Performive operates as a managed services provider (MSP) specializing in secure, VMware-based cloud solutions tailored for growing mid-sized companies. Founded in 2005 by Carlos Carluccio and Gary Simat, the company is headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. Gary Simat, an entrepreneur with extensive experience in the managed services market and datacenter operations, serves as a Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor, having previously led the company as CEO.

The company's business model is centered on delivering managed IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and cloud services to a client base that includes industries such as private equity, manufacturing, healthcare, legal, and financial services. Performive generates revenue by providing these mission-critical services, which help businesses scale their operations, secure their digital environments, and optimize performance.

Performive’s service portfolio is designed to function as an extension of a client's internal IT team. Key offerings include managed VMware cloud environments, multicloud and hybrid cloud management (including AWS, Azure, and GCP), and bare metal servers. A significant focus is placed on data protection and cybersecurity, providing services such as Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), cloud backup, Office 365 backup, and immutable backups for ransomware protection. The company also delivers managed security services like proactive threat mitigation and SOC/SIEM solutions. To address skill gaps or temporary needs, clients can access on-demand certified engineers for specialized projects through a service called Devoted Engineering Support.
