The Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) service emerged in 2019 with the promise of ubiquitous delivery of enterprise-class virtual apps, desktops, and cloud workspaces to organizations around the world. It signalled Microsoft’s full, strategic embracement of the cloud as a viable and powerful source for organizations of any size to literally run some or all their business from the Azure cloud. Shortly after its arrival, it became clear that using AVD is not a trivial matter.
Many organizations have struggled to get up and running with the service, partly since AVD is still in its “early days” (became generally available in September of 2019), and partly because the service itself, to be fully utilized, can be complex and tedious for many IT organizations.
This is where Nerdio has stepped in, to enable organizations of any size to migrate to AVD quickly and easily, and once using the service, to take full advantage of its potential. IGEL OS is the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces. Simple, smart, and secure, it allows organizations’ endpoint devices to access AVD and other forms of DaaS and VDI in the most secure, cost-effective, and user-friendly way for both end-users and IT staff.
For firms looking to start taking advantage of AVD in the most timely and effective manner, combining the technologies from Nerdio and IGEL can make the journey to AVD fast and easy. Let’s look at some of the most compelling reasons to consider Nerdio and IGEL as key “table stakes” elements you must have in place if you plan to use AVD.
