    Week 1: Business Week

    Hear from our experts to help build your strategy and business development. 
    Session 1: The Future of Hybrid Cloud
    16 November I 12 pm AEDT / 9 am SGT
    The complexities of managing hybrid cloud are intensified as each cloud solution has its own API, storage management protocols, networking capabilities, and more. Mastering each solution's intricacies is possible, but perhaps not sustainable.

    For that reason, professionals responsible for hybrid cloud management often construct a single interface to manage all cloud services seamlessly. Join us for a masterclass Q&A session with our top vendors to hear more about how partners are harnessing the value of hybrid cloud.

    Agenda:
    • Q&A session with vendors 
     Session 2: The Future of SPLA Session 2: The Future of SPLA
    17 November I 11 am AEDT / 8 am SGT

    Microsoft licensing is complex but is more challenging when hosting software as a service provider. If you have a SPLA agreement, many hosters ask what the program's future looks like? Is it going away? Is it staying the same? How do we compete?

    During this webinar, we will share ideas on SPLA, what we believe the future of SPLA will look like and how to overcome these licensing challenges.

    Agenda:

    • What is the future of SPLA
    • Optimise your infrastructure and streamline operations
    • Reduce licensing costs
    • Cloud Workshops to share ideas and create a licensing roadmap

    Session 3: Secure Hybrid Work: Simplifying AVD
    18 November I 12 pm AEDT / 9 am SGT
    Building a cloud practice comes down to a few key pillars: standardization, simplification, and cost control. However, many Managed Service Providers (MSPs) think the cloud is risky. They’ve always done it the traditional way and don’t feel comfortable with changing their pricing and/or billing model. Secondly, often MSPs do not know where to start. What about cost control? The cloud can be expensive if you do not know what to look out for or lack the proper tooling to guide you.

    This webinar focuses on how MSPs can build a successful cloud practice and open up new revenue opportunities using Azure Virtual Desktop (and Nerdio).

    Agenda:
    • How Azure Virtual Desktop (and Nerdio) Can Help MSPs Build a Successful Cloud Practice
    • Calculating the True Cost of Azure Virtual Desktop
    • Cloud VDI vs Cloud PC (AVD v W365)
    • Programs/incentives
     
     
    Session 4: Empowered Cloud: Cloud Migrations & Management Made Easy
    19 November I 12 pm AEDT / 9 am SGT
    Migrating to the cloud is challenging, but it has also become essential.

    With businesses worldwide rethinking their technology stack to adapt to the growing remote workforce, it begs the question of how the process can be made simpler.

    Join us as Microsoft and Nerdio discuss market trends and best-practices for cloud migrations, as well tips and tricks for MSPs to make money in Azure.

    Agenda:
    • Market trends
    • Programs/incentives available
    • The Cloud Adoption Framework

    Week 2: Technical Week

    Hear from our experts to get the most from your solutions, including new products and updates.
    Session 5: Optimising SPLA with Octopus Cloud
    23 November I 11 am AEDT / 8 am SGT
    This session will give you a technical overview of how Octopus Cloud View provides clear visibility to the entire Microsoft SPLA landscape.


    Reconciling Microsoft licensing in general requires several disparate datasets to come together and be washed against licensing rules from the SPUR (Service Provider Use Rights). These rules are input into the tool via algorithms which intelligently connect the usage data to the licensing rules and licensing costs, giving you a list of SPLA licenses to purchase which are the most appropriate and the most cost-effective for your use case.


    We will also demonstrate how our solution gathers the needed data for a cloud migration discussion or engagement. Providing an accurate overview of the infrastructure inventory, so you have clear visibility required to make well-informed migration decisions.

    24 November I 12 pm AEDT / 9 am SGT
    For those already running AVD, or wanting to know more when it comes to management, this is the session for you. Nerdio adds great value to AVD and Windows 365, but there are also many other features that you can use to help build and manage your Azure environments.

    In addition to exploring AVD in Nerdio, we’ll cover how you can use Nerdio to:
    • Add, remove, and edit Users and Groups
    • Create and manage server VMs
    • Manage your Azure networking
    • Ensure backups are available for valuable VMs and data
