Our Expertise

Deft does it all, from strategy to implementation.

And we do it all well. Whether you’re moving from colo to cloud, cloud to colo, or integrating a healthy mix of both, we’ll bring your IT vision to life better as a team than you ever could solo. Our advice is both technically informed and wholly unbiased.

Network Connectivity

We don’t just run the local network for you — we run the ISP behind it. If something goes wrong, we can route around it.

Hybrid Cloud

Connect any mix of Deft’s Managed VMware Cloud, third-party clouds, managed services, and colocation gear.

Data Centers

Our global data centers keep your IT systems online 100% of the time.

Managed Services

Leverage Deft’s technical talent to get more done with less overhead.
