## Getting Ahead of IT Risk with Expedient Cloud, DRaaS, and Backup

 ![Three colleagues reviewing a document together at a desk]()

A growing electric distributor was relying on a self-managed Hyper-V environment that was becoming harder for its small IT team to support as new locations opened. With no working disaster recovery, an extended outage could disrupt transactional sales and send customers elsewhere. Expedient Private Cloud moved the company to a managed VMware environment with the support and scalability it needed. Expedient DRaaS and Expedient Backup added near-real-time replication, on-demand recovery, and reliable data protection to strengthen business continuity and support growth.
