Nerdio facilitates distant labor throughout the Canadian wilderness for the Government of Alberta

In this particular instance analysis, Deryck Webb from the Government of Alberta (GoA) elaborates on how Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Nerdio empowered staff to connect with workspaces from various locations amidst the most secluded areas of Canada — especially crucial for those engaged in crucial services, such as wildfire supervision.

Initially dependent on on-premises Citrix and VMware solutions, GoA discovered Azure Virtual Desktop to be a more durable, cost-efficient substitute as a component of its Microsoft 365 licensing. By collaborating with Nerdio, GoA managed to simplify its Azure Virtual Desktop implementation, delivering smooth access and enhanced user interaction for more than 3,000 active users each month.

The user-friendly Nerdio platform enabled the GoA team to effectively supervise virtual machines and optimize resource distribution, constructing a secure and dependable remote labor setting, whereas Nerdio’s sophisticated analytics and Auto-scaling attributes permitted the institution to economize up to CAD $36,000 per month on AVD storage.
