CloudJumper today announced a strategic partnership with Crayon, a leading global IT advisory firm in digital transformation services.
CloudJumper’s partnership with Crayon combines the power of CloudJumper’s Cloud Workspace Management Suite (CWMS) for VDI and RDS workloads with the expertise of Crayon’s managed services and independent cloud economics consulting practice.
CloudJumper and Crayon’s partnership bring new possibilities for customers and MSPs who want the flexibility of choice for management, security options and the ability to build their own value-add services suite leveraging Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). Microsoft’s Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) brings new choices for customers who want more control of the managed services running on top of desktop and application virtualization solutions. Legacy VDI providers have historically served as a gatekeepers controlling the workstation management plane.
The utility of Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is exponentially enhanced through CloudJumper’s Cloud Workspace Management Suite (CWMS). CWMS is an automation, orchestration workflow and policy solution to deploy, configure and manage WVD in real-time and at cloud scale. CWMS will instantly, and continually, optimize the customer’s Azure investment.
WVD is a complex collection of Azure services. CloudJumper simply funnels the hundreds of WVD setup options into a few key questions and then orchestrates and deploys a customized environment. With CloudJumper, the customer is just minutes away from deploying thousands of new WVD VMs, something that is not availale in a native Azure user interface (UI).
To provide additional support for this distribution partnership, CloudJumper’s product development team has been working closely with Microsoft’s WVD product team for over two years. CloudJumper is recognized as a Microsoft Preferred Solution Provider for WVD.
Microsoft Azure WVD provides customers with unique licensing options and operating system flexibility for Windows 10 and Windows 7 desktop virtualization. Windows 7 desktops can now be migrated to Azure WVD and receive up to 3 years extended security updates at no additional costs. New Windows 10 multi-session OS options are only offered in Azure. These OS choices along with the many complementary Azure PaaS management and security offerings can be securely delivered directly into the Azure tenant. Native Azure Management, supported by CWMS, means no redirection and no 3rd party vendor lock-in. This allows customers to leverage current Microsoft licensing instead of buying overlapping 3rd party tools.
The partnership with Crayon combines the unique strengths and expertise of CloudJumper and Crayon to deliver the next generation of cloud DaaS and WaaS VDI and RDS desktop and application virtualizataion solutions.
