Nerdio announced a new full integration
with Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) that will allow all physical devices and
virtual desktops to be managed via Nerdio Manager for MSP.
Nerdio Manager adds value on top of the powerful capabilities in Azure
Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. It is an Azure management platform that allows
admins to seamlessly provision and manage deployments of both Azure Virtual
Desktop and Windows 365 side by side.
The initial integration with MEM has commenced. When complete, it will allow
service providers to do the following actions in Nerdio Manager for MSP:
- Leverage Nerdio Manager to
manage all endpoints centrally, including those in Azure Virtual Desktop
or Windows 365 as well as physical desktops and mobile devices.
- Install and manage all types
of applications on physical and virtual desktops.
- Apply policies and baselines
to ensure endpoint compliance.
- Leverage endpoint analytics
to monitor and improve performance and user experience.
- Provide remote assistance to
users with remote help capabilities.
"Through this new integration, Nerdio Manager is evolving to enable
organizations to more easily adopt cloud-first technologies while consolidating
and modernizing endpoint management," said Vadim Vladimirskiy, CEO and
co-founder, Nerdio. "Being able to manage physical devices alongside virtual
desktops via the same platform will help managed service providers better serve
the needs of the businesses and workers they support."
The announcement was delivered during Vladimirskiy's opening keynote
presentation at NerdioCon 2022, the company's annual user and industry
conference, where he also shared Nerdio has reached two million users under
management across its product portfolio.
"We continue to be impressed by Nerdio's grasp on evolving IT needs and the
future of virtual desktop, application and endpoint management," said
Scott Manchester, Director of Program Management for Windows 365, Microsoft.
"We look forward to how this new integration will benefit managed service
providers and help them progress in their cloud journeys."
Nerdio additionally detailed plans for the 2022 Nerdio Manager for MSP
product roadmap. Updates and features expected this spring include full support
for new Windows 365 Business API, the ability to manage already installed apps
on multi-session AVD desktops leveraging FSLogix App Masking technology, and
updates to their free Cost
Estimator tool to reflect Microsoft's New Commerce Experience changes
effective in March.
The company will also launch several training and resource initiatives to
support MSP partners in accelerating their Azure practices. This includes
facilitating partner-to-partner engagement by vetting and certifying MSPs and
freelance IT talent available to help other partners with tasks that require
specialized skillsets with Azure and Nerdio technology or third-party products.
