NinjaOne Gets Backup Boost with $270M Dropsuite Deal

Austin, Texas-based NinjaOne this week confirmed that its acquisition of Australian cloud backup provider Dropsuite for approximately $270 million is a done deal.

The goal of the deal, according to NinjaOne's announcement, is to corral endpoint, server and SaaS application backups into a single platform. The idea is to simplify operations for MSPs and enterprise IT teams without compromising on data protection.

Dropsuite's services include automated backups for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and real-time e-mail archiving. Integrating these capabilities into NinjaOne's endpoint management platform addresses the growing need for cohesive data protection strategies amid increasing ransomware threats and compliance requirements.

This move follows a broader industry trend of consolidating IT management and data protection solutions. See, for instance, similar notable moves by competitors ConnectWise (which acquired Axcient and SkyKick) and Kaseya (which acquired Datto).
