Helping clients with their cloud journey through application matchmaking, security and compliance evaluation, performance needs, cost visibility/optimization, and managed services.The journey to cloud for many companies can result in overspending and unpredictable costs. When moving to the cloud, many factors have to be looked at to evaluate performance needs, security, compliance, disaster recovery, data protection, and integration to the variety of dependencies that exist. The choice of cloud becomes a very important decision and one that cannot be made in haste. I assist companies to analyze their current workloads and provide the best match of services to meet business and technical needs of the organizations we work with. Many of our solutions involve a varied mix of colocation, private cloud, public cloud, managed services to offload low value tasks, with connectivity and security to tie it all together.

Helping businesses realize the benefits of Cloud, Virtual Private Cloud, DRaaS, Traditional Colocation and more. More details to come!Find more of our services here: https://www.expedient.com
