Azure AVD Deployment with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise

Azure AVD Deployment with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise

Trace3 and Nerdio help enterprises simplify, secure, and scale Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) deployments while accelerating broader Azure adoption. AVD is often a business-critical platform tied to application access, hybrid cloud, and compliance. Beyond knowledge worker use cases, AVD also supports advanced workloads such as high-intensity graphics applications and AI/ML scenarios requiring GPU-enabled hardware. By combining Trace3’s expertise in Enterprise-Scale Landing Zones (ESLZ) with Nerdio’s automation platform, organizations gain a resilient, secure, and cost-optimized foundation for delivering Windows desktops and applications at enterprise scale.

Our Proven Approach

We use a phased, repeatable framework aligned to Microsoft and Nerdio best practices:

• Assessment Phase – Baseline AVD access, user personas, performance, and application requirements. Evaluate security, imaging needs, and operational tooling strategy.
• Identify Phase – Define AVD Landing Zones (security, application, infrastructure, network, resiliency). Map dependencies, address tool sprawl, and design architecture improvements.
• PoC Phase – Deploy a pilot environment with Nerdio Enterprise Manager. Validate personas, images, and automation. Provide DevOps and onboarding guidance.
• Operate & Optimize – Implement auto-scaling, image lifecycle management, observability, and self-healing. Automate cost optimization, vulnerability scanning, and CI/CD pipelines.

What You Can Expect

Our team will engage to:

• Design and deploy AVD landing zones integrated with Microsoft identity, security, and governance.
• Configure Nerdio Enterprise Manager for orchestration, auto-scaling, and cost management.
• Deliver persona-driven onboarding and application mapping to improve end-user experience.
• Automate image and session host management, monitoring, and vulnerability detection.
• Provide training, documentation, and operational guidance for long-term success.

Engagement Outcomes

At the conclusion of this engagement, your organization will have:

• A secure, resilient AVD environment aligned to enterprise compliance requirements.
• Up to 75% Azure compute/storage cost reduction through schedule and event-driven scaling.
• Deployment timelines reduced from weeks to hours with automation and guided setup.
• Improved governance and security via automated policies, monitoring, and remediation.
• The ability to support advanced workloads — including high-intensity graphics applications and AI/ML use cases — by leveraging GPU-enabled session hosts.

Why Trace3? Trace3 combines hybrid-cloud expertise, security-first methodology, and strong partnerships with Microsoft and Nerdio to deliver secure, scalable, and cost-optimized virtual desktop solutions that evolve with your business needs.
