Expedient is a privately-held colocation and cloud computing provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, running a network of company-operated data centers across ten U.S. metro markets as of 2024: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Boston, Memphis, Milwaukee, Denver, and Phoenix. Rather than chasing the major coastal data center hubs, Expedient has deliberately focused on secondary, ‘tier-two’ Midwest and regional U.S. markets, often growing through sale-leaseback acquisitions of former corporate data centers (from companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield and Nationwide Insurance) rather than only building new facilities from scratch. The company describes its 15th U.S. data center, CMH3 in Lewis Center, Ohio, as designed to exceed Uptime Institute Tier III criteria, continuing a pattern where each of its facilities is built to that same redundancy standard. Expedient sells colocation, private/public/hybrid cloud (IaaS), managed services, and disaster-recovery-as-a-service, and has been recognized among the top managed service providers globally by Channel Futures’ MSP 501 list and named in Gartner’s 2020 DRaaS Market Guide.
Expedient operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
