EdgeConnex and Opus Interactive team for hybrid cloud at the edge
EdgeConneX has partnered with Opus Interactive, a woman-owned cloud, colocation, and IT services company based in Portland, Oregon. The partnership will enable additional Edge-based cloud solutions for enterprises across the EdgeConneX global footprint. This includes Opus Interactive cloud migration with options ranging from dedicated bare metal environments to variable hybrid cloud and multi-cloud solutions from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, VMware, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle, OpusCloud and more.
“As more data goes online, workloads are being distributed across a hybrid ecosystem that oftentimes integrates multiple clouds,” says Shannon Hulbert, CEO of Opus Interactive. “Vendors with expertise in supporting holistic enterprise builds that match workload to hybrid and multi-cloud component by performance, compliance, and budget needs of the organization are hard to locate. Taking it a step further and finding a partner with a tenure of proven performance that also meets our own sustainable IT goals is an added hurdle. A premier edge data center provider with a longstanding philosophy of bringing the edge to its customers, EdgeConneX was a natural partnership fit. We’re excited for what this partnership means to expanding climate-positive cloud all the way out to the edge.”
