The MSP model is built on managing machines. Scylos changes the machine.
Managed services is a great business with a structural flaw: your cost and your risk both scale with every endpoint you take on. Scylos removes the stateful endpoint that drives the work, so MSPs and MSSPs can grow margin, capacity, and resilience at the same time. We also work with leading technology and channel partners, including Accenture, Microsoft (Windows 365), AuthX, and Island.
You sell outcomes. You're priced on labor.
MSPs and MSSPs promise uptime, security, and a managed fleet, then deliver it with a stack of agents and a team of technicians. Every new account adds endpoints, and every endpoint adds agents to license, patches to apply, drift to remediate, and trucks to roll. The model works, but it scales the wrong things: cost and risk grow in lockstep with revenue.
A large, growing market with a hard ceiling
Demand for managed endpoints keeps rising, but growth is bounded by endpoints per technician, and skilled techs are the scarcest, most expensive input you have.
The four pressure points every MSP feels
Labor doesn't scale
Patch nights, reimaging, and truck rolls grow with every seat. You can't hire your way out, the technicians aren't there.
Margin erodes with growth
Resold tooling carries thin markup and the labor behind it eats the rest. Bigger book, thinner per-seat margin.
Risk concentrates on you
You hold the keys to every client's fleet. One bad agent update or one breached endpoint becomes your incident across every account.
Resilience is borrowed
Your uptime depends on vendors' agents behaving. When the industry has a bad day, it's your phones that ring.
Most of your cost of goods exists to manage state.
EDR, AV, RMM, MDM, patch tooling, SIEM ingest, backup, the agent stack is there because the endpoint keeps state, and the labor is there to keep that state healthy. None of it grows your business; all of it grows with every seat. Take the persistent OS off the endpoint and the stack isn't trimmed, it's eliminated, because the condition that required it is gone.
What happens to cost of goods
Hold price and watch margin climb, or cut the client's bill to win the deal and still earn more. Ranges only, exact figures live in the MSP calculator.
Less to manage means less to defend.
Centralized control, your cloud
Switchboard governs every device, policy, and persona from one console inside your own tenant, provision or retire one device or a whole fleet at once.
Nothing to steal at rest
No credentials, profiles, or configuration persist on the endpoint, so there's no standing loot for an attacker to inherit.
Reboot to known-good
No persistent OS to corrupt and no kernel agent to push a bad update into. A Scylos ZeroCore endpoint reboots clean and keeps running.
Smaller blast radius
When the endpoint keeps nothing, a compromised session ends at reset, it doesn't become a fleet-wide incident on your watch.
Grow the book without growing the work.
Scylos lets you carry far more endpoints per technician, lift margin per seat, and hand your clients resilience you don't have to babysit, all while you keep the services relationship and the recurring revenue. The deal is simple: a flat $7 per device, and you keep the services margin.
The MSP case, in detail
For MSPs & MSSPs
One tech. Up to 6× the endpoints.
The treadmill
You're running a Windows life-support business.
Margin per seat
When the work disappears, so does your cost of goods.
