The eWAY for Macquarie with half-million dollar deal

Business IT - Technology

After a comprehensive assessment of hosting providers, Bullock says eWAY selected Macquarie “for its proven experience with transactional web-facing companies and its ability to provide 24/7, secure availability of mission critical applications.”

Bullock says the high-availability, fully managed dedicated hosting solution from Macquarie will enable eWAY to “confidently meet the security standards required of it and manage peaks in traffic to the site as demand for its services grows, both domestically and internationally.” 

“Merchants and consumers quite rightly demand that an online payment system be hosted in the most secure environment and keep pace with the latest trends in payment preferences and e-commerce transactions.”

According to Bullock, customer expectations around ease of use, guaranteed security and one hundred per cent availability of applications continue to rise, increasing pressure on the providers of online payment services.
 
“In turn we are looking to partner with professionals like Macquarie Hosting to meet these standards and expectations without being distracted from our primary focus – growing the business,” Bullock said.

The eWAY payment gateway will be hosted in Macquarie Hosting’s ISO and DSD Gateway certified data centre, the Intellicentre, and while Macquarie says eWAY’s payment gateway does not require a DSD-certified solution, it will be hosted within the same facility as sites for federal and state government, national security agencies and major blue-chip businesses.

Aidan Tudehope, managing director, hosting for Macquarie Telecom, said today Macquarie Hosting was the first telecommunications carrier and hosting provider to be certified to international security management standard, ISO 27001 which he said provides a level of assurance that hosted databases, networks and operating systems meet global best-practice standards for risk assessment, policy, training, audits, controls, information and communication.
