Sustainable VDI
Transform your workspace with Sustainable VDI
Optimise your virtual desktop environment with a cost-efficient, scalable, and eco-friendly solution
A smarter way to work
With the dramatic increase in Citrix licensing renewals, many businesses are frustrated by rising costs and the heavy maintenance demands that require specialised engineers.
Sustainable VDI is the perfect alternative to Citrix, helping you reduce complexity, lower costs, and scale your virtual desktop environment with ease. The Hybrid Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) setup allows for full cloud endpoint management and can even remove the need for VPNs.
Many customers may already be running AVD but are limited in growing its use due to budget constraints driven by high running costs. Sustainable VDI is the solution to significantly reduce Azure consumption and power costs. Leveraging Microsoft’s sustainability goals alongside advanced auto-scaling, it helps you achieve a minimal consumption footprint while maximising cost savings.
Designed to provide a virtual Windows desktop and application solution native to the Microsoft Azure platform in Azure Virtual Desktop, Sustainable VDI complements the control plane delivered through our partners in Nerdio. The control plane enhances AVD’s automation and management capabilities with powerful tools and usage cost dashboards.
Achieve an Eco-Friendly, Scalable, and Cost-Effective Virtual Desktop Experience
Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Nerdio Manager for Enterprise are both pay-per-use products, allowing customers to run VDI in a significantly cost-optimised manner. Tailored for organisations aiming to align their IT infrastructure with sustainability goals, this solution enhances productivity, security, and operational efficiency.
Nerdio Manager for Enterprise serves as a true Control Plane tool for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), offering a single pane of management to automate and simplify tasks such as installations, scaling, disaster recovery, and auto-scaling, ensuring seamless operations.
A true pay-per-use VDI solution
With AVD, you only pay for what you use, as costs are based on the resources being consumed. Nerdio’s smart auto-scaling adjusts these resources to match demand, while the service is licensed on a per-user, monthly basis. As your usage grows or shrinks, both Azure and Nerdio costs automatically adjust.
Cost Efficiency
By reducing many manual operational tasks through automation, Sustainable VDI lowers operational and consumption costs. An exciting upcoming release from Nerdio will add an Operational Cost Savings dashboard!
Sustainability
The solution significantly reduces the Azure resource usage with true scale-down during off-peak hours, burst scalability and power management features. Built-in metrics monitor the environmental impact and savings achieved, while leveraging Microsoft’s sustainability goals in their Azure data centres.
