Case Study: University of North Florida achieves 56% Azure cost savings and streamlined AVD endpoint management with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise (Nerdio)

Nerdio Makes the Dean’s List Powering University of North Florida’s Digital Transformation

The University of North Florida, a public university of about 17,000 students, needed to move from an on‑premises environment to the cloud but found Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) difficult to manage with a small endpoint team. To bridge functionality gaps and simplify the AVD learning curve, UNF engaged Nerdio and deployed Nerdio Manager for Enterprise alongside AVD.

Nerdio delivered automation, unified reporting dashboards, burst capacity for host pools, automatic storage autoscaling and simplified image management, giving the team “peace of mind” and faster virtual desktops for end users. With Nerdio, UNF cut Azure costs by 56% per month, dramatically reduced admin work, improved performance and user experience, and freed up staff time by making Nerdio an extension of their department.
