At Portaltech Reply we have just launched our new Private Cloud Hosting Platform for high traffic eCommerce sites. With dual data centres providing hot switch disaster recovery and a virtualized server farm with capacity locked to individual customers this private cloud hosting solution is highly secure, redundant and can scale on demand by adding further virtual servers. Extra capacity can be added for short periods of time to scope with extra demand, for example planned sale period, new catalogue / season launches and Christmas trading.
The infrastructure has a built in CDN (Content Delivery Network) which is able to serve content to servers located around the world meaning a user coming in from Australia will be served as if the hosting environment was located locally. This is an absolute necessity for any business which has significant international traffic or sites that specifically serve particular regions. The first customer to launch on Portaltech Reply’s Private Cloud Hosting Platform is Long Tall Sally that already serves customers around the globe and has regional sites for US and Canadian. New customer launching on the Portaltech Reply Cloud Hosting Platform include Space NK and Lockhart Catering which are due to go-live early summer.
