  • A licensing breakdown that clarifies what clients will actually pay on AVD
  • Step-by-step migration best practices tailored for MSP workflows
  • How to position the switch as a service upgrade that grows your margins
  • Real-world deployment insights from MSPs who have already made the move

Everything an MSP needs to plan and execute a smooth migration from RDS to Azure Virtual Desktop.

  • Step-by-step migration framework: A practical checklist built around MSP workflows and client onboarding

  • Common migration mistakes: What goes wrong most often, and how to avoid the same pitfalls

  • How Nerdio simplifies AVD deployment: Automating the complexity so your team spends less time on setup

MSPs using Nerdio are seeing real results

  • Up to 95%

    Improvement in operational efficiency after adopting Nerdio

I wouldn't deploy Azure Virtual Desktop without Nerdio. There are too many moving parts, too many places in Azure where things can change.
