Macquarie Hosting deal with SBS

IT Industry - Deals

According to Zufic, Macquarie demonstrated to SBS that they had proven experience in virtualisation and a track record supporting large scale commercial Internet services, and, he says the agreement will “help us to translate our television and radio reputation to the online environment and meet our objective of being the lead source of multimedia news and entertainment on the web.”

SBS has set a target to grow the number of unique visitors to its site by more than 50 per cent over the next three years, with Zufic predicting that an achievement of this target will see more than 1.2 million unique visitors to the site per month and more than three million individual video views.

Comprised of fully managed and load-balanced servers and three terabytes of managed SAN storage, Zufic says the hosting solution will enable all of SBS’s online services to be consolidated under a single provider for the first time, and that the agreement also gives SBS a hosting solution that is centrally managed to improve back office workflow and decrease time to market for new deployments on the website.

SBS’s mission-critical applications and website will be housed in Macquarie Hosting’s ISO and DSD Gateway certified data centre, the Intellicentre.
