Integrations and solutions announced at Ignite

A large event like this is a great opportunity for organizations to get plenty of eyes and ears on new announcements that will propel them into the next fiscal year. Here are a few announcements from channel players to coincide with the event.

NinjaOne integrates with Microsoft Intune

NinjaOne, an automated endpoint management platform, announced that it is integrating with Microsoft Intune to streamline ingestion of Intune device data into NinjaOne’s platform.

Additionally, NinjaOne will now be the official RMM partner for Windows 365 business.

The integration will improve endpoint visibility, management, and compliance, and simplify IT, making IT teams and MSPs more efficient and productive.

“NinjaOne’s integration with Microsoft Intune gives customers the best of all worlds – the ability to act on Intune’s canonical device data from NinjaOne’s real-time management and automation platform,” said Rahul Hirani, chief product officer at NinjaOne.

By becoming the official RMM partner for Windows 365 Business, organizations can securely scale Cloud PCs across a global workforce while reducing cybersecurity risk and streamlining compliance.

IT teams and MSPs will also be able to manage Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs along with their other physical and virtual servers, laptops, and mobile devices from NinjaOne’s single interface.

BitTitan partners with PowerSyncPro, announces two new solutions

BitTitan, an IT migration tool, announced a new partnership with PowerSyncPro, a directory sync and workstation migration tool, and unveiled two new solutions within its migration portfolio: Directory Sync and Migration Agent.

The partnership will deliver a user-friendly approach to complex workstation migrations to move Windows devices across multiple Active Directory and/or Microsoft 365 environments.

“Organizations are under increasing pressure to modernize without disruption,” said Aaron Wadsworth, General Manager at BitTitan. “Through our partnership with PowerSyncPro and our latest enhancements to MigrationWiz for Active Directory and Entra ID, we’re empowering IT teams to move faster, with greater control and confidence.”

Directory Sync will be available through BitTitan, and it provides real-time synchronization across Active Directory, Entra ID, and Google Workspace, offering unmatched scalability and flexibility for hybrid or multi-directory environments.

The PowerSyncPro Migration Agent delivers at scale:

• Seamless workstation transitions
• Preserves user profiles
• Automatically reconfigures applications for the new environment 

Rubrik product announcements

Rubrik, a security and AI operations company, also announced new capabilities during Microsoft Ignite, in collaboration with the host company.

The new capabilities are: Rubrik Agent Cloud with full integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Rubrik Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365, and DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub.

These capabilities will help customers manage AI agents and recover quickly from cyberattacks or major outages.

The integration of Rubrik Agent Cloud with Microsoft Copilot Studio will help organizations adopt agents at scale, enabling them to monitor, govern, and remediate to reduce risk. The solution automatically discovers, monitors, and protects new agents, enabling organizations to scale AI confidently while maintaining control and compliance.

The Rubrik Intelligent Business Recovery for M365 and DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub solutions will give enterprises intelligent, orchestrated recovery in the wake of a cyber incident or major outage. They will enable backup and recovery, helping enterprises restore mission-critical functions for operational resilience.

“When outages occur, it can take an enterprise weeks – or even months – to get their teams back online and their data recovered,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “Rubrik’s new AI and cyber resilience tools make it easy and faster to prioritize and restore your most important assets from code repositories to Microsoft 365, that are at the core of an enterprise’s operations, so customers can keep businesses operating while full data recovery is in process.”

MongoDB debuts new Azure integrations

MongoDB, an open-source, non-relational database management system (DBMS), announced new integrations with Microsoft Azure aimed at helping enterprises build next-gen AI applications securely and confidently.

“As businesses look beyond simple chatbots and build intelligent agents that can remember, reason, and act with real-time context, they’ve found that their agents must have easy access to massive volumes of real-time, proprietary data and that the bar for truly enterprise-grade AI requires exceptional trust, as well as exceedingly tight security and governance,” said Olivier Zieleniecki, global VP of cloud partnerships at MongoDB.

The new integrations include:

• MongoDB in the Azure Foundry: The MongoDB Model Context Protocol Server will now be available in the AI Foundry Tools Catalog, allowing organizations to securely connect intelligent agent workflows and copilots to live enterprise data in MongoDB Atlas.
• New access to models from Voyage AI by MongoDB: The voyage-3.5 embedding model by MongoDB is now available within the Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft Marketplace, making it easier for developers to build practical AI applications with Atlas on Azure.
• Simplified compliance with Azure Landing Zones: Through a new integration between MongoDB and Azure Landing Zones, Atlas workloads will be able to automatically inherit corporate policies and security controls defined within the Cloud Adoption Framework.
• Real-time visibility with Microsoft Sentinel: MongoDB Atlas Connector for Microsoft Sentinel, a new offering, gives teams real-time visibility and unified automated threat detection and response across every Atlas workload.
