Case Study: Trustack achieves simplified Azure Virtual Desktop management and reduced costs with Nerdio

Trustack - Customer Case Study

Trustack, a security‑focused managed services provider supporting about 150 clients, was struggling with the cost and complexity of legacy on‑prem VDI—six‑figure infrastructure investments plus large annual update and maintenance bills—while needing to maintain high security for a mixed on‑prem and cloud customer base. To simplify Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) management and reduce total cost of ownership, Trustack partnered with Nerdio and adopted Nerdio’s management platform for AVD.

Nerdio implemented its AVD management solution (Nerdio Manager for Enterprise) to provide auto‑scaling, image management, automated patching/remediation, and usage analytics, drastically simplifying administration and cutting operational overhead. The Nerdio deployment reduced TCO over a five‑year horizon, produced measurable cost savings (Nerdio cites up to 80% lower Azure compute and storage costs via automation), freed staff from tedious upgrade work, and enabled Trustack to scale its business—shipping two to three times as many projects and shifting from a five‑year CapEx model to a recurring OpEx revenue stream.
