Why This Matters
The market for cloud-based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is undergoing a seismic shift. Gartner data shows that 76 million on-premises users worldwide have yet to modernize, while only 16 million have moved to the cloud—presenting an unmatched opportunity for digital transformation. Organisations are facing rising costs, operational complexity, and increasing pressure to modernise their end-user computing environments. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365, powered by Nerdio, are at the forefront of this revolution—offering flexibility, security, and cost control.
