Azure Virtual Desktop
Migrate cleanly. Manage effectively.

Thinking about AVD - or already running it?
Azure Virtual Desktop is an increasingly popular alternative to legacy VDI platforms like Citrix, especially for organisations already invested in Microsoft 365 and Azure.
But success with AVD depends on more than simply standing it up. Whether you’re moving to AVD or living with it day to day, the real risks sit in design and operation, not the technology itself.
-
Making the move
The most successful AVD programmes treat migration as a redesign, not a like-for-like or ‘lift-and-shift’ exercise.
That means understanding users, applications and performance needs, removing historic complexity, and designing AVD in line with Azure best practice, all the time keeping disruption and distraction to a minimum.
-
Managing for success
Once live, AVD needs active management across cost, performance, profiles, security and scaling.
Without that focus, environments can quickly drift into over-provisioning, performance issues and unclear ownership. The big question is, do you invest in internal expertise or outsource to AVD specialists for optimal results?
Focus guaranteed.
-
Our introductory workshop is designed to help you to fully understand AVD’s features, advantages, benefits, use cases, and pre-requisites.
-
We’ll examine your preparedness to implement AVD. Using our tried-and-tested methodology, which encompasses infrastructure, security, and operational matters, we’ll unearth and quantify any gaps, issues, and risks before providing tailored recommendations to ensure a smooth and successful adoption.
-
The Azure Virtual Desktop Deployment Service will seamlessly integrate AVD into your environment, ensuring optimal performance, security, and user experience. By entrusting us with your deployment, you’ll unlock the full potential of AVD while minimising disruptions and maximising the benefits of a cloud-based virtual desktop solution.
-
Through our proven Azure Virtual Desktop Proof of Concept Service, we’ll enable you to test AVD against your specific use case(s), identifying any potential risks and challenges while showcasing its potential benefits.
As one of the UK’s leading Azure specialists, AVD is the stuff of deep domain expertise. Lean on us to help you assess, migrate to and manage your AVD platform, drawing on proven architectures, critical tooling such as Nerdio, and all the lessons learned from a wealth of delivery projects.

Moving to Azure Virtual Desktop: what a successful migration really involves.
For many organisations, the move away from Citrix isn’t driven by enthusiasm for change, but by growing pressure. Rising licensing costs, increasing complexity and a wider shift towards Microsoft 365 and Azure are prompting a reassessment of existing virtual desktop platforms. Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is an increasingly attractive option, but migrating successfully is not a simple like-for-like swap. Understanding what a good AVD migration really involves is critical to avoiding unnecessary risk and complexity.
