Expedient

Workload support

Provider-documented

Expedient has separate VMware and Nutanix AHV recovery offerings. Its VMware options reference Zerto, VMware and Cohesity technologies; the Nutanix offering uses native Nutanix recovery. [1] [2]

Push Button DR documentation lists Windows/Linux guests, vSphere, and databases including SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL. It excludes Hyper-V for that service; this is not a statement about every Expedient offering. [3]

Recovery locations

Provider-documented

The DR page advertises 15 failover locations. Listed US markets include Baltimore, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Memphis, Milwaukee, Denver and Phoenix. Multiple facilities can be in one market. [4]

Testing scope

Provider-documented

Push Button DR supports isolated bubble tests and live-failover variants. Bubble tests keep production available but lack internet and inter-VLAN connectivity. Initial testing uses agreed acceptance criteria; later assisted tests need advance scheduling. [5]

For Nutanix, test failover starts recovery copies in an isolated VPC, with Expedient conducting or assisting on request. Planned live failover requires a maintenance window and failback. [6]

Cost details

Provider-documented

Properly scheduled traditional Push Button DR tests have no additional charge. On Demand tests incur daily RAM, compute, and VMware-license utilization charges; test labor is not charged. [5]

The product comparison distinguishes dedicated guaranteed resources from shared On Demand resources. No standard numeric DRaaS rate was verified in the reviewed sources. [4]
