Migrating Customers to Azure

Vladimirskiy said the firm’s growth stems from making it easier for MSPs to migrate their customers to Microsoft Azure, and their strategy is that the company wants to be known for more than desktop virtualization.

They’re expanding beyond virtual desktops and going more into holistic endpoint management, application management, security and other cloud workloads to create a unified cloud management platform for an MSP to build their entire practice on top, as well as moving beyond Azure and infrastructure to Intune, and building in identity management, security and Microsoft 365 management.

Migrating to Azure can prove complex in terms of pricing and skills, and Nerdio helps them price cloud solutions and deploy, manage and optimize those solutions in a very easy way, utilizing auto scaling and other cost optimization technologies to ensure they’re charging the right amount.

Vladimirskiy notes that Microsoft concentrates directly on large enterprise customers, whereas MSPs tend to service the SME segment.

This requires tooling that can support lots of small customers as opposed to one large one, and this is not a strength of the Microsoft suite. Nerdio is addressing this market gap, through their multi-tenant technology that gives MSPs the speed and efficiency to manage a lot of small customers in a very kind of cost effective and easy way.
