Case Study: Naylor Association Solutions achieves 33–50% faster Azure Virtual Desktop deployments and significant Azure cost savings with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise

How a Global Association Organization Saved 50% on Azure Virtual Desktop Deployment Time Compared to Using the Azure Portal to Deploy AVD

Naylor Association Solutions, a global provider of association services, needed to rapidly move from primarily on-premises systems to a more secure, centralized cloud VDI environment after a 2020 security concern. The IT team wanted an easier, more manageable alternative to Microsoft’s native tools for Azure Virtual Desktop, so they evaluated and selected Nerdio and its Nerdio Manager for Enterprise.

Nerdio deployed Nerdio Manager for Enterprise for day-to-day management and monitoring of Naylor’s AVD environment, using features like Desktop Auto-Scaling, Ephemeral OS Disks, and the Cost Estimator to cut Azure spend and streamline operations. Nerdio helped Naylor reduce deployment time by roughly 33–50% (including a noted 50% faster AVD deployment versus the Azure Portal), improve security through simpler account management, and lower monthly Azure costs.
