated write cache (SLOG). The enhanced computing power means the Siris 4 can virtualize 50% faster than previous devices, virtualize more agents per device, and ensure clients’ heavy-duty apps run.

  • SaaS Protection for O365 with Vade Email Security: In partnership with Vade Secure, provider in predictive email defense for Office 365, SaaS Protection users can leverage AI-based threat detection, powered by threat intelligence from 600 million mailboxes globally to detect emerging phishing, spear phishing and malware attacks. Available bundled with SaaS Protection, this offering provides email filtering natively within Office 365.

  • Improved partner experience with SaaS Protection: Additional enhancements reinforce the company’s commitment to an MSP-friendly SaaS protection solution with a new pricing model and MSP incentives, a streamlined client onboarding process and a redesigned ‘SaaS Protection Backup Status’ page with aggregate client metrics that saves time when checking account status.

  • Layer 3 switches and enhanced cloud management: Datto Networking continues to be a MSP-centric networking product line available on the market. The launched E310 Series switches are cloud-managed and deliver enterprise performance at an affordable price. Partner-requested features include Layer 3 routing, 10Gb SFP+ with Direct Attach Cable (DAC) support, and enhanced security features, including support for 802.1x radius authentication. This next gen of switches enables the company’s networking partners to provide more options to their SMB clients and helps them deliver more networking capabilities as managed services.

Also new is Network Manager – the firm’ networking’s redesigned cloud management platform featuring a streamlined and more efficient layout, an audit log to track every management or system action taken, and events and alerts. This also includes native push notifications via the mobile application to inform MSPs of important device updates.

  • RMM HTML5 remote control beta and networking integration: MSPs often rely on remote takeover technology to troubleshoot for their clients. To improve this experience for the firm’s RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) partners, the company announced the launch of the beta of a brand HTML5 based remote control technology that allows support technicians to remote control a device in under fives from any device using just their browser.

    A new, native integration with Datto Networking opens the opportunity for MSPs to monitor and control all available network and power devices directly within RMM. Also new is a rewritten UI, beginning with user-configurable dashboards and the introduction of a new dark mode that will be applied throughout the platform in the coming months. The user interface will deliver new ways for MSPs to unlock data and work faster within their estate.

  • Autotask PSA user experience: All new account dashboards display a real-time executive summary of accounts within Autotask CRM, giving users an instant understanding of the health of their accounts and any actions that need to be taken. The Opportunity UI provides users with a configurable layout of sales opportunities, including a timeline to display sales velocity, a checklist with steps to ensure conversion, and an ‘insights’ rail to understand related items. LiveMobile 2.0 for Android was also announced and provides Android users with native PSA capabilities while in the field. Dark mode is available throughout the product.
