Smart Selective Sourcing

Outsourcing provides selective options to improve e-business deployment & performance. Macquarie Hosting specialises in the design, sourcing and delivery of customised application hosting solutions and smart outsourcing.

High-availability online transaction environments

A business generating revenue via online transactions requires 24/7 uptime; our secure, robust state-of-the-art data centre guarantees your systems are secure and operational and is ideal for all forms of secure application dedicated hosting. We are particularly suited to support the hosting of high-availability transactional online environments for web-based businesses.

A Smart Sourcing Solution would typically deliver 99.99% uptime with high-speed redundant Internet performance. Macquarie Hosting designs, builds and manages all the infrastructure and operating system environments for these solutions, generally using a 4-Tier high-availability model. You stay in control by providing and managing your own applications. We provide 24/7 expertise in managed infrastructure.

Outsourcing solutions include:

• Smart Sourcing, installation and management of Server Hardware
• Managed Server O/S: Windows 2000,2003, Solaris, RedHat
• Proactive Security Patch Management
• All environmental services: Fire Suppression, Air Con, Power (N+3)
• Shared and Dedicated Firewall Management
• GB LAN Switching
• Routing and VLAN Configuration
• WAN Connectivity – multiple carriers, any technology
• Managed Load Balancing
• Managed Backup Services
• SAN / NAS – Storage on Demand
• Primary and Secondary DNS management
• Email Hosting, Store and Forward

A typical development would involve the design of a secure staging/UAT (User Acceptance Testing) or staging environment as part of the hosting solution. This environment can be hosted on-site at the data centre (with production servers) or off-site (in Melbourne or Ryde) in DR (disaster recovery) facilities.

Our other core hosting services include dedicated hosting, managed colocation and shared hosting / shared email services. Macquarie Hosting is able to offer combinations of these core services to achieve the best outcome for our customers.

Macquarie Hosting offers these services with strict Service Level Guarantees.
