Expedient — turnkey multi-cloud DR with recovery you can put an SLA on.

Expedient runs multi-cloud and DRaaS from roughly 11 data centers across the US Midwest and East, on a VMware-heavy Expedient Cloud, with strong RTO/RPO guarantees. When ransomware reaches the backups too, "we'll get to it eventually" isn't an answer — Expedient's pitch is contractual recovery objectives, so the time-to-restore is something you negotiated up front, not something you discover during the incident.

What Expedient actually does.

Expedient delivers multi-cloud infrastructure and DRaaS from roughly 11 US data centers concentrated in the Midwest and East, built on a VMware-heavy Expedient Cloud. The differentiator is the SLA posture: strong, guaranteed RTO and RPO objectives, so recovery time and data-loss windows are contractual rather than aspirational. For mid-market and larger teams that want turnkey recovery with guarantees they can show an auditor or a board, that's the value — recovery you negotiated, not recovery you're hoping for.

Capabilities · A short list

DRaaS Turnkey disaster recovery as a service — managed replication and failover from Expedient's cloud.
Multi-cloud infrastructure Multi-cloud compute and platform services beyond DR, for organizations consolidating cloud spend.
SLA-backed RTO/RPO Strong, guaranteed recovery objectives — contractual recovery time and data-loss windows.
VMware-heavy Expedient Cloud Built around VMware, a fit for the many enterprises whose estates already run on it.
~11 US data centers Midwest and East US footprint — relevant for domestic placement and regional proximity.

Who this fits.

Best Fit

Mid-market+ wanting turnkey SLA-backed DRaaS

You want managed recovery with guaranteed RTO/RPO you can put in front of a board or auditor. Expedient's SLA posture is built for that.

Strong Fit

VMware-heavy US estates

If your environment runs on VMware and you want a Midwest/East US footprint, the Expedient Cloud lines up with less re-architecture.

Mixed Fit

Veeam/Zerto-native shops wanting platform depth

If your DR tooling is firmly Veeam- or Zerto-native and you want a provider built around those, compare against 11:11 Systems's DRaaS.

Less Likely

Orgs primarily needing colocation

If your real need is rack space and colo with DR as a secondary, TierPoint's colo-plus-DR model may fit the shape better. Brief that instead.
