Interoute provides virtualisation to maintain web performance for more than two million unique visitors per month
London, 6 July 2011 - Interoute, owner operator of Europe’s largest next generation network, has today announced that tour operator Nouvelles Frontières is using its managed hosting to support growth of its web based business. Rather than relying on four hosting providers, Nouvelles Frontières has upgraded to one hosting platform from Interoute, utilising innovative virtualisation technologies to deliver flexibility.
Each month the Nouvelles Frontières website attracts more than two million unique visitors and it is essential that its customers are able to access the website at all times. Interoute will provide Nouvelles Frontières with a secure, dedicated bandwidth of 100 mbps, which can be turned up to 1Gbps in less than five minutes should the website face a peak in traffic. The tour operator now has a robust and flexible hosting platform with the option of adding virtual servers to scale up bandwidth to meet demand during peak times and maintain an excellent customer experience.
“Interoute provides a more secure, reliable connection between our hosting sites, ensuring business continuity,” comments, Philippe Jeammet, COO of Nouvelles Frontières. “In addition, Interoute is providing us with a range service levels to accommodate the business criticality of each application.”
Emmanuel Dubois, website administrator, said: “By adopting virtualization and newer hosting technologies we have significantly increased our performance and reaction times. Working with Interoute has enabled us to regain control of the application management of incoming email and allowed us to deliver on the promise to respond within 24 hours. We also have the ability to test our new website on a virtual machine before moving into production, saving us up to three days on each development cycle.”
Interoute will host Nouvelles Frontières online store and brand’s showcase,
www.nouvellesfrontieres.fr, the corporate website, the auction site, as well as a host of internal management tools.
