Macquarie wins on performance!

IT Industry - Deals

QPAC says its growth strategy aims to position QPAC alongside other leaders in the market including Ticketek, and that it will build on the organisation’s recent $34.7 million refurbishment of the venue adding greater flexibility and deliverability of commercial solutions.

Located in Brisbane, QPAC hosts local and international performances including the Paris Opera Ballet, Australian Chamber Orchestra and Queensland Ballet, and typically converts over 60 per cent of online bookings per day.

According to Holder, customers constantly demand new and exciting offers with everything in one simple package, and, he said, through the Macquarie Hosting solution “we have achieved a far quicker time to market for our new offers and online ticketing applications. Macquarie clearly demonstrated a deep understanding of our business and the critical nature of the online channel to our success.”

Spread across multiple virtual and dedicated VMWare hosts, Holder says QPAC’s mission-critical applications will be housed in Macquarie Hosting’s ISO and DSD Gateway certified data centre, the Intellicentre.

Holder says that specialised services including SSL load-balancing will ensure QPAC can manage growing peaks in traffic to its ticketing site while tape back-up and redundant firewalls offer added security and redundancy.

The deal with Macquarie, says Holder, also includes a comprehensive disaster recovery solution that will give QPAC the “reliability essential to guarantee its ticket sales and build its reputation in the market both locally and internationally.”
