What DSI does
DSI Tech (legal entity DISYS Solutions Inc.) is a privately held U.S. IT Value-Add Reseller (VAR) and managed services provider founded in 1991 and headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia. The firm resells and integrates enterprise IT infrastructure from a focused set of tier-one vendors — Cisco (Gold Partner since 2004, including Expert-Level Customer Experience specialization), HPE Aruba (Gold), HPE (Silver for Hybrid IT), Palo Alto Networks (NextWave Innovator), NetApp (Gold), Microsoft (Azure Silver), Pure Storage, Semtech, and APC by Schneider Electric — and wraps those products with managed services (Cisco Meraki and Cisco DNA-based managed WLAN/LAN, managed security, managed collaboration, managed VoIP) and professional services (implementation, network assessments, deployment, and 24x7x365 onsite support). Core solution areas span audio/video, cloud and data center, collaboration, hybrid work, IoT (including smart buildings), networking, security, and wireless.
The company's primary customer segments are U.S. Federal agencies (accessed via government-wide acquisition contracts including NASA SEWP V, Navy SeaPort-NxG, and NITAAC CIO-CS) and State, Local, and Education (SLED) buyers (accessed via Texas DIR, Texas TexBuy, and E-Rate-eligible engagements), with a secondary commercial business. Notable deployments include a five-year $60M state university network refresh covering 250+ buildings, a county-wide K-12 wired/wireless upgrade (700 access points, 350 switches), VoIP migrations, disaster recovery implementations, and Cisco Nexus core upgrades for state government.
The business model combines product resale (driven by nationwide contract vehicles that streamline public-sector procurement), recurring managed services with custom SLAs, and project-based professional services. Pricing is consultative and quote-based. The company is NMSDC-certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and holds ISO 9001 and Open Group OTTPS certifications, supporting its federal set-aside eligibility. DSI Tech employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, operates six regional offices (Ashburn, Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Dallas), and is consistently recognized on the CRN Solution Provider 500 and CRN MSP 500/Elite 150 lists. The firm remains founder-owned and controlled, with Atul Bhatia as CEO and Vinu Luthra as President and Chairman since founding.
