Island and Pax8, the global AI and cloud Marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), introduced Island for SMBs on the Pax8 Marketplace. This makes Island available to managed service provider (MSP) partners and their SMB customers worldwide.
The collaboration brings together two companies focused on simplifying technology for businesses that desperately need it. Island for SMBs is a single, secure, browser-based platform that consolidates the tools most SMBs are already paying for separately, including VPN, web filtering, data loss prevention (DLP), and password management, into one unified workspace built on the familiar Chromium open-source browser project.
Through the Pax8 Marketplace, MSP partners can now provision, manage, and bill for Island directly alongside their existing portfolio, with a full-featured trial available to initiate on behalf of any customer.
“SMB customers deserve the same level of protection that larger organizations have, without the complexity or the cost of stitching together a dozen different tools,” said Keith Weatherford, VP of Channels at Island. “Island solves that problem, and Pax8 is the premier partner to bring it to the MSP channel.”

For MSP partners, the integration creates a meaningful consolidation opportunity. Most SMB customers today run many separate security tools — each with its own licensing agreement, support escalation path, and renewal cycle. Island replaces that complexity with a single SKU, a single console, and a single vendor relationship, while expanding the MSP’s recurring revenue through a modular add-on structure that grows with each customer account.
“Our MSP partners are looking for solutions that simplify how they deliver security and productivity for their SMB customers without adding operational complexity,” said Oguo Atuanya, Corporate VP of Vendor Experience at Pax8. “Island brings a unified approach that aligns well with that need, consolidating multiple capabilities into a single platform while supporting partner margin and growth.”
Through Pax8, Island for SMBs delivers:
