Portfolio

Expedient Cloud, DRaaS & Colocation Services

A purpose-built VMware platform, a top-three DRaaS practice, hyperscaler managed services, and an emerging AI control plane — all delivered out of an interconnected national data center footprint.

Expedient Enterprise Cloud (VMware-Powered)

Purpose-built on the VMware SDDC stack so existing virtualized workloads migrate with no refactoring or operational retraining. All-flash storage, high-frequency CPUs, hardware-level redundancy, two-factor authentication, and data-at-rest encryption — fully managed by Expedient. REST API and CLI integrate with Terraform, Ansible, and existing application lifecycle tooling.

Expedient Private Cloud (VMware or Nutanix)

Private cloud with a choice of VMware or Nutanix as the foundational stack, on dedicated or shared hardware. Designed for organizations that want cloud economics for virtualized workloads while keeping the technology stack their internal teams already know — without the refactoring tax of moving mission-critical applications to a hyperscaler.

Push Button DRaaS (Zerto · VCDA · Cohesity)

Tiered Disaster Recovery as a Service in dedicated and shared ("On Demand") configurations, with included network failover, post-launch testing, and consumption-based licensing. Replication via Zerto, VMware Cloud Director Availability, and Cohesity. Recognized as a top-three DRaaS provider worldwide and Cohesity's Service Provider Partner of the Year.

Colocation Across 11 U.S. Data Centers

An interconnected national footprint with facilities in Boston, Baltimore (Owings Mills), Cleveland (two sites), Columbus, Dublin (OH), Indianapolis, Memphis, Milwaukee, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh — with 24×7×365 on-site support, redundant power and cooling, and low-latency on-ramps to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for hybrid architectures.

Hyperscale Cloud Management & Storage

Managed services for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — including Hyperscale CTRL governance, Hyperscale Security, and Hyperscale Professional Services for migration and ongoing optimization. Expedient Cloud Storage and S3-compatible object storage support primary, archival, and immutable workloads on Expedient infrastructure.

Expedient AI CTRL Platform

A managed platform for enterprise AI workloads with governance, observability, and a co-brandable agent layer. Includes the AI Data Connector for enterprise data sources, an Agentic Workflow Engine, and embedded AI security — designed for organizations adopting generative AI without exposing customer data to public LLM training.

Expedient Enterprise Workspace (VDI)

Scalable, highly available virtual desktop infrastructure delivered as a service — enabling distributed workforces to access secure desktops from anywhere with full Expedient managed-services support behind the platform. Suited for regulated workforces, contact centers, and BYOD-heavy environments.

Managed Security & Micro-Segmentation

Best-of-breed security woven across the Expedient portfolio — micro-segmentation, encryption at rest, multi-factor authentication, ransomware-readiness assessments for energy and financial verticals, and AI-driven security tooling integrated into the AI CTRL platform.

Ideal For

VMware-Heavy & Regulated Enterprises

Data-Center Exit Programs

Organizations consolidating regional data centers or exiting owned facilities — Expedient's eleven-site footprint and managed VMware platform provide a single landing zone without forcing a hyperscaler refactor.

Healthcare Systems

HIPAA support, SOC 2 + HITRUST attestation, and DRaaS purpose-built for clinical-application criticality make Expedient a credible target for hospital systems and healthcare payers running EHR and revenue-cycle workloads.

Financial Services

PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance, SOC 1/2 reporting, and resilient DRaaS tiers serve banks, insurers, and trading platforms whose regulators expect clear evidence of recovery readiness and segregation controls.

Broadcom/VMware Pressure

Enterprises facing post-Broadcom VMware licensing increases use Expedient as a path off owned VMware infrastructure that preserves operating models and tooling — without rebuilding applications for a hyperscaler.

Why Expedient

Where Expedient Stands Out

A handful of structural advantages that make Expedient the obvious shortlist candidate for a specific class of cloud and DRaaS deployments.

99% Client Retention Rate

Expedient publishes a 99% client retention figure backed by tenured leadership and a white-glove managed-services posture. The retention number reflects how rarely customers leave once on-platform — a leading indicator of operational quality for organizations evaluating a multi-year cloud commitment.

VMware Pinnacle Partner

Expedient holds VMware's Pinnacle service-provider tier and was named Cloud Partner of the Year in VMware's Americas region. For organizations facing Broadcom/VMware licensing pressure, that relationship matters: Expedient operates one of the most credible VMware-based escape paths from on-premises licensing.

Top-3 DRaaS Provider Worldwide

Independent industry recognition places Expedient among the world's top three DRaaS providers, with multiple Cohesity Service Provider Partner of the Year awards. DRaaS is operated as a core practice — not a feature attached to compute — giving regulated and high-availability customers a credible primary recovery target.

Hyperscaler Connectivity Built In

Every Expedient data center has low-latency on-ramps to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, so hybrid architectures can run latency-sensitive components on Expedient infrastructure while reaching hyperscaler-native services where they make economic sense — without re-architecting the WAN.

Compliance

Attestations Across the Cloud & Colocation Footprint

Expedient maintains the certifications and attestations regulated industries depend on when sourcing infrastructure partners.

HIPAA

Expedient cloud and colocation environments support HIPAA-regulated workloads — Business Associate Agreements available — making the platform suitable for hospital systems, payers, and life-sciences organizations.

PCI DSS

Expedient holds a PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance covering its cloud and colocation infrastructure, supporting card-data environments for retail, payments, and financial services customers.

SOC 1 & SOC 2

Expedient maintains SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports across its services — providing third-party assurance over the security, availability, and operational controls of the cloud and colocation platforms.

SOC 2 + HITRUST

For healthcare deployments specifically, Expedient maintains a SOC 2 + HITRUST attestation — aligning the platform with the controls framework that hospital systems and health plans typically require from their cloud and colocation partners.

GDPR (EU-U.S.)

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield attestation supports cross-border data handling for organizations with European customer or employee data on Expedient infrastructure.

CSA STAR

CSA STAR registration provides public, third-party validation of Expedient's cloud security practices — a useful benchmark for organizations evaluating CSPs against industry-standard security frameworks.
