We’re thrilled to announce the launch of The Smart Scaler News — your go-to source for updates, tips, and insights about Azure Virtual Desktop optimisation.

What is The Smart Scaler?

The Smart Scaler is an intelligent scaling and cost optimisation platform built specifically for organisations running Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). Our mission is simple: help you reduce your AVD infrastructure costs by up to 40% without sacrificing user experience.

The Problem We’re Solving

If you’re managing an AVD environment, you’ve likely faced this challenge: balancing cost efficiency with user experience. Over-provisioning means wasted spend on idle resources. Under-provisioning leads to frustrated users waiting for sessions.

Manual scaling is time-consuming and error-prone. You might remember to scale down for the weekend, but what about:

  • Bank holidays?
  • Company shutdown periods?
  • Unexpected usage patterns?
  • Regional differences across your organisation?

How The Smart Scaler Helps

Our platform connects to your Azure environment and automatically handles scaling decisions based on:

  1. Usage Patterns — We learn when your users are active and predict demand accordingly (coming soon)
  2. Holiday Awareness — Built-in knowledge of public holidays worldwide, plus custom dates
  3. Custom Rules — Set minimum capacities, blackout windows, and business-specific logic
  4. Real-time Adaptation — Respond to unexpected demand changes automatically (coming soon)

What to Expect from This Blog

This news site will be your hub for:

  • Product announcements — New features and improvements
  • Best practices — Tips for optimising your AVD environment
  • Industry insights — Trends in cloud cost management
  • Customer stories — How organisations are saving with The Smart Scaler
