What Voonami does

Voonami, Inc. is a privately held data center and managed IT services provider founded in 2006 and headquartered in West Valley City, Utah (with an original data center in Orem). The company operates two Utah facilities — the flagship SLC2 facility at the Presidential Business Center (~8,000 sq ft, 300+ watts per square foot, n+1 redundant power and cooling, and a proprietary evaporative cooling system that cuts energy use by 80%) and the Orem (SLC1) facility — and is extending infrastructure coverage into Texas via Open Infrastructure sites in Pilot Point and Ponder and a dfw1 listing. Voonami serves businesses of all sizes across verticals including e-commerce, SaaS, outdoor retail, software resale, and professional services, with named customers such as Skullcandy, Fishbowl Inventory, Backcountry.com, GoEngineer, and CityDeals.com.

The company's product portfolio is organized into four pillars: Colocation (outsourced rack space, power, bandwidth, and managed colocation), Cloud (Sandbox, Dedicated, On Demand, Private, Virtual Servers, and Dedicated Servers built on VMware vCloud Director with software-defined networking, multi-tier isolation, edge firewall, NAT, and load balancing), Managed Services (backups, storage, firewall administration, system administration, monitoring, load balancing, and smart/remote hands), and Hosting (application, VMware Zimbra email, web, and VoIP with a self-service IVR builder). Supporting integrations include Veeam for data protection, Tegile Zebi hybrid storage for managed replication, and Fortinet, Red Hat, Microsoft, and Google G Suite for security, OS, productivity, and storage layers. Operations are SOC 1 Type 2 SSAE 18 certified annually with no exceptions, audited by The Cadence Group.

Voonami runs a sales-led, quote-based go-to-market with monthly billing and no public pricing. Revenue is generated from a mix of recurring subscriptions (cloud, hosting, VoIP, internet) and managed services contracts, distributed through direct sales, the UTOPIA fiber network across 16 Utah cities (where Voonami is the exclusive cloud/VDI provider), and technology partner resale channels. Leadership is founder-led: Ralph Yarro serves as Chairman and CEO (he also founded incubator ThinkAtomic, from which Voonami was spun out in 2006), with Ben Bush as President and Kelly Sawyer as Director of Sales and Marketing. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Rackspace Technology: Rackspace is a large, established managed cloud services provider offering multi-cloud management, managed hosting, and managed security across AWS, Azure, Google, and VMware. It is comparable to Voonami as a managed services provider serving mid-market and enterprise customers, though at much greater scale and breadth.
• RingCentral: RingCentral is a leading cloud UCaaS provider offering hosted VoIP, contact center, and team messaging to businesses of all sizes. It competes with Voonami's VoIP product line at the feature and pricing level, though at far greater scale and brand recognition.
• CoreSite (an American Tower company): CoreSite operates interconnection-focused colocation data centers and provides cloud-enabled managed services. It is comparable to Voonami as a colocation and managed services provider, but with a much larger national footprint and stronger emphasis on hyperscale cloud on-ramps.
• CyrusOne: CyrusOne is a large hyperscale-leaning colocation and interconnection provider with national data center footprint. While it serves larger enterprise and hyperscale customers than Voonami, it competes for the same colocation, power-density, and connectivity-driven workloads in overlapping geographies.

Direct peers

• 8x8: 8x8 is a cloud UCaaS/VoIP provider with hosted voice, contact center, and video services for businesses. It directly overlaps Voonami's hosted VoIP business with IVR, hunt groups, and mobile sync, though 8x8 operates at national scale versus Voonami's regional deployment.
• PhoenixNAP: PhoenixNAP is a regional data center and cloud infrastructure provider offering bare metal, colocation, managed services, and hosted VoIP/UC solutions from U.S. and international facilities. It is comparable to Voonami in combining data center, cloud, managed services, and VoIP under one roof for SMB and mid-market customers.
• Flexential: Flexential (formerly ViaWest) is a national colocation, cloud, and managed services provider serving mid-market and enterprise customers with hybrid IT solutions. It directly overlaps Voonami's combination of colocation, multi-cloud, managed services, and connectivity offerings for similar buyer profiles.
• Liquid Web (Staminus / Nexcess parent): Liquid Web is a managed hosting and cloud provider focused on SMB and mid-market customers, offering dedicated, VPS, managed WordPress, and hosting services. It is comparable to Voonami's hosting and cloud business in targeting the same SMB/mid-market segment with subscription-based infrastructure services.
• DataBank: DataBank operates a network of edge data centers and provides colocation, cloud, and managed services to mid-market and enterprise customers. It is comparable to Voonami in business model (colo + cloud + managed services) and in its emphasis on regional/metropolitan facilities outside the largest hyperscaler markets.

Others

• UTOPIA Fiber: UTOPIA Fiber is the Utah municipal open-access fiber network on which Voonami delivers business internet, voice, and private networking services. It is not a direct competitor but a critical channel partner and infrastructure enabler for Voonami's connectivity and cloud-over-fiber offerings across 16 Utah cities.
