Nerdio Manager now supports Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid: one platform for every Windows cloud deployment. September 1, 2026 Nerdio Manager for Enterprise New releases Today, Nerdio announced the general availability of Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid support in Nerdio Manager for Enterprise 8.2, delivering enterprise-ready integration between Nerdio Manager and Nutanix AHV for faster image creation, provisioning, and updates. Together, Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid and Nerdio Manager give IT teams a more flexible way to deliver and manage virtual desktops across on-premises and cloud infrastructure while continuing to use the Microsoft technologies they already run. A more flexible path to Windows cloud solutions The end-user computing industry is in the middle of the Great Migration, a once-in-an-era shift as organizations move from legacy, on-premises systems toward modern, cloud-first environments. However, every organization's modernization journey looks different. Some are standardizing on Windows 365, others are expanding Azure Virtual Desktop, and many still have workloads that need to remain on premises because of application performance, data residency, existing infrastructure investments, or other business requirements. Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid gives organizations a more gradual way to modernize. Customers gain the flexibility to keep workloads where they need to be today, while building toward the Windows cloud environment that is right for their business. Nerdio Manager makes hybrid environments easier to operate by helping organizations manage Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid alongside Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop from one centralized platform. "Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid is designed to meet customers where they are, enabling modernization without requiring a complete infrastructure transformation. Nerdio's continued investment in the ecosystem helps customers deploy and manage virtual desktops at scale, making it easier for organizations to adopt Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid and prepare for future cloud migration," says Bhavya Chopra, Partner Director, Product Management, Microsoft. Simplify day-to-day hybrid desktop management Microsoft powers the Azure Virtual Desktop service and its connectivity to supported on-premises infrastructure. Nerdio Manager 8.2 adds the desktop orchestration, automation, visibility, and operational controls IT teams need to run those environments at scale. From the Nerdio Manager console, administrators can: * Create, deploy, update, and manage images for Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid session hosts running on Nutanix AHV. * Automate repeatable provisioning and image management workflows. * Monitor Windows cloud environments through one centralized management experience. * Apply consistent operational processes across on-premises and cloud deployments. * Report on utilization and cost across the organization's entire Windows cloud deployment. This unified approach helps reduce manual administration and gives IT teams greater visibility and control as their Windows cloud environments evolve. The right blend for every business Nerdio believes the future of end-user computing will include a combination of Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, hybrid infrastructure, and physical endpoints. The right mix will depend on each organization's users, applications, infrastructure, and business priorities. Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid gives customers another path to modernization, while Nerdio gives companies the management, automation, and visibility to make that journey practical. "Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid expands customer capacity with flexible deployment that brings cloud efficiency to environments requiring on-prem execution, strict compliance, data-residency control, or ultra-low-latency workloads. It delivers full feature parity with leading market solutions, ensuring a seamless and consistent workspace across hybrid scenarios. This strengthens our ability to grow Azure Virtual Desktop adoption with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise across LATAM, where many organizations still rely on on-prem architectures and need a bridge toward modern cloud-enabled EUC." -Juan Gomez, Managing Director, Virtex.

Welcome aboard, Nerdio. Jerry Honeycutt July 6, 2026 Honeycutt Inc. is thrilled to welcome Nerdio as its newest client - and even more thrilled to announce the new show Honeycutt Inc. is producing together: The Shiproom. Hosted by Christiaan Brinkhoff, The Shiproom is built for conversations that go somewhere. The good somewhere. The kind with sharp questions, seasoned guests, and just enough production polish to make the pixels sit up straight and behave. Christiaan is no stranger to its cameras. Honeycutt Inc. worked with him during his Microsoft days, when he hosted Windows in the Cloud - a show Honeycutt Inc. also produced and still remember fondly, mostly because the cloud behaved itself and no cables filed a formal complaint. For episode one, Christiaan will sit down with Mark Templeton, former President and CEO of Citrix Systems. Which feels fitting. When you're launching a show about the future of cloud, work, infrastructure, and all the strange little gears that keep modern IT humming, it helps to begin with someone who helped shape a whole era of it. Nerdio knows this world well. They live where Microsoft Cloud, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Intune, and M365 all converge - an occasionally chaotic intersection where admins deserve coffee, clarity, and fewer buttons labeled "advanced." That's its kind of neighborhood. So welcome, Nerdio. Welcome back, Christiaan. Welcome, The Shiproom. The cameras are caffeinated. The lower thirds are behaving. Let's make something bingeable.

Nerdio launches MSP 7.0 amid triple-digit Microsoft 365 growth. May. 4, 2026, 01:45 PM CHICAGO, IL, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Nerdio, the only multi-tenant management solution for Microsoft 365, Windows 365, and Azure Virtual Desktop, today announced record MSP growth alongside the launch of Nerdio Manager for MSP 7.0. In 2025, the company grew its MSP user base over 100%, spanning Microsoft 365, Windows 365, and Azure Virtual Desktop. Nerdio's impressive growth was driven by growing demand from MSPs looking to consolidate their entire Microsoft practices onto a single, scalable platform. In addition, Nerdio today introduced Nerdio Manager for MSP 7.0, making it easier for MSPs to deliver, manage, and grow their Microsoft Cloud practices across every customer, all from a single platform. "MSPs are at an inflection point. They're no longer just managing environments; they're building scalable, cloud-first businesses, and they need a platform that can grow with them across their entire Microsoft stack," said Vadim Vladimirskiy, CEO and Co-Founder, Nerdio. "Nerdio is the only solution that gives MSPs true multi-tenant management across Microsoft 365, Windows 365, and Azure Virtual Desktop from a single pane of glass. That's not just a product advantage; it's a strategic one. Our record growth tells us MSPs recognize that - and we built 7.0 to take them even further." Nerdio Manager for MSP saw Microsoft 365 users surge more than 300% year-over-year, reflecting rapid adoption as MSPs expand their Microsoft Cloud practices beyond traditional virtual desktop environments. "Our main challenge managing Microsoft 365 was that with so many tenants involved, we found that our technicians had to manually move from tenant to tenant, using a confusing mix of browsers," said Ben Estephan, President, Inhouse-Support. "By using Nerdio Manager, we were able to centralize everything under one window. [Our technicians] increased their efficiency many times over because now we're under one window and one tab, and all of our tenants are in one place." Building on its strong growth, Nerdio Manager for MSP 7.0 introduces several key features to support MSPs on their Microsoft journeys. First, it helps MSPs get their Microsoft practice up and running quickly. Then, version 7.0 turns insights into new business, standardizes deployments at scale, and secures it all with streamlined policies and compliance. The platform allows MSPs to quickly prove the value of their services to clients. Nerdio Manager for MSP 7.0's key new capabilities include: * Prospect Tenant Assessment Wizard: Scan a prospect's Microsoft 365 environment, surface security gaps and inefficiencies, and generate a client-ready assessment report. * PSA integration: Directly connect Nerdio Manager with leading MSP platforms, including Datto Autotask PSA, ConnectWise PSA, and Halo PSA. * Purview Solution Baselines: Manage Microsoft Purview policies directly in Nerdio, and apply compliance baselines across Microsoft 365 environments. * Reporting Engine: Create custom, white labelled reports across Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft 365, and Azure, covering cost, usage, performance, and compliance.
