Kerv is proud to announce that it has achieved the Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Specialisation, a recognition that confirms its expertise in delivering secure, scalable, and efficient virtual desktop solutions through Microsoft Azure.
This milestone demonstrates Kerv’s ability to support businesses as they adapt to the evolving landscape of remote and hybrid working, particularly in the Channel Islands, where businesses require robust and compliant IT solutions.
The Azure Virtual Desktop Specialisation is awarded to Microsoft partners who demonstrate exceptional competency in designing, implementing, and managing virtual desktop infrastructures on Azure. This recognition reflects a partner’s ability to deliver seamless, secure, and effective solutions that meet modern business needs while adhering to Microsoft’s rigorous standards.
“Being able to highlight competency in designing, delivering, and managing solutions in Azure is critical in this fast-paced market,” said David Keiller, Microsoft Azure Business Manager at TD Synnex. “In achieving their specialisation in Azure Virtual Desktop, Kerv is at the highest level within the Microsoft CSP channel as a trusted and professional partner for VDI needs.”
A Trusted Partner for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
One of the key challenges for businesses in the Channel Islands is ensuring that employees can work securely from anywhere while maintaining compliance with industry regulations.
Kerv’s Azure Virtual Desktop expertise helps organisations overcome these challenges by offering:
Centralised IT management: IT teams can efficiently manage desktops, applications, and data from a centralised cloud environment, reducing complexity and improving control.
- Enhanced user experience: Employees can access corporate resources from any device with a consistent, high-performance experience.
- Business continuity & disaster recovery: AVD provides built-in redundancy and backup solutions, ensuring seamless business operations.
For organisations looking to modernise their IT infrastructure, working with a trusted Microsoft partner like Kerv ensures a smooth transition to cloud-based solutions while maintaining security and compliance.
Benefits for Channel Islands Businesses
The region is home to an array of businesses across finance, legal, and wider professional services, who require highly secure, compliant, and efficient IT environments. As hybrid and remote working become standard, businesses must modernise their IT infrastructures while ensuring regulatory compliance, data security, and operational efficiency.
With this specialisation, Kerv is uniquely positioned to support Channel Islands businesses, offering:
- Enhanced security & compliance: Many businesses operate under strict data protection regulations, and AVD provides a highly secure environment with built-in compliance measures.
- Integration with Microsoft 365: Businesses already heavily rely on Microsoft 365. Kerv ensures that AVD integrates smoothly, enabling teams to work efficiently from any location.
- Cost-efficient IT operations: Many Channel Islands organisations manage large amounts of sensitive data and require robust computing power. AVD enables firms to scale their IT resources dynamically while reducing on-premise infrastructure costs.
- Expert support: Kerv’s investment in the Channel Islands means businesses can access trusted expertise, ensuring smooth deployments and ongoing management.
Kerv has built a strong presence in the Channel Islands, working closely with businesses to provide tailored cloud, modern workplace, and cyber security solutions. This latest achievement reinforces Kerv’s long-term commitment to the region, ensuring that local firms benefit from Microsoft innovations backed by specialist expertise.
Kerv has successfully supported firms in the region, helping them transition to cloud-based environments that enhance productivity, security, and compliance. A great example of this is Jersey-based fund and fiduciary business Belasko, who have partnered with Kerv for many years to transform their IT infrastructure.

Dinah Lukasheh, Channel Islands Lead at Kerv, commented: “We are incredibly excited to bring this expertise to the Channel Islands. Organisations here require secure, high-performance IT solutions that support flexible working while ensuring compliance.

Looking for AVD support
Kerv is already helping organisations across Guernsey, Jersey, and beyond modernise their IT operations. With this specialisation, it is now even better equipped to support businesses in their digital transformation.
For businesses in the Channel Islands looking to explore the benefits of Azure Virtual Desktop, Kerv provides tailored consultations, expert guidance, and end-to-end support, ensuring a seamless transition to the cloud. To further help businesses optimise their virtual desktop environments, Kerv offers AVD Workshops and Virtual Desktop Health Checks, covering both Azure Virtual Desktop and Citrix.
The AVD Workshop is designed to help organisations understand how AVD can enhance their IT infrastructure, improve security, and support hybrid working. It provides hands-on demonstrations, best practices, and tailored insights on deployment, management, and cost optimisation.
Meanwhile, the Virtual Desktop Health Check assesses existing AVD and/or Citrix environments to identify performance issues, security gaps, and potential cost savings, ensuring businesses maximise efficiency and user experience.
