Multi-Region Performance and Reliability
During December, theCloud will complete a major hardware upgrade to its Auckland site. The outcome will be a significant increase in overall capacity and a mirroring of the Hamilton technology platform. The immediate benefits for customers comes from the inter-site replication of data, theCloud now has two HP 3PAR Storage Networks (Auckland and Hamilton) with industry leading replication ‘smarts’ keeping specific sets of data copied between the sites.
A key objective for theCloud is to operate a standard technology platform in each of the five main centers in New Zealand. With Hamilton and now Auckland taken care of, the focus will shift to Wellington and the first stages of theCloud Wellington are expected to come online in February 2012. The standard build is designed to scale almost infinitely without disruption.
Keeping the technology platforms common ensures portability of services, and more importantly it keeps the business processes and management policies common. This uniformity saves time and money, and makes it easier to maintain the highest possible level of service for customers.
High speed fibre optic connectivity from network partner FX Networks gives theCloud the backbone I needs to deliver these solutions and give customers the ability to connect into theCloud at speeds up to 10 Gigabit per second.
