HERNDON, Va., August 11, 2021 – EdgeConneX®, the pioneer in global Hyperlocal to Hyperscale Data Center Solutions, today announces its partnership with Opus Interactive, a woman-owned cloud, colocation, and IT services company based in Portland, Oregon.

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,” said 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.
