Aug. 7, 2008 - PRLog -- Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – Roaring Penguin Software Inc., makers of the acclaimed CanIt line of anti-spam solutions, today announced an alliance with N-able Technologies, a leading global supplier of remote monitoring and management software and specialized business support services for managed service providers (MSPs), which integrates their technologies and enables channel partners to more effectively monitor and manage the anti-spam portion of their clients’ e-mail communications infrastructure.

The powerful combination of Roaring Penguin Software’s CanIt and N-able's N-Central software allows solution providers and MSPs to provide their clients with the peace of mind, knowing their anti-spam e-mail infrastructure is up and running.
