With the evolution of the cloud, cloud services are becoming widely accessible and are a more viable option for delivering virtual desktops from the cloud. However, many organizations also struggle with the transition to the cloud due to the new skills required and a different approach to infrastructure and operations. Nerdio is a game-changer by simplifying and enabling efficient and effective operational tools through automated deployment and configuration features, streamlined setup, and cost-effective running of cloud environments.
Greater visibility into cloud costs
Managing cloud costs effectively is a significant challenge for many organizations. As they transition to cloud-based solutions, they often find their budgets spiraling out of control due to a lack of visibility and understanding of their cloud spend. Without the right building blocks, these companies exceed their cloud budgets and fail to properly optimize their resources, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary expenses. Nerdio Manager for Enterprise addresses these pain points by providing comprehensive control, confidence, and visibility into cloud spend:
- Sophisticated reporting and real-time analyticsNerdio’s intuitive dashboard provides insight into overall cloud spending and expert guidance on how to achieve additional savings in real time.
- Advanced Auto ScalingThe platform fine-tunes resource allocation, adjusting up or down as needed to ensure you only pay for the resources you actually use. This dynamic scaling capability not only optimizes costs, but also ensures that the necessary resources are available when they are needed.
Based on what we’ve seen from our existing customer base, Nerdio Manager autoscaling can easily save you up to 75% on Azure compute and storage costs.
Simplify management and optimize productivity
Managing and scaling Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) can be a complex and time-consuming task, particularly due to the limited native management tools available in Azure. Organizations often struggle with scaling and require a robust solution to deploy at scale with the IT resources they have in-house.
Additionally, companies migrating from Citrix or VMware expect comprehensive management capabilities, which are often missing from the native Azure platform. This gap requires highly skilled technical resources to design, build, deploy, and manage their AVD environments.
Nerdio Manager for Enterprise simplifies the entire process with a comprehensive management tool. With Nerdio, even IT generalists can efficiently create, deploy, and manage Azure Virtual Desktop environments thanks to these product features:
- Image Management: Nerdio automates, manages, and schedules critical but routine tasks, allowing IT teams to focus on other essential tasks. This automation not only saves time, but also reduces the risk of human error.
- Rapid deployment: You can deploy Azure Virtual Desktop environments in a few hours or connect to an existing environment in as little as 10 minutes with minimal manual intervention. Nerdio’s intuitive interface streamlines virtual desktop provisioning, making the process fast and efficient.
The automation built into Nerdio Manager for Enterprise ensures you can effectively scale and manage your virtual desktop environments in 20% of the time it would normally take.
Secure and protect
Ensuring the security and protection of your Azure Virtual Desktop environment is critical for business continuity. Downtime can have significant financial impacts, so having robust security and disaster recovery capabilities is essential. Nerdio Manager for Enterprise improves the security and resilience of your Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, providing advanced tools to protect your virtual desktop infrastructure:
- Disaster Recovery (DR):The dynamic autoscaling mentioned above can also be leveraged for disaster recovery. This functionality ensures that your resources can scale up or down in response to fluctuations in demand, maintaining operational efficiency and minimizing downtime. By dynamically adjusting resources, Nerdio helps organizations avoid the substantial financial losses associated with extended outages.
- Role-based access control (RBAC)The RBAC feature ensures that permissions are strictly managed within Azure, giving users access to only the resources required for their roles, thereby improving overall security.
- Secure Deployment Model:Nerdio Manager for Enterprise is deployed as an Azure application directly within your own subscription. This ensures that sensitive management operations are performed within the customer’s controlled and secure Azure infrastructure, further enhancing the security of the AVD environment.
Nerdio offers comprehensive security and protection features, ensuring your AVD deployment is resilient and secure, while minimizing risk and potential financial loss.
Whether troubleshooting technical issues, optimizing performance, or meeting licensing requirements, Nerdio’s comprehensive set of tools and features helps IT teams of all sizes maximize their AVD investment while driving operational excellence and fostering a more productive workforce.
