1. Who is Kaseya?
Kaseya is a managed or ‘shared’ service provider (MSP), which provides an inventory, patch and systems management tool suite hosted in the ‘cloud’.
According to documentation, in the VSA system architecture, software ‘agents’ are installed onto the systems under management. The agent phones home to the Kaseya VSA servers in the ‘cloud’, submitting performance and systems data for presentation on an easy-to-use dashboard.
The gist is: VSA will save you time and money by making it easier to manage and patch systems at scale. The product does what it says on the box.
Kaseya VSA is also similar to Solarwinds, another systems management product recently made infamous by a security breach.
