(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Australian web hosting provider Macquarie Hosting (www.macquarietelecom.com/hosting) announced on Tuesday it has upgraded its entire data center network core.
The upgrade increases Macquarie’s scalability across the business and its ability to manage the faster network speeds Australia’s new national broadcasting network will deliver.
The network core upgrade is part of Macquarie Hosting’s overall investment of more than $55 million in its Sydney data center.
The facility hosts Australian businesses and government organizations including the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, PBL Media, carsguide.com, SBS and WebJet.
The upgraded network has the capacity to deliver more than one terabyte of data per second, providing customers with increased scalability, improved reliability and greater capacity.
Macquarie says it took 15 months to design, build, deploy and migrate its customers. The upgrade is designed to help Macquarie prepare for the increasing peaks in demand for managed server hosting services that Australia’s new NBN will deliver.
“More and more companies are moving their business online to capitalize on the broad benefits that high speed broadband will deliver,” says Aidan Tudehope, managing director of hosting at Macquarie Telecom. “As a result, there is a parallel peak in demand for managed hosting services. Any business that has not already started to increase data center capacity or scalability to cope with that demand will face multiple challenges and long-term opportunity loss.”
