Kerv partners with Nerdio to strengthen Azure Virtual Desktop proposition

Published 17/03/26 under:

Nerdio is a leading platform for Microsoft Cloud Management, and we’re excited to share that Kerv is now an official Nerdio partner.

By partnering with Nerdio, our goal is to make our Azure Virtual Desktop service even stronger. As a Microsoft partner that holds the Azure Virtual Desktop specialisation, we’re committed to delivering AVD in a way that’s secure, well-managed, and genuinely easier for IT teams to run day-to-day.

Why Nerdio?

At Kerv, we’re solution-agnostic. We design AVD and wider virtual desktop solutions based on what the customer actually needs, and we’ll use supporting technologies like Nerdio where they add real value.

That matters because not every organisation needs the same operating model:

For some SMEs, a well-designed AVD environment with the right ongoing support is the best answer.

For more mature organisations, or anyone running AVD at scale, Nerdio can be a great fit. It adds an automation and management layer on top of AVD, giving IT teams a more centralised way to manage things like scaling, images, monitoring, and day-to-day operations.

In practical terms, Nerdio can help with:

• Intelligent auto-scaling to match demand and reduce unnecessary spend
• Image management and version control, making updates more repeatable and controlled
• Built-in monitoring and dashboards to improve visibility across the environment
• Automation and delegated administration, reducing manual overhead for IT teams

Building on success in regulated sectors

We’ve already had strong success delivering AVD in regulated environments, particularly in legal, and we’re now looking to grow further across industries such as financial services and local government.

This partnership gives us another way to help customers who want more automation, stronger cost control, and a more structured operating model for AVD.
