DENVER, July 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pax8, the leading value-added cloud distributor, today announced a strategic partnership with Datto, Inc., the leading provider of total data protection solutions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

The announcement was made in conjunction with CompTIA’s ChannelCon event, taking place this week in Austin, Texas.
“We are excited to offer MSPs a one-stop destination for all three of Datto’s business lines through our new strategic alignment,” said Ryan Walsh, senior vice president of Partner Solutions at Pax8. “The partnership with Datto will provide MSPs worldwide with enablement, support, and access to our dedicated Cloud Solutions Advisors, billing, and provisioning.
