Connecting people with technology since 1996.

Our mission is to build trusted solutions that pave the way for sustainable IT and the next generation of technology builders.

Hello, World!

Opus Interactive began as an IT division in a creative agency in 1996. We joined HPE and VMware’s Partner Programs in 2003 and started working with what was then called “virtualization”, launching the first version of the OpusCloud in 2005. For more than 16 years, we’ve continued to partner, innovate, and optimize for the best in security, performance, and sustainability.

Today, we’re a woman-owned organization with climate-positive offerings. Our tailored hybrid and multi-cloud solutions are available from Tier III data centers that deliver our customer workloads from coast to coast, with global on-ramps. As stewards to their infrastructure, we are committed to the advancement of sustainable hybrid and multi-cloud services and advocate on behalf of Sustainable IT, STEM, Women in Tech, and Digital Inclusion.

In the last 40 years, almost 90% of all information technology licenses were made by male-only teams, with women representing just 11 % of engineering positions. As a WBENC-certified Woman-Owned business, Opus Interactive is a strong supporter of women in technology.

Opus advocates for diversity, equality, and inclusion through hiring, speaking, sponsoring, partnerships, mentorship, and promoting allieship.

Paving the way for the workforce of the future matters. We’re committed to generating awareness for STEM-related careers in the technology industry and creating opportunities to increase the number of women in tech.

We're stewards to our customers' infrastrucuture - committed to advancing sustainable IT

Our approach to energy efficiency is end-to-end. We begin by right sizing workloads so the architecture is consolidated and optimized – utilizing cloud computing for resource pooling, on-demand resources, and virtualization. We house workloads on ENERGY STAR certified servers and storage units and manage airflow using cable management and aisle containment that reduces the mixing of hot and cold air, optimizing cooling delivery. The hybrid ecosystem is monitored on a platform that incorporates AI and predictive analytics to gauge equipment health and provide continuous network optimization. Opus’ hybrid solutions all reside in LEED certified datacenters that utilize renewable energy, low PUE, and holistic efficiency practices of the facility partner.

  • Low Footprint Servers: When we shifted from traditional servers to HP blade servers, our primary “eco” benefit showed up as significant power savings of nearly 30%.
  • Aisle Containment: Server racks are oriented so that the fronts of the servers face each other. In addition, the backs of the server racks also face each other. This orientation creates alternating ``hot aisle/cold aisle`` rows. Such a layout greatly reduces energy losses and also prolongs the life of the servers. In addition, blanking panels are incorporated to further maintain the cold aisle integrity.
  • High-Efficiency HVAC Units: We use highly efficiency computer room Air Conditioning units that utilize VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives), which allow air handlers to vary speeds based on IT to maximize efficiency and power usage.
  • Water Side Economizers: We incorporate HVAC adjustment that use the evaporative cooling capacity of a cooling tower to produce chilled water and can be used instead of the chiller during the winter months.
  • Air-Side Economizers: We utilize air-side economizers that bring outside air into the building and distribute it to the servers. Instead of being re-circulated and cooled, the exhaust air from the servers is simply directed outside.
  • Highly Efficient Data Centers: We occupy state-of-the-art data centers that are built to LEED Silver and Gold Certified standards. These facilities incorporate unprecedented levels of energy efficiency and control—including 100% aisle containment, and the ability to take advantage of clean power options.

In a world where telehealth solutions, IoT, and online learning and collaboration are on the rise, connectivity matters. At Opus, we’re passionate about advancing connectivity and generating awareness about digital divide statistics.

  • Advocacy: We serve as a resource in sharing opportunities that engage & motivate interest in all things connectivity - from 5G to LEO satellites to subsea cables
  • Scholarships: We contribute to scholarship funds that promote STEM-related higher education
  • Speaking: We share our insights and career paths on panel and at events to generate awareness for what it means to live in the digital divide
  • Events: We host and attend connectivity events - from livestream webinars with industry professionals to attending NASA rocket launches
