We are Nerdio Partner – What that means, you will learn from Stefan Beckmann
Some have already heard: We are a proud partner of Nerdio. But what exactly does that mean and what benefits do our customers gain from it? To find out, we directly asked our NVP Stefan Beckmann.
Why is the partnership with Nerdio so important to us and how does it support our mission to offer our customers the best solutions?
Stefan Beckmann: The cooperation with Nerdio is of particular importance as it offers immense benefits to our customers, especially those who wish to use Azure Virtual Desktop.
On a technical level, the following features provide our customers with special support:
- Simple deployment and transparent billing
- Efficient cost management through adjustment of disk types and automatic fallback options using alternative VM types
- A hybrid approach between full DevOps and simplified, click-based solution, specifically for AVD processes
- Simplified management of user sessions
- A sophisticated automation environment that optimizes the provisioning of VMs for AVD
- Flexible scaling of resources according to needs and requirements
- Scalability of Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files Storage
- Effective RDP and FSLogix profile management
- Automated image management and deployment
- Optional cost analysis at the user level
- Extensions for application and device management
- Continuous updates and extensions to optimize workflows
With the growing range of functions, complex requirements can be implemented more easily. Thanks to the intuitive user interface, many of our customers are able to perform tasks independently after a short familiarization period, without relying on automation experts. Nerdio simplifies complex processes and tasks related to Azure Virtual Desktop and similar resources without replacing them. The close partnership with Microsoft allows Nerdio to develop new features early and introduce them promptly.
Stefan Beckmann has been an NVP (Nerdio Valued Professional) since early 2023. Stefan, can you explain what exactly an NVP is and what role it plays in our partnership with Nerdio?
Stefan Beckmann: A “Nerdio Valued Professional” (NVP) is a recognition from Nerdio for individuals who demonstrate exceptional competence and commitment in using Nerdio products and technologies. NVPs typically have extensive experience and in-depth knowledge in implementing, managing, and optimizing Nerdio solutions based on Microsoft Azure and Azure Virtual Desktop.
The NVP status provides access to preview versions, direct interaction with the Nerdio product development team, invitations to special events, and recognition in the Nerdio community. This award not only confirms technical competence but also a commitment to continuous education and innovation in the end-user computing field.
What specific benefits does the partnership with Nerdio offer our customers?
Stefan Beckmann: Through our partnership with Nerdio, our customers can be assured that we have sufficient resources that are well-versed, trained, and certified with Nerdio. Additionally, the partnership provides us with direct access to Nerdio and regular exchanges. This keeps us informed about new developments and enables us to present the latest possibilities to our customers and support them with implementation if needed.
Can you name a specific experience or case study that illustrates how our collaboration with Nerdio has already helped better meet our customers’ needs?
Stefan Beckmann: Some feature requests we submitted for our customers have already been implemented. For instance, a customer can now combine Office and Profile Container with FSLogix or define FSLogix Redirection Configuration in Nerdio. More granular permissions within Nerdio have allowed a customer’s developers to manage user sessions and the power status of a VM, but not delete or recreate the VM.
For our customers, we regularly meet with the Technical Account Managers to discuss current challenges and consider which new and existing features can help our customers optimize operations and costs. We have just organized a demo for a customer where we showcased Unified Application Management and Unified Device Management so that the customer can assess whether these features can, for example, relieve their service desk.
“Dank der intuitiven Benutzeroberfläche sind viele unserer Kunden bereits nach kurzer Einarbeitung in der Lage, Aufgaben eigenständig zu erledigen, ohne auf Automatisierungsexperten angewiesen zu sein. Nerdio vereinfacht komplexe Prozesse und Aufgaben im Zusammenhang mit Azure Virtual Desktop und ähnlichen Ressourcen, ohne diese zu ersetzen.”
