Opus Interactive

What Opus Interactive does

Opus Interactive is a private, woman-owned (WBENC-certified) provider of dedicated Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), retail colocation, and managed IT services headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon, operating since 1996. The company's core offering consists of two product pillars: Dedicated IaaS providing tailored single-tenant bare-metal and virtualized private cloud environments with 24x7 U.S.-based management, and Retail Colocation in Tier III+ data centers across five U.S. markets (Oregon, Virginia, Texas, Arizona, Kansas City) sourced via wholesale footprints with strategic data center operator partners. The platform supports hybrid and multi-cloud architectures with direct fiber connectivity to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and is built on partnerships with Pure Storage (FlashArray and FlashBlade storage), VMware (Cloud Foundation and vSphere management), and Veeam (backup and Cloud Connect DRaaS).

The company monetizes primarily through monthly recurring subscription contracts priced on a quote basis, emphasizing flat-rate predictable billing without egress fees to differentiate from hyperscaler pricing. Modular add-on managed services — including cloud storage, SOC MDR security, hybrid cloud monitoring, public cloud cost optimization, VMware management, VDI, network services, and remote hands — are bundled under a single Advantage+ SOW and invoice to increase attach rates. Go-to-market is a consultative enterprise field-sales motion targeting mid-market and enterprise customers in fintech, SaaS, healthcare, and regulated industries, supported by an inside sales team handling inbound quote requests and channel partnerships with technology vendors.

The business serves 300+ enterprise clients with a 9.4+ Net Promoter Score, including multi-decade relationships such as WEtap Media (20+ years). Compliance posture is a central element of the value proposition: Opus maintains PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and FISMA-High (Virginia) certifications, enabling workloads for payment processing, protected health information, and federal-grade applications. The company is owned and operated by founders Shannon Hulbert (CEO), Eric Hulbert (President), and Brady Wilson (CTO), with a lean headcount of 11-50 employees, and was a six-time Inc. 5000 honoree from 2018 to 2023.
