Vinters

What Vinters does

Vinters (formerly VooServers, rebranded 2020) is a privately-held UK managed IT services provider founded in October 2005 by Matt Parkinson and headquartered in Maidstone, Kent. The company delivers fully managed and co-managed IT services to medium and large enterprises across the UK, EU, and USA, organized around four service pillars: Managed IT Services (end-user support, Microsoft 365 management, preventative maintenance, and cybersecurity via SentinelOne EDR); Oracle Services (database hosting, Oracle RAC hosting, Oracle APEX hosting, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and consultancy — a specialization developed since 2011); Infrastructure & Cloud (management of on-premises, private cloud, edge, and public cloud environments using Hyper-V, KVM, Proxmox, and VMware); and Data Protection (managed BaaS and DRaaS built on the Veeam Data Platform). Vinters operates three data centre points of presence in Kent (UK), Frankfurt (Germany), and New York (USA), supporting geographically distributed Oracle RAC stretch clusters up to 4,700 miles with stated RTO of 2 minutes and RPO of 10 seconds. The proprietary Savanna Cloud Platform is being deployed across UK, European, and US sites as a second-generation cloud offering.

The business model combines recurring managed-service contracts (monthly SLAs and reporting) with flexible Oracle consultancy engagements offered on both ad-hoc time-and-materials and set monthly hours bases. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales — free initial IT audits, senior technical specialists in solution design, and enterprise field sales in both the UK and US — supplemented by content marketing, customer testimonial videos, annual Oracle CloudWorld attendance, and the UK government G-Cloud procurement framework for public sector access. Revenue streams include managed services, professional services, and infrastructure/cloud management. The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional funding, holds ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and GDPR compliance credentials, and maintains partner statuses with Oracle (Silver), Microsoft, Veeam (Gold), and N-able (Elite). Headcount is stated at 11–50 employees, and no revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
