Overview

With expertise in Azure and Microsoft 365, the company focuses on optimizing cloud environments through automation, cost efficiency, and scalable solutions.

As demand for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) surged, Cubesys sought a way to simplify deployments, automate workflows, and reduce cloud costs for its clients. That’s where Nerdio came in.

Microsoft kept telling me, ‘You should talk to these guys at Nerdio.’ After one meeting, I told my business partner, ‘Let’s stop what we’re doing. We’re going to use these guys.’”

Paul Heaton,

CEO, Cubesys

Through Nerdio, Cubesys was able to transform its AVD services, making them more efficient, cost-effective, and scalable. Over the past five years, 95% of Cubesys’ AVD projects have leveraged Nerdio, streamlining operations and enhancing value for clients.

Seamless migrations & cost control

One of the biggest wins for Cubesys came when Uniting Age Well, an Australian aged care provider, faced a critical Citrix failure. Their aging infrastructure was causing massive disruptions, and they needed a quick fix. With no prior AVD setup, Cubesys used Nerdio’s automation tools to deploy a fully functional AVD environment for 4,000 users in just two weeks.

“We built AVD alongside their existing Citrix system, allowing for a seamless transition. Users simply clicked a different icon, and everything worked,” said Heaton.

By leveraging Nerdio’s cost optimization features, Cubesys was also able to help clients avoid long-term licensing commitments while ensuring predictable monthly expenses. Nerdio’s consumption-based pricing model allowed businesses to scale up or down as needed, a crucial advantage during uncertain times.

Automation drives profitability

By incorporating Nerdio into its workflows, Cubesys has made AVD one of its most profitable managed services. Nerdio’s automated provisioning, cost controls, and centralized management tools allow the Cubesys team to spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time delivering value to clients.

“Our approach is to automate everything, and Nerdio helps us do that at scale. We’ve significantly reduced the manual workload of managing AVD environments, allowing us to allocate resources to higher-value tasks,” said Heaton.

The future of IT with Nerdio & AI

Looking ahead, Cubesys is working closely with Nerdio to explore AI-driven IT automation, focusing on predictive security insights and automated troubleshooting. With scalability, automation, and cost control at its core, Nerdio continues to be an essential partner in Cubesys’ mission to deliver cutting-edge cloud solutions.

“With Nerdio, we’re not just optimizing IT—we’re transforming it.”
