Throughout this article I will be focusing on virtual machines and data as part of your Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) environment, combined with the Nerdio Manager for WVD deployment – from an architectural point of view. This data may be stored on your VMs, in the form of user profiles, departmental and personal user data.

On September 16th 2020 we officially kicked-off the Nerdio Tech Insider program. Thank you all very much for attending (over two third of all who RSVP’d actually attended!), we think it was a great success! Below you’ll find the slide-deck I used, downloadable in PDF format and in separate image format as well. Unfortunately, the sound quality of the recording wasn’t acceptable, something we will have fixed for upcoming events.

Continue ReadingA big step forward for Windows Virtual Desktop printing. Part two
A couple of months ago, in June I wrote about some of the benefits that Tricerat brings to the table when printing from remote, or Cloud-based virtual environments, which, of course, applies to WVD as well. Now that Windows Virtual Desktop has gone GA I thought I’d talk a bit more on how this works from a technical point of view.
Continue ReadingWindows Virtual Desktop features announced at Ignite, cheat sheet
During Microsoft Ignite 2019, last week in Orlando, Florida the Windows Virtual Desktop was a hot topic. A ton of announcements were made, almost too much to get a grip on. This weekend I took some time to sort them all out and dig in a bit deeper. The result, a cheat sheet holding all major, minor and community WVD announcements, straight from Ignite (including some personal thoughts) on a single A4 page (barley). And I can tell you, it’s much more than you think or have seen previously.

Last month I (virtually) sat down with Andrew Parlette, CTO of Tricerat. We’ve been in contact before and I was wondering if they have anything special up their sleeve regarding the upcoming Windows Virtual Desktop release.

On June the 19th (2019) I delivered a presentation on the Windows Virtual Desktop for a company named SBC-Solutions, fitting, right? I had around 75 minutes to deliver including questions and discussion. It all turned out very nicely, my session was well received with tons of interaction from the audience. Below are the slides I used. They are in Dutch, though I’m sure most of it will make sense.
