“The advent of WVD and the partnership with a respected industry leader like Crayon extends the reach of our combined solutions globally,” said JD Helms, president of CloudJumper. “The wealth of expertise from both companies will support organizations making this important move to improve productivity and operational efficiency.”
We are pleased to combine CloudJumper’s advanced platform with Crayon’s unique SAM to Cloud Consultancy Services as companies take the next step in digital transformation with their move to Windows Virtual Desktop,” said Alex Picchietti, Global Director of Cloud Services for Crayon. “Crayon’s deep experience in all aspects of the digitalization journey helps ensure the success of the new partnership. Crayon has been the preeminent IT infrastructure consulting business in the Nordic region for more than 12 years, and has expanded its footprint in the US in the last two years. Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, Crayon is in over 35 countries, providing more than 8,000 customers with strategic advice, consulting and managed services, and support with complex IT estates. 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 virtualization solutions. This allows customers to leverage current Microsoft licensing instead of buying overlapping 3 rd party tools.
Native Azure Management, supported by CWMS, means no redirection and no 3 rd party vendor lock-in. These OS choices along with the many complementary Azure PaaS management and security offerings can be securely delivered directly into the Azure tenant.
New Windows 10 multi-session OS options are only offered in Azure.
Windows 7 desktops can now be migrated to Azure WVD and receive up to 3 years extended security updates at no additional costs.
Microsoft Azure WVD provides customers with unique licensing options and operating system flexibility for Windows 10 and Windows 7 desktop virtualization. As a result, CloudJumper is proud to be recognized as a Microsoft Preferred Solution Provider for WVD. 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. 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). CloudJumper simply funnels the hundreds of WVD setup options into a few key questions and then orchestrates and deploys a customized environment. WVD is a complex collection of Azure services. CWMS will instantly, and continually, optimize the customer’s Azure investment.
CWMS is an automation, orchestration workflow and policy solution to deploy, configure and manage WVD in real-time and at cloud scale. The utility of Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is exponentially enhanced through CloudJumper's Cloud Workspace Management Suite (CWMS). CloudJumper brings to Azure WVD what the legacy vendors will not – the flexibility of controlling managed services on top of managed desktops. Legacy VDI providers have historically served as a gatekeepers controlling the workstation management plane. 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. 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.ĬloudJumper 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 WVD.
