Datto is happy to announce we have finalized the acquisition by Vista Equity Partners, a leading investment firm focused on software, data and technology-enabled businesses. The acquisition, first announced in late October, and the simultaneous merger with Vista portfolio company Autotask, have been followed by an intensive integration between the companies. The result is a single entity designed to empower Managed Service Providers with Autotask’s in demand IT business management offerings and Datto’s award-winning data protection solutions.
