Recent IT meltdown hit home when my kid’s weekend plans were ruined due to flight cancellation. So we had this discussion at the household as to how come this happened. Lots of questions (as usual) than answers but here is the summary - 1. How come after all these years of development & testing a single file can cause the entire OS to come crashing? 2. How come such a severe issue escaped the validation process at the product vendor end? 3. Aren’t the organisations to undertake the patch testing before production roll out at their end? How come this patch got rolled out w/o this issue getting caught by so many organizations? I am sure there are perfectly valid answers to all these (and many more) questions but it seems that keeping pace to adopt latest technology/updates/patches may not be a good strategy after all, is it? Least of it - to have your phones/apps kept on auto-updates? Whatever the answers may be, I am just so glad that I am not the one in the middle of this meltdown. I only imagine all the shit hitting fans for the CEOs, CIOs, IT teams who are to deal with the aftermath of it. #staysafe #microsoft #crowdstrike

In non-copilot related Ignite announcements https://lnkd.in/eTktWShR I’m happy to see announcements about Entra and Intune enhancements in WSL, and we’ll see how well hotpatch, public preview of Win Backup enhancements, and, ok, fine, the 5,000 copilot announcements go over the course of the next few months (maybe more “skeptically optimistic” then cautiously optimistic)

You should pick up your #GoogleCloudNext batch today (If you can)

Helping companies instill the necessary foundation for long-term success through efficient operations!

Three things happened yesterday which really opened my eyes to what an amazing journey Nerdio is on: 1. During a call with one of our major clients, I learned they are onboarding approximately 4,000 additional users to the Nerdio platform. Due to its efficiency, they chose AVD and Windows 365 as their default provisioning platform for their users The client even shared a humorous anecdote about deploying to hundreds of users while cooking his chicken dinner, highlighting the platform's simplicity and ease of use. 2. In another conversation with a new client, they praised the platform's excellence and humorously suggested that Microsoft must envy our capabilities. I clarified that Microsoft is actually one of our biggest supporters, contributing significantly to our business. Our platform's ease of deployment and management for Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and Intune is a major advantage for both companies, fostering a strong partnership. 3. The highlight of the day was Nerdio receiving and winning the prestigious Microsoft Americas Partner of the Year award. This accolade underscores our achievements and reinforces the success stories shared by our clients and working closely with Microsoft to achieve a common goal! The first 2 points was was cummilated into point number 3. The market, the product, the employees and the partner have all perfectly aligned to create something truly special. Reflecting on my three years at Nerdio, I am immensely proud of our journey and the remarkable team behind our success. I am eagerly anticipating what the future holds for us!

Obviously, when we started out (the product was named Nerdio Manager for WVD back then) there was already some interest, though nothing compared to what’s going on today. During the pandemic things accelerated quickly, and soon after Nerdio became a household name in the wondrous world of EUC, tightly associated with WVD, AVD nowadays and W365. And not without reason! Things change quickly, and so do we.   The pace of innovation, the team and leadership, including our amazing board members, our partners and customers, as well as the technology itself adding tremendous business value to companies all over the world (including MSP’s) are all a testament to that. Sure, the pandemic helped our growth, as working remotely became the norm and Microsoft did an amazing job with Windows Virtual Desktop (and they still do) but it was bound to happen anyway.   Today, we are like a T. Swift concert, people are lining up in front of our booths almost everywhere we go, and we sell out quickly, so to speak (well, if we take events like NerdioCon, for example, it’s not even that far from the truth). We are a hot ticket. Our line-up is nothing short of amazing each and every time, our audience always comes first, and we are here to entertain (read: help you) all the way, from start to finish.   Luckily, our tour continues and there isn’t an end-date in sight, at all. EUC / Community events, Training Camps, Innovation Days, MicroHack events, Partner and Customer summits, NerdioCon, you name it, the agenda is stacked.   See you soon in an arena near you!
