ThrottleNet Named to the Channel Futures MSP 501 2021 Rankings
JULY 21, 2021: ThrottleNet has been named one of the world’s premier managed service providers in the prestigious 2021 Channel Futures’ MSP 501 rankings. This marks the seventh year in a row that ThrottleNet has earned a place on the list, and the MSP 501 2021 results are especially exciting: the company gained 161 spots from last year to rank 235th in the world among managed service providers. That kind of jump reflects sustained growth, strong client retention, and a relentless focus on service.For the past 15 years, MSPs from around the globe have submitted applications to be included on this prestigious and definitive listing. The Channel Futures MSP 501 survey examines organizational performance based on annual sales, recurring revenue, profit margins, revenue mix, growth opportunities, innovation, technology solutions supported, and company and customer demographics.

The MSP 501 2021 list attracted a record number of applicants and was one of the most competitive in the survey’s history. Winners are being recognized on the Channel Futures website and will be honored at a special ceremony at the MSP Summit held Nov. 1–2 in Las Vegas as part of the Channel Partners Conf. & Expo.
“The 2021 Channel Futures MSP 501 winners are the highest-performing and most innovative IT providers in the industry today. They stand head and shoulders above the competition,” said Robert DeMarzo, vice president of content for the Channel Futures and Channel Partners Conference & Expo division of Informa Tech Channels. “Coordinated by Channel Futures MSP 501 editor Allison Francis, this year’s list was clearly one of the best ever on record.”
The complete 2021 MSP 501 list is available on Channel Futures’ website.
About the MSP 501 2021 Award Process
The MSP 501 2021 list is based on confidential data collected and analyzed by the Channel Futures editorial and research teams. Data was collected online from March 1 through May 24, 2021. The list recognizes top managed service providers based on metrics including recurring revenue, profit margin, and a range of other performance factors.
Managed service providers that qualify for the MSP 501 2021 must pass a rigorous review conducted by the research team and editors of Channel Futures, who rank applicants using a unique methodology. That methodology weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue, and operational efficiency. Because the evaluation is data-driven rather than based on reputation alone, earning a place on the MSP 501 2021 is a genuine measure of a provider’s strength.
Since its inception, the MSP 501 has evolved from a competitive ranking into a vibrant community of innovators focused on high levels of customer satisfaction at small, medium, and large organizations in both the public and private sectors. Today, many of their services and technology offerings address growing customer needs in the areas of cloud, security, collaboration, and support of hybrid workforces.
