Dizzion and Expedient Challenge Public Cloud with New Private Cloud PC

DENVER and PITTSBURGH – January 14, 2026 – In a significant move aimed at reshaping the digital workspace market, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) innovator Dizzion and private cloud leader Expedient today announced the launch of Dizzion Private Cloud PC powered by Expedient. The new service delivers virtual Windows desktops from a secure private cloud environment, presenting a direct challenge to the cost and complexity concerns often associated with both public cloud DaaS offerings and traditional on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

The joint offering leverages Dizzion's established DaaS platform, Expedient’s robust private cloud infrastructure, and enterprise-class Nutanix technology. It aims to provide organizations with a managed solution that combines the control and performance of a private environment with the economic predictability and agility of the cloud, addressing a growing demand from CIOs and CFOs for more stable IT operating models.

A Private Cloud Answer to Public Cloud Volatility

The launch arrives as many organizations are re-evaluating their wholesale commitment to public cloud infrastructure. While hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure offer immense scale and flexibility, many enterprises have struggled with unpredictable billing, performance volatility, and data governance complexities. This has fueled a trend toward workload repatriation and the adoption of hybrid or dedicated private cloud strategies, particularly for mission-critical functions like end-user computing (EUC).

The Dizzion Private Cloud PC is positioned to capitalize on this sentiment. The partnership promises a 20–40% improvement in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to unmanaged VDI or hyperscaler-based DaaS. This cost advantage is derived from a predictable, per-user monthly pricing model that eliminates the variable compute and data egress fees that often lead to budget overruns in public cloud environments. By removing the need for upfront capital expenditure on hardware and the operational burden of managing complex infrastructure, the service offers a compelling financial alternative.

This market entry is also timely, given the recent disruption in the traditional VDI space. Following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, many customers are facing significant price increases and licensing changes, creating an opportunity for stable, cost-effective alternatives. The new offering from Dizzion and Expedient provides a clear path for organizations seeking to modernize their digital workspaces without the vendor lock-in or cost uncertainty that now characterizes parts of the market.

Unpacking the Technology: Nutanix, Dizzion, and Expedient

The strength of the new service lies in the strategic integration of three industry leaders. Expedient, recently named Nutanix's Americas Service Provider of the Year, provides the foundational private cloud infrastructure. This includes enterprise-grade hardware and a network of U.S.-based data centers, ensuring high availability and performance.

At the core of this infrastructure is Nutanix's hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform. Nutanix is renowned for simplifying datacenter operations and is a popular choice for VDI and DaaS workloads due to its linear scalability and resilient performance. The platform allows Expedient to offer two distinct deployment modalities: a cost-efficient shared cluster for smaller teams or less intensive workloads, and a dedicated cluster for organizations with stringent security, compliance, or performance requirements. This flexibility enables customers to start small and scale without re-architecting their environment.

Dizzion provides the user-facing DaaS management layer. Its platform orchestrates the delivery of the virtual desktops, enabling secure access from any device with a web browser. Dizzion's expertise in EUC ensures a seamless user experience and simplifies administration for IT teams, who can deploy new desktops in hours rather than weeks. This combination creates a turnkey solution where the complexities of infrastructure, virtualization, and desktop delivery are fully managed by the providers.

Solving for Control, Compliance, and Data Locality

For organizations in regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and government, data governance is non-negotiable. The Dizzion Private Cloud PC directly addresses this with its emphasis on data locality and compliance. By hosting the service exclusively within Expedient's U.S. data centers, the offering guarantees that all customer data remains within national borders, a critical requirement for data sovereignty.

Expedient's facilities adhere to rigorous compliance standards, including HIPAA for protected health information and PCI DSS for payment card data. This pre-certified environment significantly reduces the compliance burden for customers, providing a secure foundation for their digital workspaces. This stands in contrast to public cloud environments, where achieving and proving compliance across a global, multi-tenant infrastructure can be a complex and continuous effort.

The ability to choose between shared and dedicated infrastructure further enhances control. While the shared model offers a lower price point, the dedicated option provides complete resource isolation, guaranteeing performance and enabling custom security configurations to meet the strictest corporate or regulatory policies.

Redefining the Digital Workspace for the Enterprise

Ultimately, the partnership aims to deliver what Dizzion CEO Rob Green calls a digital workspace experience "without drama." The platform is designed for operational simplicity, targeting organizations with 100 users or more but architected to scale to thousands. The promise of rapid deployment—going live in days—and the ability to mix shared and dedicated modalities within a single environment provide long-term operational flexibility.

Bryan Smith, CEO of Expedient, emphasized the need for predictability in today's IT landscape. "CIOs want predictable performance, predictable costs, and the ability to operate with confidence, without the constraints or volatility of public cloud," Smith stated. "By combining Expedient's enterprise-class infrastructure with Dizzion's industry-leading DaaS capabilities, we're delivering a Private Cloud PC solution that reduces risk and accelerates modernization."

Echoing this sentiment, Rob Green highlighted the customer-centric focus. "Organizations are searching for a more secure, cost-stable, and user-friendly way to deliver digital workspaces," Green said. "This is the future of managed private cloud PC: performance, security, and simplicity delivered as a service."

The platform supports a wide range of use cases through standardized Cloud PC instance sizes, including options with NVIDIA GPUs for graphics-intensive applications like CAD, video editing, and data visualization. This ensures that all employees, from task workers to power users, can have a high-performance virtual desktop tailored to their needs.

Dizzion Private Cloud PC powered by Expedient is available immediately across the United States, offering mid-market and enterprise organizations a compelling new option to modernize their workforce computing with the security of private cloud and the simplicity of a managed service.
