Microsoft Virtual Desktop
Enhance Your Team's Productivity and Security with Microsoft AVD
Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a cloud-based desktop and application virtualization service that allows organizations to securely deliver Windows desktops and apps to any device, anywhere. It’s ideal for businesses embracing hybrid work, remote teams, or needing centralized control over user environments. However, managing AVD at scale—especially across multiple clients or departments—can be complex and time-consuming without the right tools.
ShowTech Solutions has partnered with Nerdio to help simplify and automates the deployment, management, and optimization of AVD environments. It provides a centralized interface for provisioning virtual machines, managing user sessions, scaling resources, and applying security policies—all without needing deep Azure expertise. For MSPs like ShowTech, Nerdio enables efficient multi-tenant management, allowing us to deliver high-performance virtual desktops with reduced overhead and faster response times.
With Nerdio, we can also implement auto-scaling, monitor performance in real time. This means our clients benefit from a secure, cost-optimized, and fully managed virtual desktop experience—backed by 24×7 support and proactive oversight. Whether you’re in healthcare, finance, or government, Nerdio-managed AVD ensures your workforce stays productive and protected.

Keep your team secure by leveraging cloud technologies by Microsoft.
AVD dynamically increases and decreases resources as your business needs change.
Smart Cost Optimization: Automatically powers down unused session hosts and scales up only when needed—saving significantly on Azure compute costs.
Dynamic Host Pool Scaling: Adjusts the number of active VMs based on real-time user demand or scheduled business hours, ensuring performance without overprovisioning.
Customizable Schedules & Naming: Supports separate scaling rules for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, with flexible VM naming conventions for easier management.
With AVD, your environment is stored in Microsoft's cloud under your office 365 Tenant.
- Access from Anywhere, on Any Device: AVD enables secure access to desktops and apps from virtually any device—PCs, tablets, or smartphones—supporting remote and hybrid workforces without compromising productivity.
- Cost Efficiency & Scalability: Unlike traditional desktops that require upfront hardware investment, AVD scales on demand and reduces costs by only using resources when needed.
- Enhanced Security & Compliance: Data stays in the cloud, not on local devices, reducing the risk of data loss or theft. AVD also supports compliance with industry regulations through centralized control and built-in security features.
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a flexible solution for hybrid work environments
- Access from Anywhere: AVD enables employees to securely access their desktops and applications from virtually any device and location, supporting seamless transitions between home, office, and travel.
- Scalable to Any Use Case: Whether for full-time remote workers, part-time office staff, or temporary contractors, AVD adapts to various hybrid work scenarios with ease.
- Centralized Management & Security: IT teams can manage users, apps, and policies from a single interface while keeping data secure in the cloud—reducing the risk of local device breaches.
Unlike traditional Terminal Servers, AVD is optimized for Teams and Zoom Calls
- Optimized Media Redirection: AVD supports media optimization for Teams, redirecting audio and video streams to the local device. This reduces latency and improves call quality—something standard RDP setups typically lack.
- Better Performance with New Teams: AVD supports the new Microsoft Teams client with enhanced performance, reliability, and security. It uses SlimCore or WebRTC Redirector Service to ensure smooth video and audio experiences.
- Cross-Platform Support: AVD enables Teams calling and meetings on Windows and macOS through supported Remote Desktop clients, offering flexibility for hybrid and remote teams.
With AVD, your users get their own Windows 11 Session.
- Multi-Session Windows 11 Support: AVD supports multi-user Windows 11 Enterprise environments, offering a true desktop experience for multiple users on a single VM—something RDP (via Windows Server) cannot natively provide.
- Integrated Security & Compliance: With built-in identity management, encryption, and Microsoft Defender integration, AVD offers enterprise-grade security out of the box. RDP security depends heavily on how well the on-prem infrastructure is configured and maintained.
- Simplified Management & Updates: Microsoft handles infrastructure maintenance, updates, and backups in AVD, reducing the burden on internal IT teams. In contrast, RDP environments require manual server management and patching.
