Join Us for an Exclusive Executive Dinner & Discussion
Hybrid AVD: The End of EUC Complexity?
Wednesday, 17th June | 18:30 CET | Frankfurt
The Ortus Club and Nerdio invite senior IT and infrastructure leaders in Frankfurt to an evening of candid conversation, excellent food, and genuine peer exchange. This is a closed-door, off-the-record roundtable — no presentations, no sales pitches, just meaningful dialogue between people navigating the same challenges.
The Topic
Hybrid AVD: The End of EUC Complexity?
Hybrid work has put IT leaders across DACH under sustained pressure to deliver end-user computing that is seamless, secure, and cost-efficient — all at the same time. Legacy environments were never designed for this, and the gap between what the business expects and what IT can realistically deliver has never been wider.
Hybrid Azure Virtual Desktop is emerging as a compelling answer. By blending on-premises control with cloud scalability, it offers organisations a path to supporting distributed workforces without sacrificing performance, compliance, or budget discipline. But the architecture decisions are real, the trade-offs are significant, and the operational complexity doesn't disappear overnight.
The question facing IT leaders now isn't whether hybrid AVD is the right direction — it's how to make it work in practice, at scale, in organisations that can't afford to get it wrong.
Discussion questions will include:
Where is the right balance between on-premises infrastructure and cloud-based AVD?
What is actually working to optimise costs and security in hybrid EUC environments?
Can automation and modern management tools finally make scalability simple?
