DSM provides secure, compliant private and hybrid cloud solutions for mid-market and public sector clients, specializing in data protection and managed services.
DSM is a premier Florida-based cloud service provider that specializes in delivering secure, compliant, and highly available infrastructure solutions. Founded in 1986, the company has evolved from a traditional IT services firm into a specialized leader in the private and hybrid cloud market. DSM’s core mission is to solve complex IT challenges for organizations that operate in highly regulated environments, such as state and local government, healthcare, and financial services.
The company’s service portfolio is built around four primary pillars:
Managed Cloud Services: Providing scalable IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) through private and hybrid cloud deployments.
Data Protection: Offering comprehensive backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions.
Managed IT Services: Delivering 24/7 monitoring, management, and support for complex IT ecosystems.
Security & Compliance: Ensuring all workloads meet rigorous industry standards such as CJIS and HIPAA.
DSM has established a significant market presence as a trusted partner for public sector entities, particularly in the Southeastern United States. Their longevity in the market—spanning over three decades—provides them with a unique historical perspective on the evolution of enterprise technology, allowing them to guide clients through digital transformation journeys with a focus on stability and long-term viability. Today, DSM continues to invest in high-performance computing and advanced security protocols to stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape.
Company Differentiation
DSM distinguishes itself through its "Service First" culture, which is deeply embedded in its operational DNA. Unlike large-scale commodity cloud providers where customers are often relegated to automated ticketing systems, DSM operates on a model of high-touch, personalized engagement. Their business model is built around the concept of becoming an extension of the client’s internal IT team rather than just a third-party utility provider.
The company’s philosophy centers on the idea that technology should be an enabler of business goals, not a source of complexity. This is reflected in their proactive approach to customer success; DSM assigns dedicated engineers and account managers who understand the specific regulatory and operational nuances of each client’s industry. This relationship-driven approach is particularly valuable for mid-market organizations and government entities that require deep technical expertise but lack the internal resources to manage complex hybrid cloud architectures. Furthermore, DSM’s commitment to transparency and ethical business practices is evidenced by their long-standing partnerships and high retention rates in sectors where trust and reliability are non-negotiable.
Managed Private Cloud: Single-tenant or highly isolated multi-tenant compute environments tailored for performance and security.
Hybrid Cloud: Solutions that bridge on-premises hardware with DSM’s cloud resources for seamless workload portability.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS): Tiered recovery options ranging from cold-standby to real-time replication with automated orchestration.
BaaS (Backup as a Service): Fully managed offsite backup with long-term retention policies and rapid recovery testing.
Security & Compliance Suites: Add-on packages for advanced threat detection, log management, and compliance reporting.
Colocation: Physical rack space in DSM’s secure facilities for clients who wish to maintain their own hardware but need enterprise-grade power and cooling.
Product Differentiation
The primary technical differentiator for DSM is its hyper-focus on data sovereignty, security, and compliance. Their product suite is engineered to meet the most stringent regulatory requirements, including CJIS, HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2. This makes their cloud infrastructure a preferred choice for law enforcement, healthcare, and government agencies that cannot risk the multi-tenant vulnerabilities or data residency ambiguities often found in public clouds.
A key innovation in their portfolio is their integrated Data Protection as a Service (DPaaS). Unlike fragmented backup solutions, DSM provides a unified approach to backup and disaster recovery that is natively integrated into their cloud environment. This ensures near-zero RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) for critical workloads. Additionally, DSM offers a "Right-Cloud" approach, which utilizes a sophisticated orchestration layer allowing clients to balance workloads between DSM’s private cloud and public providers like Azure or AWS. This hybrid flexibility, combined with their managed services layer, removes the burden of day-to-day infrastructure management from the client. Their infrastructure is housed in Tier III data centers, ensuring high availability and physical security that meets federal standards.
